Leeus moet aanhou wen, soek ‘n Leeus vs Bulle finaal op Ellispark … soos 2002, die begin van nog ‘n nuwe bulera, dit is te lank sedert ons ‘n beker gewen het (Mei, 2010, S14). 😉
Penalty Lions…. inside the Staat 10m area
Penalty Lions. 39 m out, but difficult angle for the lefty.

smallies is gelukig vir sy eie gesondheid nie hier, hy sou totaal sy top geblaas het met die site, die ref, die skoppers. Wat n gesukkel deur die Cheetahs.
Lions now quite rampant
Another Lions penalty and Jantjies goes for posts again… over

Vark I had Lions by 5 on Bru’ but I won’t complain.
The question is will JM still be a miserable fokker at the presser?
Het dit al voorheen gesê, maar sê dit weer: kan nie vir so klein mannetjie so baie mag gee nie (fluitjie), hy gaan dit misbruik.
Super, dink jy Smit het regtig so seer gekry, of is dit om Snorre te beskerm, dat hy nou ‘n ‘rede’ het om hom nie te speel nie ?
Die dewrgie ref blaas sy fluit so happy-go-lucky…. wonder of hy muise uit die stad uit lok?
Try Staat??
TMO
70@ ben_die_bul:
if Smit is so important to the group he should go as the non-playing squad leader. IE as a member of the support staff.
FS pressing. TMO?
Try awarded to Tewis de Bruin, I think
Lions 17 / 10
Staat kan nog gelykop speel, Leeus gaan hulself skop as hul hier nie wen nie.
Lions trying hard to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory?
3 min left, Cheetahs hot on attack
Staat 5m out
Coenie over the line… is he held up?
TMO
Held up? TMO.
I recon it’s a try…
FS don’t look convinced.
Last minute. 5m scrum FS.
Lions still unbeaten in CC 2011 and still on top of the log?
Ruled held up
Het julle ook daardie spannende Jaws musiek gehoor terwyl die TMO gekyk het … ek het nogal bang geword.
Final Score: MTN Lions 17 / 10 Toyota Free State Cheetahs
Lions win!!! 17 – 10.
Vark me, my hart het amper gaan staan!!!
Great defence at the end. This young Lions team is starting to show the commitment and hunger that their fans haven’t seen for many years.
Well played Cheetahs. You should have won this one, but poor goal kicking cost you the win.
85@ ben_die_bul:
Hehehe
Ja, ek bewe sommer!
88@ grootblousmile:
Be afraid. Be VERY afraid.
Played 5, won 5.
Lions have to build on this good start and aim for a home semi.
Can’t take anything for granted. Last year the Griquas won their first 4 and failed to make the semi’s, so still hard work to do.
Vark me, Taute sounds as if he hasn’t reached puberty yet!
