Go Lions
Yeah – finally someone I can support with feeling – Go LIONS
Players out on the field
Game ON!
Is this game going to be any better, or perhaps, will we get some decent banter going?
Lions with early attack and looking good… only to give a penalty away, 5m out
5 @ Just For Kicks:
Certainly started well
1 St scrum…. and then the TV feed farks around
Tryyyyyyyyyyyy Michael Killian
Try time. Killian in
Lions 5 / 0 Force
My Bru pick was Force by 7
Penalty Force, too far out though
7@ grootblousmile: Does that mean we’re going to be subjected to more donkeys?
Go Lions.
Lions penalty, Force holding on, on the ground
Lions looking good…. wow… did I just say that?
Force steal the Lions ground ball
Penalty advantage Lions
Lions running some very nice lines
Easy Lions penalty
What was the white card for?
Lions 8 / 0 Force
22 @ Just For Kicks:
Fark knows!
Farce penalty… their own side of halfway
I so nearly went for the Lions on Bru, but felt that it was just one match too far on tour, I could be eating humble pie
Force does not manage to kick out…. then Jantjies almost knocks…
26 @ Just For Kicks:
Somehow I just think the Force can get better and the Lions can only get worse
Well, well, well, nothing changes for the Lions then. What a stupid throw in from Jantjies
Pat Celliers down injured
