60@ Pietman:
Hoert jou Hier!
Brussow doesn’t look fully fit to me.
Doesn’t seem to be playing his normal game.
Lions hands are terrible. They don’t deserve to be in this competition.
Try Riaan Viljoen
Cheetahs 29 / 7
Lions are fukcing shite!
Try Robert Ebersohn…
Nou hardloop die Staat die Leeus farktup!
Lemoenetyd
Cheetahs 36 / 7
57@ Scrumdown:
Could be 60 at the current rate of scoring…. it’s already 29!

@ grootblousmile:
Tiaan se hart moet lekker klop as daai tweeling van hom so lekker speel.
Ek onthou die Ebersohns op Stellenbosch met die Craven finaal(2007 ?) teen Nick Koster se WP, Staat het 50-3 gewen op n natveld….die Ebersohns en Wilton Pieterson het amok gemaak.
Jammer Wilton is so gruwelik beseer, daai outjie is n tweede Aplon.
69@ Pietman:
Janee wragtig!
Lykmy Sias het nou behoorlik sy voete gevind in Super Rugby.
Daai Cravenweek span waarvan jy praat was mooooooooooooooosa!
I see the Lions have taken their tackle bags onto the field at halftime… maybe they should leave them on the field in place of the players…. hehehe
2nd Half on!
71@ grootblousmile:
Couldn’t do any worse.
Penalty Staat… stuuuupid play by the Lions
Staat 39 / 7
Ebersohn is kicking superbly. 37/7 Cheetahs
Brussow steals a ball
Jano Vermaak on for Kokkerot
Mitchell ringing the changes early.
Can’t see it helping though!
Error-ridden Lions…
Mitchell must be wondering what he’s let himself in for!
There’s been no improvement since they got rid of Loffie.
When they have the pill, they constsantly cough it up of infringe.
Shockingly poor.
Could easily be a 50 pointer here tonight, and the ANZACa are waiting. Vlok.
Karamba Kabamba on for Brussow
They would battle to catch a cold, never mind a Rugby ball on their shoelaces!
Penalty again for the Staat, 22m line
Taute and Rhodes on, Whitely and Killian off for the Lions.
Penalty Lions… about 30m out… they go for touch
Adriaan Strauss is having a monster of a game
Lions play themselves 40m backwards through juvenile errors. Make that 70m!
Bonus point try for the Cheetahs… Riaan Viljoen’s 2nd try of the night
