@ fender:88 – Hello Fender, Well you see what a good coach can do? I rate Mitchell plenty. Good on Lions for signing him on for 3 years. Hope this is the rise of the Lions. SA needs a strong Lions team. A big union like that we need em to be strong. Feel great for them and their supporters. Hope they win. Sorry Fender but Lions are my 2nd team.

WELL DONE LIONS. That was awesome.
LIONS ARE BACK. WONDERFUL.
Really great to see a big union back. They going to be a force next year. What a brilliant coach they have.
That youngster Elton Jantjies is brilliant. We sure do have some great youngsters coming through.
This is really great for the Lions, if anyone wanted to leave the boat. They must reconsider. JM is turning thing the right way over there. And i bet you Dick has nothing to do with this,
Well done, Lions and welcome back! Congrats also to Scrumdown, Lions4ever… A tremendous win built on desire, belief and a fair amount of skill.
Was impressed with a number of Lions, Doppies le Grange got things going and hit the line hard all night, good offloading skills, Elton Jantjies very impressive. Taute looked strong, but you got to congratulate the Lions forward pack, they got control in the last 30 minutes even stole a line out.
Well done Lions, John Mitchell is going to show the SA coaches a trick or two.
Who says South Africans cannot keep ball in hand.
Good night everyone. Catch up tomorrow.
