Hello Kitaartjie
Bulls down to 13 men. Just like the Adidas All Blacks should have been.
Now Wynand Meisiekind cops a yellow….. late tackle and a stiff one, apparently
Flok, nou wil ek EERS he die Bulls moet wen!
@ fender:
Hey Fender!
Sorry but the 20/20 cricket does bugger all for me.
Goooooooooo Bulls….. almost…. just Kirchner too suinig…
Bulls back to 14 men….
Bulls blow over a ruck, and get penallised for going to ground
Justice, Lions knock
Louis Fouche just misses a drop goal attempt
Bad knock by the Bulls…. luckily the Lions has a forward pass
Scrum Bulls….
When is old Meisiekind allowed back….
Penalty advantage Lions, high tacle by CJ Stander…. luckily advantage is over.
WTF is the ref doing on his stomach?
Lions over the line, held up
Wynand Meisiekind finally back
Even Pro Legotla is a better ref than this poephol.
Lions penalty, 5m out
Lions choose the scrum
Lions relentless in attack
Another advantage to the Lions.
