CJ van der Linde also on.
Penalty Canes, they can only go for touch, too far out
59@ grootblousmile:
Was his blood red?
Canes knock… Lions defensive scrum
@ grootblousmile: Lekker rugby! Lions altyd opowindend om te kyk.
Ek het Lions met 8…dink dit was te konserwatief, hulle gaan verder wen, die game moet net patroon kry, moosa los oppie oomblik.
62 @ Scrumdown:
Hehehehe… no…. Bright PINK!
Penalty Lions, 55m out…
Taute going for goal
Canes pinned for offside. Taute for poles but into the breeze.
Don’t reckon he’ll have the oomph.
This game is crucial for the Lions season. If they can’t beat the weakest of the kiwi sides at home, then they don’t deserve to be in the super15!
64 @ Pietman:
Lions hou van die game so los jong… eishhh
Taute slots it!
Lions 8 / 6 Hurricanes
I think if you play a very structured and diciplined game against these Canes, they will be moerred silly.
Not a strong pack, and because of their style of play there are gaps to be exploited.
Penalty Lions again, 59m out… just too far for Taute to slot. Jantjies going for touch.. and it’s a goodie!
Lions maul it up… now 10m out
Canes counter-attack almost causes kak… Taute does the same back and the Lions almost break clean through
Eishhh baddd knock by Minnie…
Flip. Lost connection and struggled like sh1t to reconnect. Only an edge signal now.
Nearly as slow as a Bulls centre!
@ grootblousmile:
True, WP also made the same mistake, playing too loose. Bulls will moer these Canes, for sure.
Stroooong Lions scrum…. that was gooooood!
Lions playing far too loose now.
Mitchell will sh1t all ver them at the break.
Penalty canes.
Minnie again. FFS. get with the program.
Penalty Canes… Minnie penalized
Hou kop Minnie!
Hurricanes 9 / 8 Lions
Over.8/9 Canes.
Am I seeing things or do the Canes players look tired and lethargic already?
Lions’ loose play is bringing the Canes right into the game. Terrible tactics. First secure the win before you think about scoring 4 tries.
Penalty Lions… late tackle on Elton Jantjies
Almost a card for the Canes…
54m out… Taute going for goal again
Now CJ crocked as well.
Uncontested scrums to come?
Strikes the upright… missed… just
Eishhh CJ is off.. and we should have uncontested scrums for the rest of the game.
Bugger!
FFS.Game spoiled as a spectracle now.
Canes now hard on attack and over the line… is it a try?
