Penalty Lions offside from the knock.
Francis for poles.
Now a penalty for the Lions…
over
Stormers 13 / 6
Over. 6 -13 Stormers.
Not bad rugby, considering the weather
Turn over ball but Lions can’t capitalise.
Looks like they’re all playing with a bar of wet soap!
Issit raining ’cause the handling is dubbel k middel a….
Good take Jantjes.
Boring.
36@ fender:
Joburg is wet…. and the weather is foul, brother
Lyk of ons SA spanne in ‘slow motion’ speel in vergelyking met Saders, Reds en Blues.
Nog slegte nuus vir Bulle: VC span verloor 23-25 teen SWD. Ja, SWD. Nou kry Nico Serfontein kans om lekker die bulle bestuur se neuse in die grond te vryf as Goue Leeus en Bulle in een VC semi speel.
@ fender:
Been raining for the last 20 hours or so, but has stopped now.
Water table VERY high in JHB.
5m scrum for the Stormpoppies, Jano had to carry the ball over
Schoolboy errors by the Lions. 5m Scrum Stormers.
Penalty under the poles.
Gift 3 pointer.
Penalty Stormers from this scrum… Cronje just pops it over
Stormers 16 / 6
Ook gereen daar in Auckland, en die manne het 9 driee gedruk.
Try Whitely.
Great ball take and break by Taute.
Try Warren Whitely for the Lions
Stormers 16 / 13
Try Jaque Fourie, under the sticks
Stormers 23 / 13
Ball spills evcerywhere you look!
Expect more at this level.
45@ bdb:
So far 3 neat tries here… not too shabby
Great work by Francis and try for the Lions.
Thanks GBS and Scrumdown for the weather report. Stuck on the OR apron for 45 minutes yesterday while the weather cleared enough for us to take off.
Turnovers galore.
At least it makes for a bit of excitement.
53@ fender:
Jemeltjie, we had hail here yesterday, no wonder you were stuck on the apron at OR
Getting bloody cold here now. Need some OBS!
About time a ball bounced for the Lions.
First one this year.
Hooter goes for halftime…. and Lemoenetyd it is
Half time comes with another handling error by the home side.
Lions 13 – 23 Stormers.
Leeus moet vir Kockett op bring, Jano is die kluts kwyt. Sterkte vir hierdie 2 spanne wat nog moet gaan toer.
