Penalty Lions, Elton should slot it… misses

10 / 10
Baie goeie wedstryd. Dink die Leeus gaan hom vat, hulle is meer desperaat vir die wen.
@ superBul:
Miskien dink die miniatuur Ref is kleiner as hy, en lyk soos sy kleinboet…..
Mvovo is such a strong runner, good hands, good vision.
He needs to replace Bryan Habana… or at least Bjorn Basson does too.
They are both miles ahead of Habana at present……. clear daylight between those 2 and Habana
Derek Minnie motm so far, check the work rate of that Lions’ #6, he is all over the place!
Both these 2 teams manage to get the balls to their wings… Bulls ball never reach their wings
Mvovo is a strong bugger, lekker fris gebou, bene soos boomstompe
VRYSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!
Driee die seisoen, boonop het Basson 4 teen Sharks gedruk in n game.
Bjorn Basson 17
Lwazi Mvovo 11
2nd Half on
Mvovo en Minnie veg vir die MOM.
Sharks tackle baie keer hoog en die regters kyk dit mis.
Hi folks, on the issue of who should be playing on the wing for the Boks or any other team, how important is tackling, taking the ball in the air and defensive kicking and how good are the pretenders Mvovo, Shadow, Basson etc.
The Lions are proof of what a decent coach can do for a team.
Imagine if the Boks had a decent coach.
Taute off injured
@ superBul:
Ek is bly Basson is nou ‘n Bul.
74@ fender:
Shadow is way off form… also he never gets the ball.
But Mvovo and Bjorn Basson cooks on the left wing, in all facets of play!
@ LondonBul:
Ek ook
@ Loosehead:
Ja, for sure. Must say I am very impressed by the Lions.
To get back to your point about the Boks – imagine if H Meyer was Boks coach!
Lions attacking like demons now
Elton Jantjies down, Stefan Terblanche off injured…. elbow or something
75: hoor hoor.
@ LondonBul:
H. Meyer is still enjoying the Italian Pasta and Pizza……!!
Julle weet Carlos was verby sy beste as speler in die S14 maar sy afrigting lyk puik. Hy sal dalk n goeie bydrae kan gee by die Bokke.
Scrums are a mess
Waylon Murray scores… TMO
Awarded
Weet iemand hoe ernstig Gary, Jaco en Juandre se beserings is? Is hulle uit vir weke of dae?
Lions 15 / 10
Good try there by Lions.
Oh, and I now know how to remove a monkey from your home……!!
Puma 😆
Uiteindelik by die huis. Wow….die lions speel mooi ne?
