Loosehead might almost be pissed and cannot be held responsible for any of his posts from here on.
Never nice when someone is stretchered off!
Lions penalty against Werner Kruger
Jacques Potgieter’s been busy and flippin strong this game.
Penalty Lions, shot at goal for Jantjies.
Lions must have lost almost every set piece this game, at least they get the penalty
Bulls 25 / 13 Lions

195 @ The_Young_Turk:
Etzakkerly!
Aikona off, subbed.
Hougie to left wing, Jano Vermaak on
Unlucky bounce for Steyn
Morne with a massive kick but too long and it goes dead… scrum all the way back
Kak sleg bounce for the Bulls.
Lions getting a thorough goring. Points difference now out to 19.
Early engage by the Lions, Free Kick Bulls
Fark, one can hear the crunch of the tackles on the field ears…. some massive hits
Why the Lions insist on giving the Bulls possession all the time is beyond me
Lions penalty and subsequent lineout… Bulls 22
Bulle in relax mode.
CJ VDL, the worlds mosts overrated prop.
Bulls just way, way too good for this Lions side.
