Chiefs on attack, 10m out
Chiefs penalty, 5m out… player on the wrong side, not getting out the way
Hoert julle twee Leeuwens.
Ek bank werk, belangrike dag vir my superbru vandag, hehehehe!
Chiefs opt to scrum
Josh Strauss off, subbed
123 @ Pietman:
Hello Sultan Piet!
Minnie earns the Lions a penalty… relief for them
123 @ Pietman:
Bunk sommer die hele dag!
6 Minutes to go… time too little to score 2 tries eiether way
Just not quite good enough from the Lions now. Silly mistakes mean they just can’t get out of their own 22
Lions steal a vital Chiefs ball… then knock… arghhh
I wonder how the Kings would have fared today?
Lions doing okaay.
Howzit pietman
Chiefs scrum, 5m out…. what will happen now
Scrum slips… time is eaten away
Chiefs knock, Lions scrum…. 3 minutes to go
Guess my Bru is not spot-on… hehehe
That last move in the try area just sums up this stupid kamikaze style of play the Lions have adopted today. My guess is that Micthell has had the squirts all week, thus had to spend more time in the bog than he would have liked. Spencer, in the mean time has snuck into Mitchells office and changed the battle plan. Because this game has his name written all over it.
@ grootblousmile:
@129 Dissie plan, gatvol vir Saterdag werk, bots met my kultuur….ek het ook mos n kultuur, nie net hierdie klomp sandbewoners nie.
Another collapsed scrum, scrum again
131@ Pietman:Kings got hammered by the Puma’s last night in the QF of the Vodacom Cup
Yet another scrum….. flok tog
@ Just For Kicks:
Well bru thx. Where is that little Turkey fellow, mia again?
138 @ Pietman:
Janee, flokkie werk!
Lions Free Kick… and then a Lions penalty
Hooter has gone, Chiefs knock… Lions play on… out into touch.
Game over
Final Score: Chiefs 34 / 21 MTN Lions
Not as bad a loss as I was expecting. Well done the forwards, they, alone kept the Lions in the game, and good to see the improvement in that department. Ackerman still nobly doing his job.
@ Just For Kicks:
@140
Oh no! Not our Kings, bwhahahaha!!!!! Those filthy Pumas, I will never forgive them….
Well, 3 from 3 for me on Bru, but all the margins farked though…
Baywatch – a gifted post match speaker!!!! – not.
