Penalty Lions, 40m out… midfield
Take the 3 obviously. What other option could there be idiots!
208@ The_Young_Turk:
Not sure they could block a urinal!
Butch for poles for the bonus point.
Must be at his limit with the breeze.
Butch going for goal… for the losing bonus point
Come on Butchie!!!
Wind blowing the ball over, again…
Missed left… game over
Farkit!! No bonus point either.
The last kick sums up the Lions second half.
Half hearted, half baked, and halfway there.
Ah well. let’s go and prepare for tomorrow’s Moer en Soek.
GO BULLS.
Final Score: Crusaders 23 / 13 MTN Lions

If you go out of the Edit Window, I can just tweak it the way I want to… thanks bud, for handling the game!
Hard words being spoken to the Lions in the middle.
On current form they’re gonna get replaced by the Kings in 2013.
Nope, these Lions don’t deserve to be in the super competition. They played their hearts out against the Stompies but hardly tried against the overseas opposition. That’s how they’ve played throughout their history.
Vlok hulle! Die Leuws verdien om te geskiet wees.
221@ grootPIENKsmile:
Out. Pleasure.
Feel somewhat deflated.
Guildford MOTM.
Don’t think I’m gonna stay for the presser. Heard it all before.
Attendance only 14776. Looked more than that.
225 @ Scrumdown:
No problem…
Hard luck Lions.
