@ Loosehead:
Morning mate, yea I guess hoping for a Lions win here is a dozen bridges to far.
Hellooooooooooooooooo muppits, moepels, mopkoppe & friends!
Lovely sunny day here in Gautengeleng… short sleeves and shorts and sloppies day…
Morning Loskoppi, Bossies, webmonster, and minions,
Jip, and it was funny seeing the Bulls mbongis trying to put a positive spin on the performance vs the Rabble Rebels lol.
The Lions have seemingly run out of mbongis lol.
Lets hope the Lions can do a better job of not conceding bonus points, than the Poinkie Bulls
Go Lions!
Morning glories. Great day down here in mountain goat land too. Very cold at first light, but the sun is up, no clouds, no wind. We should also be in for a storming autumn day.
Lions out on the pitch…
Todays paper saying that Toetie is trying to borrow Flo from Bath for a bit to replace Vermeulen/Koster. Eish, would be good to see him back in a Stormers jersey. Hope Bath are feeling generous!
Chiefs out too
Game ON! … let the punishment begin
Talking about Mbongis, I can’t wait to hear how they are going to spin a positive note, in the drubbing the Kings copped in Nelspruit last night.
Pumas 30 – Kings 19
Not exactly credentials for relegating the Lions?
Chiefs scrum… they’re innovative, look at the shallow kick-off… and it worked
10 @ Cheetah4eva:
Yip… I say put the Pumas in Super Rugby… hehehe
My Bru pick was ultra conservative… Chiefs by only 27
10@ Cheetah4eva:Runour has it SARU have already got a delegation together to send to SANZAR to plead for a seventh SA team to be included in next years Super rugby. They feel that if they can sneak the Puma’s into the comp as well, it will make the justification process easier.
Chiefs penalty, shot at goal
Cruden slots it
Chiefs 3 / 0 Lions
14 @ Just For Kicks:
Bwahahahaha
Great Lions attack
I’ve got the Lions by 28 – wonder how conservative that was!!!!
Lions penalty, right in front… quick tap
Over the line… try?
TMO
Good attacking play by the Lions
Lol, at least the Lions are making a good fist of it this morning. Man, will it be good if they can turn the Chiefs over. Bad for my Bru, but I will take it on the chin.
No try… 5m scrum
Another Lions penalty, 5m out
They go for touch
Lions playing the gambling game here, thats the second penalty not kicked
Chiefs steal the Lions ball… hacked to touch
….and they lose it. Perhaps not the cleverest move
Chiefs defence sublime
