Ja, Lions speel met absolute passie.
Can this be classified as a pakslae?
@ smallies72:
Niemand in SA sal die Leeus nou weer aflag nie. Baie van die Bok probleme sien ons vanaand hier uitspeel.
211 @ smallies72:
You said it would be easy for the Staat… it was’nt… you were wrong, simple as that.
Jantjies flawless today. A masterclass. The youngster has worked hard and made steady and considerable progress in tightening up his game.
Mitchell putting all his replacements on.
2 Minutes left in the match… and the crowd is already celebrating
Seconds left
215@ superBul:

Lions savaged the Sharkies today and the guppies will leave Ellis Park bleeding and broken!
Final Score: MTN Golden Lions 42 / 16 The Sharks

GBS, rugby won tonight!
@ Just For Kicks:
Yip, hope the new bok coach takes note!
225@ Just For Kicks: So ‘n bek moet jam kry.
Congratulations to the Lions…astonishing!
Just read Jurie Roux’s press conference on 365 – what a class prat. Answers each question starting with dear … and then on to the answer, except that he doesn’t answer one question properly. Plus what gives him the right to wear a Bok tracksuit. he’s an office moffie and shopuld dress like one
227 @ Just For Kicks:
Yip, it was a bloody good match.
Rugby was the winner.
@ grootblousmile:
Pietman picked the Lions by 18 , also a bit low.
Pietman nearest pick
Well, that has closed off a wonderful Currie Cup campaign for the Lions.
For their sakes I hope they can carry it forward to Super Rugby… specially against the overseas sides.
@ grootblousmile:
No more just giving 5 points away, I trust.
Well, that’s the SA rugby season over. Till next year and the super 15.
Our Superbru CHAMPION

Although you knew your game, your team forgott to play today.
Commiserations
Well, well, well… the NO 5 Super Rugby side in SA becomes the No 1 Currie Cup side for the year.
Guys,
I say thanks to everyone involved.
I think that Rugby was the winner here, and that a team will always triumph over a group of talented individuals.
i am proud to be associated with a bunch of guys like those on this SITE who actually know Rugby.
I WILL NOT SEND 1 E-MAIL OR SMS to anyone about this game.
Thanks guys.
Tough luck Puma and Snoek and all of the Sharks supporters.
