Try Whitely…. Lions
Bonus point
149 @ grootblouBokJan:a decent fly half makes all the difference, hehehe
Good call ref, forward pass. No try
THAT was a forward pass…..
No try
Only 5 minutes to go
Try Mapoe… this time bonus point.
All from a kak Blue Bulls scrum
And this time it’s definite. eish, Bulls, poor, poor rugby
Pine not going to be happy with his consorts tonight!
Lions 32 / 23 Blue Bulls
Awsome kick. 2 minutes to play, and a 9 point hill to climb for the Bulls
Blue Bulls penalty… last chance to salvage some pride
Fouche should have gone for posts, I fear. Secure the bonus point
Another Blue Bulls penalty…. and they’ll take the shot at goal….
… but is there a punch?
No, the Bulls go for a scrum… eishhhhh, double eish
Risk, knowing the Bulls scrum at the moment
Knock….
Game Over
Very dumb rugby by the Bulls. SECURE the points first. Now they come away with nothing.
Final Score: MTN Golden Lions 32 / 23 Vodacom Blue Bulls
OK, I have to eat cake… eishhhh
Well done Lions, awesome second half, and some very good rugga. Well deserved win.
@ grootblouBokJan:Can’t wait till I can eat cake again – enjoy
Very disapointing to see this result not even a bonus point but congratulations Lions.
