Lions 13 / 9
Lions defence is certainly made of sterner stuff these days.
Lions willing to run almost anything, from almost anywhere
Varking Ref is missing a good game here. WP blocked the Lions attackers.
Relieving penalty to WP
Peyper rook nie die pyp nie, hy is maar swak!
Peyper also left his guide dog at the hotel. That ball wasn’t knocked, it came off his knee.
Try Jaco Taute, under the sticks
TRYYYYYYYYY LIONS.
Jantjies jou doring.
Conversion good.

Did you guys see that Supersluiper, superfan of the Lions?
Flok, I always knew the Lions were not lekker upstairs, but that sets a new standard!
2nd Half ON!
74@ grootblousmile:
And that coming from a group of people that put rings through their noses, paint themselves blue, and wear blue saftey hats with cow horns stuck to them.
POT, KETTLE, BLACK. Make a sentence.
Kickable penalty Lions.
Poles is eventually the decision.
Taute takes it and…….
misses.
76 @ Scrumdown:
Jeez, at least we do not buy pants at the knop-shop!
Taute misses a long range penalty
WP hard on attack
Relieving Lions penalty, right near their line, obstructive running by WP
79@ grootblousmile:
No, only keep them in business.
Try disallowed. Crossing obstruction. Did someone find Pyper’s guide dog and contacts?
I have to commend the Lions defence
82 @ Scrumdown:
No man, you’re thinking about the knock-shop…. hehehe
Pat cilliers off. jacobie Adriaanse on for the Lions.
Knobs and knockers, whats the difference?
I think they should ban neon boots. they’re obscene IMO!
Penalty WP, early tackle by Moses Strauss
Penalty in front for the cafe Boy.
