Almost a break-away try by Trevor Nyakane…
Relieving penalty to the Lions… Ferreira pinged in the lineout
Better play by the Lions… that was threatening
Could be a looooooong season in JHB!
If Mitchell had hair he’d be tearing it out in lumps by now!
Still anyones game. Not sure any of the kitty litters deserve the points though.
Waltie Vermeulen on for Ferreira
Penalty Lions, very, very kickable.

Penalty Lions.
POLES SURELY!!!!
Penalty Lions… can Jantjies take the lead for his side?
Ashley……nicely settleted into the the bok smash and drop tactic…no will to smash though the opposition defense….it’s as if they just drop,charge and fall down
Johan Goosen down injured again… it’s hard in Super Rugby, boetie.
Sanity prevails.
Difficult kick for a lefty though.
Elton Jantjies lines it up….
