No problem….you can log in as a guest…don’t need an account
Baardman is making a real meal of it today.
Methinks the Lions could be in for a looooong afternoon.
Fluk, Strauss’s hands are letting him down.
Butch gets the “no arms” tackle again.
Allmost a try……..penalty against Butch.
13-0
Ke-ching!!
Another penalty, not worth a card.
Eish rugby is getting soft, and not helped by little cretins like Reuben Roussouw. There was F all in that tackle.
Rugby is besig om verdomp belaglik te raak. Al hierdie kaarte….sokker een van die dae
Lions on a warning.
Assies….wdf maak jy?
@ Scrumdown: we would never be able to play the “modern” game.

Daai Goosen laaitie is n yster. Blink toekoms wat vir hom voorle
76@ Loosehead:
Yep. I enjoy raking the opposition in the rucks too much. Believe me the roll away a lot quicker the next time.
Everything is health and safety and for the tv these days.
Goosen not shy to get involved in the rucks either.
Replace Goosen, Ebersohn is an able replacement.
Cheetahs too good for the Lions today. Can’t see my side getting ANYTHING out of this game.
Think it’s time for a dop.
Cheetahs all over Lions now
@ bos_otter:
Thanks mate, all sorted now! Go Cheetahs!!!
Geez, Van Zyl has a brilliant pass on him.
Try no.2
TRYYYYYYYYYYYYY EBERSOHN!!!!!!
23-0
Eber….you doring!!!
@ The_Young_Turk:
