@ Just For Kicks:
Hello buddy….yea, looks like it. Only just started watching. Looks like the Lions are teaching the Sharks how to play atm
Were the Sharks much to over confident coming into this match? I think so.
@ Just For Kicks:
agreed….probably thought it would be a walk in the park
Advantage played for the Lions, and penalty given in front. Jantjies for posts
grrr….lost the feed
Die wedstryd verloop presies soos laasjaar s’n: Leeus was ook ver voor maar die Sharks het teruggekom om gelykop te speel. Gaan dit weer dieselfde wees ?
Lions 17/3 Sharks
36@ bdb:I think they will
Penalty Sharks, playing man in the air
Lambie sets up…….
Over.
Lions 17/6 Sharks
Goeie skop deur Bambie.
What the hell is happening! These farkin’ pussycats keeping their good performances to upset the contending saffa teams as usual.
I think the Beast does it on purpose
More gymnastics from the Beast
Sharks really under the kosh here. Lions line out 10m from Sharks line, but not straight. Wasted opportunity, and the reason why they won’t win
Sharks clear at last
Kyk, hierdie Leeus wil ‘n party spoiler wees.
Hellooooooooo!
Go Lions!
Missed all that, fetching wood for the fire – v cold here. Mapoe in
Lions 24/6 Sharks
lol….lions besig om die sharks stukkend te speel
I have no respect for this kind of performance. They do it every year. They bend over for the overseas teams and gift them 5 points and then they give their all to trip up the contending saffa sides. It’s almost as if they are an opposition plant!
Die Springbok agttal van die Sharks kry pakslae, daarom dat die Leeus op die voorvoet is.
How can the Lions look so different in 2 weeks. Could Butch really be the difference?
Oh dear, yellow for Sykes
Sharks returning to normal form, great one week, crap the next
Sharks now in deep deep shyte.
Op die oomblik word die Sharks in Redro verander. Hoop net die Leeus kan volhou. Lambie lyk terrible op heelagter…
Jantjies steps up to take the penalty. over.
Lions 27/6 Sharks
Hello from Fortress Loftus…. where it will be extremely pink!
