Looks like the last pass was forward…. forward from Ebersohn ruled
No try
Penalty Lions… over
Lions 30 / 16 Cheetahs
Sies on for Matewissie
hallou all , Bulle mooi ophul herrie gekry
Skinstad tries to justify how that ball went forward in that try effort by the Cheetahs. But if the players are running forward, and pass behind them, the ball will still move forward in relation to the ground. Therefore his theory is flawed, and there is no way that pass could be ruled forward from the 2 camera angles that we saw. That try should have been given
@ superBul:Hi Supers
cheetahs is besig om die game solidley weg te gooi
Lions 33 / 16 Cheetahs
Cheetahs trying manfully now but the Lions defence holding well
Try Staat… Marcel van der Merwe again
Good try Cheetahs, but ref really spoiling this game now
Lions 33 / 23 Cheetahs
Pedantic, pedantic, pedantic. A good game really being spoilt by the constant whistle blowing. Very sad
What was that for?
@ grootblousmile:
Got your mail thanks. No hurry, whenever you’re ready you can mail it to me. My old comp that I’m working on now is a bit slow and had difficulty downloading the BBerry pics…
Bondisio with a daft kick
Good try Combrink
Bonus point Lions… try for Ruan Combrinck again
And with that try, the Lions seal an unlikely win given the possessions stats.
Lions 38 / 23 Cheetahs
Never expected the Lions to play so well after the Straus news. Elton again had a masterful game. Has Elton slready got a Bok cap? In other words is he still eligible to play for another country?
Less than a minute left….
Cheetahs remain a tough team to support. My sympathies Smallies and Cheetah4ever.
Rhule really has a beautiful, smooth running style.
Lions need to keep this out, for my Bru. Come on lads
Try Daniller… consolation.
TMO
Dang. As I say that, Daniller gets in. Oh well..
Sies pass forward?
Pass was indeed forward…
