It’s a try… by Taylor
Don’t understand Lions logic.
Surely if you have uncontested scrums you pull off the other prop as well and stick more mobile players on?
Lions looking a bit brittle now. Is this the Lions of old?
Rassie will be so pleased with the uncontested scrums.
Hurricanes 14 / 8 Lions
Terrible passing by Bondesio… not the first time either
Faark, was op skype en nou is ons agter.
Leeuwens moet vir Jantjes en kie innie game kry, hulle speel nou morsig en sonder plan.
Lions back on attack… 5m out
Lions need patience.
Drop attempt by Jantjies…. neeee man!
Missed.
Canes are vulnerable, one MUST have patience!
And have NONE
Lions look clueless too break this committed Canes defense.
Waar de fok is die ander voorries, net twee Leeuwens by die afbreek, staan almal innie agterlyn.
Lemoenetyd
Two tries went a begging, Lions must play to the ball carrier, not wait for the pass, as happened there with Kilian’s break.
Wat drink ons?
Ek is nou so dors, ek drink sommer 2 sletsappe gelyk!
Leeus sal moet wakker word. Hul voorspelers is nie onder een kombers by ie afbreekpunte nie. Kan nie bekostig om hierdie een te verloor nie.
Lions looking like pussycats of old. Mitchel will have to taai klap them during the break.
108 @ The_Young_Turk:
Mitchell will be fuming at them right now.
Difficult Kaalkoppie, that one!
I ask AGAIN, why does Super Rugby not use the 23 man team to prevent UNCONTESTED SCRUMS.
It’s Varking Bullsh1t with a capital B !!!!!!
2 Nd half ON!
Kom Leeuwens, dit was n lekker naweek sover op superbru, moenie nou nonsens maak nie, vat die game vas…
This match is a must win for the Lions. A loss puts them right back to last years level and the Kings here we come.
I reckon Mitchell must be wahing down his feline testes with a nice glass of water right now, ’cause for sure he would have chewed some balls off in the last 10 minutes after that k@k.
Bondesio is having a mare…
… now is the time they could have done with Super Sareltjie….
Come on Lions, hold onto possession…. and just starve them!
Flip this stadium is suddenly VERY QUIET.
Lions backline too deep on attack… far too deep.
Penalty Lions… this one is kickable
Jantjies going for goal
