Canes on attack now
Another Canes penalty… Lions offside… kickable
Penalty in front Canes.
Hurricanes 3 / 0 Lions
Over. 0/3 Canes
Knock on. Scrum Lions 5m out.
Great attacking platform.
Massive knock by Eaton…. Lions scrum about 7m out
Lions will have to play flat out for 85 minutes, in Canes’ half, force the play so Jantjes can have the shots.
Come on Lions… I picked you on Bru by 6
Gee. Welsh not even going upsatirs.
Lions almost over… back for a 5m scrum….
TMO

Must be a try!

Tho’ I’m not complaining, Lions were a bit lucky to get that try confirmed.
Lions 5 / 3 Hurricanes
Kick is missed.
Lions 5/3
Flippit, Josh is n monster!
I picked Lions by 7!
Strauss loses the pill in contact.
Canes on attack.
Canes back hard on attack… Lions defence holding so far
Lions defence looks good thus far. No panic like in recent years.
And then it opens up like the red sea.
Penalty Canes.
Penalty advantage and penalty to the Canes… not rolling away in the tackle
Canes putting tremendous pressure on Lions defence. Can they hold out???
Barrett going for goal
Hurricanes 6 / 5 Lions
Poles
Over
5/6 Canes
Deon van Rensburg of for blood… Kamana on in his place
I see Kamana on. Anyone see who went off? Must be van Rensburg.
