    Must say that the Lions surprised me today.

    I thought that they were dead and buried at 10 – 0. Their attitude seemed all wrong, but they pulled togethor and managed a good win against a quality side.

    Hats off th JC Janse van Rensburg. It takes some b@lls to decide to scrum after the hooter when one of your forwards is sitting in the sin bin.

    Tactilcally astute, or somewhat lucky?

    I’ll let the scoreboard decide.
