There’s just no respect for points to be taken by the Lions…. none
Chiefs penalty, on the Lions 10m line
If the Lions continue to play this style of rugby, it could end in a very embarrassing loss. THey really do still need to do the basics right before they embark on this kamikaze style rugby.
Chiefs 6 / 0 Lions
Lions fluff the kick-off, not 10 metres
Chiefs bench as relaxed as they come
Helter skelter stuff
Try Cruden?
TMO
Should be a try
Much too easy. Chiefs bigwigs must be rolling on the floor with laughter right now. I’m not impressed with this Lions plan. Its just plain dumb
Try awarded
Chiefs 13 / 0 Lions
Chiefs penalty again, this one a bit far out
Scrumdown might be closest with his 99-point pick…. hehehehe
Chiefs earn another penalty, on about the Lions 22m line
Lions defensive scrum, about 5m out from their line
Fark, Lions try to run it from their own line
Try Chiefs, Craig Clarke
Try time, and a routing on the cards???
Chiefs 20 / 0 Lions
Haibo! Now it’s becoming a massacre!
Fark me sideways, one more Chiefs try and they’ll be on my Bru margin already
Scrumdowm might get this spot on with his Bru pick
Like boys against men…
COME ON LIONS, sheez.
Lions defensive penalty, deep in their 22
