Penalty against Kitskos… hand on the ground at the scrum

59 @ MaakieSharksAlmalBokkeseJan:
Yip, I know about the 2 changes to the bench, but thanks
Lions give the penalty away when on attack. Good job JM isn’t there to shit all over them at halftime.
60 @ The_Young_Turk:At least I know then, you’ll never support the Bulls then! Hahaha
0/21 BB 17 Cheetahs 13, halftyd.

Some bad news
Oh vlok. Berry butchered that desicion somewhat.
Roodt took a big hit in centre field then Berry called them back for the scrum AFTER the Lions passed the ball to a WP player who was away.
Ah well. such is the nature of the beast.
Roodt to the “concussion bin”. Willie Britz on.
@ grootblouBokJan:
OK wasnt sure boet,
Lions turn it over.
Lions penalty and THIS TIME POLES.
WTF. How are decisions made?
Lions 11 / 10 WP
11-10 lions
Yup, Lions take the lead
Coetzee beindruk.
Goeie skop Janneman.
Over. 11/10 Lions
76: Over ? is nog nie eers halftyd nie ?
Looks to me like WP have taken their sleeping pills before half time, this time
78 @ Just For Kicks:
Hehehe
@ MaakieSharksAlmalBokkeseJan:
Interesting, no mention of it on CNN
Lemoenetyd… and in my case, Borreltyd!
Not convincing rugby by a long shot
Vark me the Lions ghave had some dodgy line outs.
Thank goodness WP aren’t contending.
Lions up marginally at the break, but then so were they last week!
@ Just For Kicks:
Hee hee! No, I actually like the Pink Bovines. In my youth there was the great NTvL vs WP rivalry but as I got older I stopped buying into that sort of thinking. The mindset where black is black and white is white and there is no shades of grey. If you are not with us, you must be against us just doesn’t make sense to me.
77 @ bidibidi-jan:
Ja di’s mos die eerste helfte wat “over is”, ne’s die Leeus se Super Rugby geskiedenis!
67 @ MaakieSharksAlmalBokkeseJan:Seems a very strange article when you read this bit-
‘An American Airlines spokesman said tonight that the aircraft had had a maintenance check only the day before the crash. Its last major maintenance overhaul had been on December 9 1999, and the next was due in July 2002.’
….and I don’t think Guiliani is mayor – could be wrong. Will check
As I thought, Michael Bloomberg is. Article does seem wrong
@ Just For Kicks:
Ja someone at the Telegraph is going to get his @ss in a sling over this, it doesnt sound legit IMO.
@ Just For Kicks:
It’s an old article from over 10 years ago!
