Piet van Zyl does not look so steady on his feet… and Davon Raubenheimer spills the ball… eish
Butch Brainfart with a good touchfinder
Butch looking good
Lions holds the Staat maul up, turnover scrum
Minnie doing the ‘Lions’ share of the work… pun intended
Listen folks, you donot undersrand the weather in Slaapstad. It is like summer in Scotland.
I will not be surprised if the WP game is abandoned
Lions penalty… close enough to go for goal I would think
Concussion Bin… first employment of it.
He has 5 minutes to be assessed now
Lions 3 / 0 Cheetahs, as Butch Brainfart slots the penalty
High tackle, didn’t look that bad, players get soft in gangstas paradise!
Rhule looks the real deal….
Penalty advantage to the Staat… and penalty given
36 @ Loosehead:Only during a heat wave!!!
Minnie, gives away the penalty, tackler not releasing
Better play by Cheetahs force numerous errors! Labuschagne looks a class act
Riaan True Blue Smit slots the penalty
Lions 3 / 3 Cheetahs
3-3
Very good take and try by Minnie
Try Minnie
Fukken hell.
Poor covering of the high ball, and Minnie trundles in for a great try! Bugger! cheetahs need to focus! Typical rugby betwixt these two teams.
Lions 10 / 3 Cheetahs
Poor defence by the Cheetahs, must be said
Staat always have these lapses which costs them dearly
@ grootblousmile:Good to see some new faces in ‘Bru
Backed the Cheetahs for this one…..lyk my ek gaan my g@t sien op Superbru hier
The Currie Cup isn’t won in August.
Cheetahs on the attack, but knocked on
Knock by the Staat as they go over the line… Rhule
Swak. Should have been a try.
