It’s almost game time as the players start coming out onto the pitch
Skeur hulle in stukkies, Leeuws!
Best of luck, both ways!

@26
Ek kan glo daai twe bruvvas is kwaai opgewerk, stoere Leeuwens daai….ek is bly vir hulle span. Dit sal n groot dag wees vir ‘Tvl-rugby’ as hulle weer die koppie wen, veral in Kevin se eerste jaar as Prez.
Eintlik het die Leeus ongelooflik opgestaan, as jy vat waar hulle n jaar gelede was met die Elof-debakel, onttrekking van daai swart sponsor, en als. Hulle verdien n moosa medalje, wen of verloor vandag, SA rugby kan net baat by die Leeuwens se herlewing.
Lions now also taking the field
@ grootblousmile:
@30 Goed man, dankie.
Gou weggeloop by die werk, saam met die vrou kom rugby kyk by die huis.

Sien daar is ‘n klomp oop kolle op die pawiljoen, wonder of ‘n klomp mense weggebly het omdat hul dink daar kom reën ?
Penalty Sharks, too far out
Sharks now on attack… and the Sharks get a penalty, quick tap…. dof
It was very kickable
Another Sharks penalty… sealing off by the Lions
Frederic Michalak bangs it over
Lions 6 / 3
Refs kyk nie lekker vir spelers wat vinnig opkom nie, die Sharks was al op die speler voor die bal gepass was
Sharks have arrived, better late than never, but that was a stupid penalty option
Lions penalty, on about the Sharks 10m line… Jantjies to go for goal
Lions 9 / 3
