209@ grootblousmile:Yup, one penalty would be bril.
Time is up on the clock
Dink die Brumbies kan die Reds klop, hoop so volgende week.

Collapsed maul…. game over

Final Score: Reds 34 / 20 MTN Lions
216 @ Just For Kicks:
Yip, me too… not too bad, I suppose
For the first time in a very long time, we can safely say, the Lions could have won this one.
How did the Cheetahs manage to lose to the Lions early in the season?
@ Just For Kicks:
How the freeging hell could you say that?
221@ The_Young_Turk:Surprised to see you back, thought you’d still have your head stuck in that Russian dictionary! Lions played well early on, went to sleep, and woke up again in the last 20. They definitely could have taken this one in my book.
222 @ Just For Kicks:
I also think Turkey had his head stuck in a Russian…. but somehow I doubt her name was Dictionary
@ grootblousmile:Hahahaha
Bulls injury report:
CJ Stander (hip) and Dewald Potgieter (AC Joint) will undergo scans to see if they will be Ok for the last tour match
225@ grootblousmile:Annus Horribillis for poor old Potty this year, eish
226 @ Just For Kicks:
I certainly hope they are OK!
If only we could come away with a bonus win tonight, we could see ourselves back on top…….I can dream, can’t I?
@ grootblousmile:
@ Just For Kicks:
Yes, you proved that with your opinion of the Lions
OK fellas, see you later…. need to go drink a headache tablet…. fokkie koppie is seer jong!
