Lawrence has orange glasses on today!
Cheetahs just piled straight over at the ruck and he didn’t blow them, yet he’s consistently penalised penalised the Lions throughout the first 40 for the same thing.
Where is the consistency?
So, Ireland bliksemmed the Azuri by a margin of 32 points (42 / 10).
Afraid my bru margin for Ireland was only 11…. eishhhh
86: as Goosen vir die bloues kom speel kan hy voor Morne begin.
89@ The_Young_Turk:
Have to agree.
Looking SH1T so far.
Cheetahs not much better, but less mistakes.
CR@P game.
Hope the 2nd half is better. I expected more.
91: ja, ek het dit ook raakgesien, veral daardie laaste losgemaal, Ferreira het sleg van die kant af ingekom en Lawrence het hom nie gestraf nie.
2 Nd Half ON!
Penalty to the Cheetahs… and Johan Goosen is down injured
Noble also injured and leaving the field.
Goosen is OK and will kick for goal.
Cheetahs 22 / 12 Lions
Penalty ‘tahs. The orange ones!
Goosen for poles. Another long one. Over.
12/21 Cheetahs.
The margin now 10 points…. Lions will have to score soon
@ Scrumdown:
12/22 numbnut!
100 @ Scrumdown:
Your maths suck… hehehe
Penalty Lions, on about halfway… against Brussow
Penalty Lions.
Too far for Jantjies?
He tries anyway.
Has Taute touched the ball yet?
@ grootblousmile:
I need some Captain to wake the grey matter up.
This match is sending me to sleep.
Altwee jongmanne skop baie goed.
Another LONG Jantjies kick OVER.
18 / 22 ‘tahs.
OK, so my eyes are kak too.. about 45 m out..
Jantjies slots it.
Cheetahs 22 / 15 Lions
Another penalty, a longer one, Jantjies slots that one too.
Cheetahs 22 / 18 Lions
Cheetahs penalty, Goosen lines it up… ding-dong!
Penalty in front for the ‘tahs.
Easy kick. Over.
18 / 25.
Goosen down with cramp after the kick!
Cheetahs 25 / 18 Lions
Die tweede helfte gisteraand op Loftus was baie meer opwindend. Hierdie twee spanne moet nou begin speel.
Neither of these teams at this early stage of the comp, look like they are going to be any more competitive this year than in the past. Relegation, here we come!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A Converted try seperating the sides….
Goosen battling?
Brilliant take from the air by Taute.
Penalty in their own half to the Lions, touch it is.
Killian about to come on.
