I saw a man get a yellow earlier today for a tackle like Strauss just made.
Penalty mosses again.

Flok, did it rain in Sodom and Gemorrah today… here we’ve had NOTHING!
Another player benefitting from game time is Maku.
Jaco Taute also so strong in the tackle. SA has a depth of talent coming through.
Sloooowwwww ball for the Lions
Up-and-under, Goosen takes it and is tackled in the air.
