James lucky to get game time seeing how the Lion backline is playing, it took the blood bin to bring him on
Almost every call is going against the Lions now.
@ superBul:
He’s obviously not unbiased.
Scrum penalty to the Lions… Taute for goal from a long distance
Bad miss by Taute…. but the Lions are not done yet
nou moet die dun luggies net hulle dingetjie doen
can’t see Sharks overcoming this deficit.
Hoffmann off, subbed by Cronje… about time too.
Hoffmann has been rather ordinary
Lucy, simmer down
@ Just For Kicks:
Bloody commentators are taking the piss out of MHS!
Penalty against Beast… easiest of kicks for Jantjies
Lions 35 / 16
Hey Sakkies, gaanit met julle mense?….lyk maar of doe Springbokspan sukkel teen die Lions
Looking forward to the Super 15 and these new Lions not simply bending over for the overseas teams anymore.
Relieving penalty for the Sharks…. they trail by a hefty 19 points, with 14 minutes to go in the match

Hello Os_Botter
Lions want this much much more than the Sharks.
Pure brilliance
Lambie with a marginally forward pass….
… there can only be ONE winner now, surely!
Try Taute!
Laat ek dit maar eerste se maar BduP is nowhere, ek sien wel n great Bandise Maku.
Lions 42 / 16
You could be the most avid Sharks supporter, but when you see rugby of this calibre, you can only be impressed
Puma ou mater jy kan nie hier stry nie , die Leeus was awesome
@ grootblousmile:
die klomp HUIDIGE bokke kak maar vandag teen n oud bok en n klomp wannabees ne !!!!
Beast having one of his worst games of his career, they’re really working him over
26 Points behind… 7 minutes left.
It’s all over bar the shouting
The big names in the Sharks squad have been overshadowed today. Shows what some guts and determination can do. They haven’t allowed the Sharks to get into their stride.
Hello Super en GBS….sorry, is maar skaars deesdae op die forum. Werk hou my baie besig. Ja Super, ek stem saam….maar gelukkig lyk die toekoms baie belowend met al die talent in SA deesdae….kom ons hoop spelers word voorentoe op meriete gekies
