Lions making it too easy for the Crusaders now
One more Saders penalty and my Bru will look excellent, for this game….
… but with my luck….
Relieving penalty to the Lions.
Stadium comes back to life.
Saders turn it over.
@ superBul:Another 2 weeks of harvest, then it should slow down as well. Working over Easter, otherwise would have loved to have been able to take the family away for a few days, alas
FFS has Kaplan been taking lessons from Brycie?
Saders steal a Taute ground ball, so easy… there was’nt a single Lions backup player
10 Minutes to go… the deficit still 10
And the crowd goes moggy for the pink bulerinas as they all come out to practice – I think there may be some serious vocalising at Newlands, they’re certainly getting the bird
Saders penalty… binding…
Saders 5m out
Saders go for the corner. Chasing the bonus point.
Another Saders penalty, and again they go for touch… and I wanted them to go for goal, for my Bru
No, Saders opt to scrum on the 5m line
@ Just For Kicks:
i dont want to sound like a sad sack but 2012 is a real mixture of endurance and patience here.
NEVER had i thought in my life that i would accept brown , dirty undrinkable water in my house for 2 months, and it is not over.
Last night we had a lightning storm at 6 in the afternoon, the power came back 18 hours later.
TV signal is scrambled now because there is another storm coming in from the same direction as last night, that means one thing no power….
Hope to see a bit of the Stormers vs Bulls
Come on Lions, keep the Saders away from a bonus point!
Lions scrum on their own 5m line… maul held up
Relieving Lions scrum as they hold it up on their own line.
2nd half has been a disapointment.
Come on, defend Lions!
Saders scrum…
4 Minutes to go
And Kaplan misses the 2m forward pass!!!! Blind prat.
Good Saders scrum
Well, Lions skinned once again. Looks like they are going to have another horrible season in super rugby.
Crowd leaving in droves now.
Lions need to do something QUICKLY.
Lions relieving penalty.
Less than 3 Minutes left
And to think I was crazy enough to go for them on superbru. I just refuse to learn. Went for Lions and against Cheatahs. What a moegoe I am.
Saders back in possession
Less than a minute to go
@ Scrumdown:
Maybe Lions should rush for the exits and block ’em
Seconds left.. Lions lineout… keep it there boys, no mistakes
30 seconds to play.
Can’t see the Lions getting the losing bonus point now.
