Lions hold a Bulls maul up, and get a turnover scrum
14 Minutes to go in the match
@ The_Young_Turk:The Goose looks like one of those players who would just slot into the Bok team. Looks like he has the right temperament. I think, bring the man in.
Bulls get a turnover scrum… nice position on the field to attack from
@ Pietman:
Lambie should be first in the queue with Jantjies on the bench and Goose as bench replacement.
Go-kart soek skoor…
Engelbrecht has had a very good game tonight
Goosen has to prove himself first, albeit a massive talent, both shoulders have been injured in the same season… we don’t want to sit with another perrenial sick-note
@ Pietman:
Goosen is the future of Springbok rugby.
@ Just For Kicks:
Don’t get me wrong. I am a great fan and have high hopes for the Goose. Already dreaming of the days when the Boks will have a complete flyhalf, but honestly we have unfortunately not seen enough of the youngster yet. It’s a tremendous pity he got injured when he did. Just at that crucial time when the season was hotting up!
Hougie replaced by Jano Vermaak
Penalty Lions, one their own side of their own 10m line…. good touchfinder
@ The_Young_Turk: Prodigious talent, but agree with your order of Lambie, Jantjies then Goosen
@ Loosehead:
Reminds me of Jonny Wilkinson at the beginning of his career.
Won’t it be a great thing if both our Saffer teams can go overseas and do the business. Imagine having 3 saffer teams in the semis. One can only dream….
Lions lineout penalty, Juandre playing the man in the air
7 Minutes to go in the match
Wat gat an mettie kinners? Nou wil Jantjies die haker bliksem!
Jantjies having a blinder too. Both in attack and defence
Jantjies!!!! daai outjie is wragtag nie bang nie….!!!
Jantjies over the line but held up… Lions go back to the penalty, right in front, 7m out… they opt to scrum
Lion heart showing his class tonight.
Ahhhh, penalty Bulls… and time to get out of their 22
@ The_Young_Turk:Sharks should easily win, Bulls will have to fight for it, but it is certainly a good possibility
Aagh flokkit Adriaanse!
3 Minutes to go, I guess the game is safe as houses
Yellow Card for Wors Greyling.
@ Just For Kicks:
Don’t know about the Sharks winning easily. Reds have been the form team in the latter stages. Would have picked the Sharks anytime against the Brumbies though.
Calvinianer en Citrusdaller wat mekaar wil moer….kom van skooldae af al saam…..
Stegmann steals a vital ball…. classic steal
