Hurricanes 27 / 18 Lions
Dink die beste ding wat met die Canes kon gebeur het is dat die ou hout uitgesny is (Andries Whore, Piepie Weepu en Mamma Nonnie), hulle speel mooi rugby.
Kan Leeus terugkom ?
To think I had the confidence to put my house on them.
17 Minutes to go…. Come on Lions!
Would someone tell Owen that this team is the Hurricanes, not the Crusaders.
@ The_Young_Turk:
Hang in there, 20 minutes to go still…
Greef and Whitely off.
153 @ The_Young_Turk:
Hope your bond was paid off… hehehe
152: Andries (W)hore
155@ Loosehead:
Does Owen know what day it is?
@ Pietman:
My nerves can’t farking take it man! These are the farking Canes we are talking about, not the Reds or Saders.
What the fluk is Cilliers doing on the wing (again) ? Who does hethink he is, Andries Bekker?
Penalty Lions…. kick for the corner, boys!
Too many VARKIN FORWARDS loitering in the Lions back line.
GO AND DO YOUR REAL JOB FFS.
@ grootblousmile:
Fortunately just figuratively speaking
Jantjies goes for poles…
Slots it
Hurricanes 27 / 21 Lions
160@ Scrumdown:
Rightly so! 🙂
Lions now more fired up… but we have a Canes lineout… because Butch kicked the bloody thing… flok!
166@ grootblousmile: Please confirm that you wrote poles.
Kom Lions. Julle kan nie dat die vrot Canes hier wegkom met punte nie.
This team are gonna give me a Varkin coronary and a stroke at the same time FFS.
@ Scrumdown:
Ditto. From the start they were all over the park, led to a try when Josh was tackled all on his own with no support.
Uncontested scrum also took the aggression out of the pack.
Lions have it, maul it up… 4m away…
Tryyyyyyyyyyyy
Butch??
TMO………………..
Is that a try?
TMO
Tryyyyyyyyyy
Awarded
TRY.
Yebo, yes!
Lions 28 / 27 Hurricanes
