Penalty to Kwas… Rose kicks it out well!
Lions scrum, 5m from their own line
WTF is going on. Bezuidenhout clearly stood up, raised his hands to show daylight then got hands on the ball, and still he was penalised.
Do the ref’s have a cooking clue?
@ Scrumdown:
you can see why he was not given a WC blow job
Lions get another relieving penalty… 1 minute left
Now that penalty FOR the Lions was less than the previous.
Ek weet nie meer nie!!!!!!
Penalty Lions…. time is up already… Lions choose to attack
Try Jaco Taute
Now kick the silly thing over, and my Superbru doesn’t look tooooo bad.
Lawrence had a very inconsistent game which while making it a closer game was actually BS IMO.
@ Scrumdown:
Nice win Lions, really great to see them doing so well in this kindergarten competition
Just joking , go for it niegbours , moer them.
Final Score: MTN Lions 41 / 25 GWK Griquas
100@ superBul:
I agree it is somewhat watered down. The Lions are just lucky they lost only one player to the Boks.
However, as JM said last week, the improved performances are as a result of a couple of years of being together as a group and building on what they have.
To keep them together for the next few years will be pivotal as to whether they will become a successful team.
I need to quickly do ONE Game thread for the earliest of the morning matches… then slink off to bed…. see you just before 03:00 in the morning!
103@ grootblousmile:
Possibly.
Goodnight all.
Go England 2morrow.
@ grootblousmile:
you wanna bet you will be late?
106 @ superBul:
No bets… hehehe
Take over if I am…
