Pumas (6) 20 / Lions (27) 34 (Final Score)
The Ford Pumas hosted the MTN Golden Lions at Mbombela Stadium, Nelspruit at 19:10 SA Time. This was the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1, SHD & CSN on TV in SA.
It was a game of 2 halves, with the Lions dominating the 1st half and the brave Pumas dominating the 2nd half.
Well after the final hooter, the Lions managed to get their bonus point for tries, via replacement Johan Snyman.
Was a very good game to watch!

Penalty Pumas… and a Lions player is in trouble… 12 Lions… Hollenbach
Luckily no card
Lions steals the Pumas lineout.. Franco van der Merwe it was
Pumas not playing a bad game… but player class is the difference here.
Pumas defensive scrum, about 10m from their own line
Pumas penalty… against Pat Celliers at the scrum
Try Pumas?
Jaco Bouwer??
It was a clear knock… no try
Pumas force Bondesio into his own goal area, but the nuggety scrummie just manages to get out of his goal area… lineout
Another Pumas penalty.. they really threatened the line here.. I would tap and go if I were them… they kick out.. lineout 5m out
Lions defence is bloody good.
Looks like one has to take the Lions on, up front.. they’re succeptable there
One very positive thing… the Web Site Migration has finally gotten rid of the freegin SPAM Comments, advertising Viagra-generics and freegin penis enlargers….
It’s all Pumas now, but they just can’t get through the tight Lions defence… penalty Pumas again
No score yet in the 2nd Half… Pumas doing all the attacking
Tryyyyyyyyyyyyy Corne Steenkamp for the Pumas… well deserved!
Lions 27 / 13
Pumas had 72% possession in the 2nd Half…. so far
Damn, can the Pumas claw their way back into this match?

My Bru pick was Lions by 17… so far it’s 14
Lions still don’t have their 4th try for the bonus point…
Relieving penalty for the Pumas….
Little dwarfie ref has actually handled the game well…
8 min left on the clock
Penalty Pumas… and the Lions gets marched another 10m
