2Nd Half ON!
90 @ The_Young_Turk:I thought as much
Roodt still off for the Lions so must be concussed.
Let’s see what Britz can do.
Siya Collision!
Penalty adv Lions.
Easy shot at goal for the Lions…
Penalty in front.
Jantjies for poles.
Over, 14 / 10 Lions
Lions 14 / 10 WP
Duane Vermeulen, like the Goose, has a way to go before he is match fit again. Hasn’t impressed yet
Sooooooo static from WP when they pass down the line
Almost another try by Shadow… goes dead, 22 drop in
I suppose, though, that if they are all standing still when they pass down the line, there is no chance of a forward pass
103 @ Just For Kicks:
Hahahaha
Cafe Boy greases one along the ground and touch in goal so Lions scrum on halfway.
He’ll fit in well with the Kotch Squad.
Hallou hier, nou klaar gewerk.
Bietjie hoor hoe my slim rugby maters dink.
Lions stealing the ball at will now, what has happened to Province?
Verbrokkel Harris on for Kitskos
107 @ Just For Kicks:
They voted wrong…. hehehe
106 @ superbokspringJan:
weet nie van die andere nie, maar ek tel nie myself in die “slim” groep nie.
Welkom.
@ superbokspringJan:Hi Supers, sounds like you’ve had a more productive day than me!!!!
FFS. This is enough to give me heart palpatations.
Penalty WP. But why there?
WP penalty, 5m out… easy as pie
And the Judas’ go for poles.
@ Scrumdown:
Dankie, jy het immers nog die guts om met my te praat, RESPEK
\
Jantjes is vir my besig om in a great speler te ontwikkel. Composure is great en wragtag hy is nie boring nie.
@ grootblouBokJan:
Wat se jy NOU broer?
Kyk hoe tekkel Jantjies!
Lions 14 / 13 WP
117 @ Piet-Springbok-Jan:
Eish Pieta…. die knaap speel goed, jy nou happy?
@ superbokspringJan:
Agree there. He has talent and BMT and he seems like a tough bugger with plenty of guts.
