Baywatch the scorer
@ grootblousmile:
Hello GBS
Chiefs 20 / 7 Lions
Cronje needs to give crisp service. Much too many steps before passing
Taute’s having a good game
Scrum middle spot, Chiefs ball
I don’t think he got that
Try Masaga?
TMO
On the dead-ball line…. is that a try?
No try ruled… 22 drop-in
Lions penalty… will they tap… yes they do
Lemoenetyd
Just what would you say to the Lions if you were John Mitchell… at halftime
“Well done boys, you’re only 13 behind!”
Mallett + Technical analysis = a decent supersports commentator. Long may he remain!
74@ grootblousmile:”I’m going to shoot the next oke that tries to commit suicide out there”
2 Nd Half ON!
76 @ Just For Kicks:
Mallett is well-spoken too… he’d make an excellent commentator…. and would talk sense for a change
Fark, Jantjies have messed up 2 kick-off’s… and now a kick that goes straight up…. utter kak stuff
Lions penalty, that was good Lions play… good steal too
If Josh Strauss would just start passing the ball, he’d have the Chiefs completely flummoxed.
Lions choose to kick the easy one to touch again… do they think they’re playing Varsity Cup rugga?
Chiefs penalty, truck and trailor
82 @ Just For Kicks:
Yim man, he never freegin passes
Free Kick Chiefs, on their 22… high bomb the choice
Lions backline far too deep on attack
Try Lelia Masaga… great work Cruden
Chiefs show the Lions who the real king is
Chiefs 27 / 7 Lions
