@ Just For Kicks:
hey leave our legends alone
Strong WP scrum… hehehe
Tight head
I have to go and cook for a party coming to the restaurant in a minute – all locals, you’d think they had a bit of respect and wait until the Goats had finished their sermon! Going to miss most of this half, and looks like it could get quite interesting
Province will need some magic from their Boks. Not looking likely at this stage.
121@ superBul:Is that really what he looks like, looks like you may have photo shopped him a bit there to give him a bit of a tan
Relieving penalty to WP.
Kotser down injured….
@ Just For Kicks:
What a pity mate. I’ll shout for both of us.
Lions turn a vital ball over
Just not finishing today, the goats
WP backline far too deep on attack…. not giving themselves the chance to get over the gain line, like that
Burger not having his best game.
Intercept try to Killian
That’s it bye bye goats!
Jinne, hy het sommer sy beentjies klein gehardloop
127@ The_Young_Turk:Looks like you won’t have to shout too loud, but thanks anyway. See you all tomorrow morning for a drubbing
Lions 26 / 12
O may goodness what a score, this will mean that WP must go about throwing the ball around. But will that be wise
WP just haven’t clicked.
30 minutes left….. 14 points difference.
Penalty WP, Lions offside
Maybe with Habs off….Province will be at full strength.
The Greek kicks for touch, WP lineout, 8m out
The greek should have taken the points.
Obstructive running by WP, Lions relieving penalty
Nothing going right for WP.
Whatever happens this is a well drilled Lions team
There’s going to have to be some sacrifices made on the mountain top. The gods are not smiling on WP.
Going to make it more difficult now to appoint Coetzee to Bok coach.
@ The_Young_Turk:
check your coaches mate, we have said that for the last 5 years, since Rassie went there…
If Wp scores reasonably soon, it’ll be game on again… if the Lions score, it’s good night nurse
