Currie Cup: The Sharks vs MTN Golden Lions – Live Game Article

Published 15 October 2011 | By Scrumdown

Sharks 53 / Lions 9 (Final score)

The Sharks hosted the MTN Golden Lions at Kings Park, Durban at 19:10 SA Time.

This was the live match discussion Article.

The sharks totally outclassed a lethargic and error ridden Lions side to book a home semi final against the Free state Cheetahs next week, where they will certainly carry all of the momentum.

The match was broadcast LIVE on SuperSport 1, SHD & M-Net on TV in SA.

    Didn’t quite understand that penalty. Webster Jafta must know the rules better than I.

    @ ben_die_bul:
    Wow, when one sees it spelled out like that, you realise the loss to SA rugby.

    Another try Botes

    Scrumdown on 15 October 2011 at 8:54 pm

    TRY Botes.

    This is a good hiding for the Lions.

    Much better second half by the sharks 48 – 9

    So sleg verloor moet sy scars los, hoop die Leeus sal in ‘n week kan regmaak.

    Lions must be over the moon that hooter has sounded

  • 136

    Just For Kicks on 15 October 2011 at 8:56 pm

    Not giving up though

  • 137

    Just For Kicks on 15 October 2011 at 8:57 pm

    And another try Terblanche

  • 138

    Scrumdown on 15 October 2011 at 8:58 pm

    Oupa scores after the final hooter from a blatant forward pass.

    Lions will certainly not be complacent after this hiding.

    So na die Bok debakel is daar twee provinsies wat gelukkig is, die WP en die Sharks met al hul bokke terug.

    Sterkte aan die underdogs, Cheetahs en Leeus !

    Ciao guys, see you tomorrow.

    Well I think that this was probably the best thing that could have happened to the Lions at this point in the season.

    A rude awakening of note. 2 or 3 half hearted decisions, and the quality side that the Sharks with their internationsl players are capitalised big time.

    Mitchell will have to do some serious brain work on his players.

    after the game against the WP he said that they would the mental conditioning this week already. Well if he did, it didn’t work. Lions were out thought and out played.

    I’ve said all season that the Lions were setting themselves up for a HUGE disappointment. Let’s hope it isn’t so.

    Cheers guys.

    I won’t be joining you for tomorrow morning’s game. I have to see a client at 09h30. Let’s hope it’s a 0-0 draw after extra time, and that all of the penalty kicks are missed.

    Hopefully then, the coin will get stuck in the grass on its edge.

    RWC 2011 isn’t worth squat anymore IMO.
