Lions lineout, 5m out
Try Baywatch Grobbelaar
28 @ BullscotBok:Fortunately dam is north of Morreesburg – should be very warm there! It’s a good couple of hours from here.
Lions 8 / 0 Griquas
Water Break
Where’s that Italian Moegoe… Turkey?
29 @ grootblousmile:
Ok that will be good, I think the one area where we Blue Bulls can definetely gain then is at lock, should make a big difference, and I guess Hougie too but maybe he needs a rest and there probably isn’t as big a difference between him and whoever he would replace as there is between our two Bok locks and who they would replace. BUT we first got to qualify anyway.
Lions hard on attack again
Try Michael Rhodes
33 @ Just For Kicks:
Oh ok that would be good then, just thought you may have to go out in more than a very good wetsuit, perhaps a dry suit to stay warm. But these things are relative anyway, your cold surely not as cold as here.
Lions should give the kwas a good klap here, Kwas looking decidedly poor today
@ grootblousmile:
Some one called my name?
37 @ BullscotBok:
Kirchner might get a bit of a break, I understand his hip is not that well.
Locks should start, have not had that much game time.
Arno Botha will be back too… and starting
39 @ grootblousmile:
Great stuff come on Lions!
Lions 15 / 0 Griquas
42 @ The_Young_Turk:
OK, there you are, you old male whore…. hehehe
43 @ grootblousmile:
Ok didn’t know about Kirchener’s hip, but even if we wasn’t hurting he has played quite a bit so probably should be getting a bit of a break before end of year tour. Should he even be on today then if he is injured or is it just a minor niggle?
Wow, from that camera angle I thought Carmaker scored.
Try Kwas?
TMO
@ grootblousmile:
or as some people say, “a pussymagnet” 😉
47 @ BullscotBok:
Hurt his hip in that Adam Ashley-Cooper tackle, which saw Ashley-Cooper stretchered off.
Not too bad, bit bruised, I understand
33 @ Just For Kicks:
It must be somewhere at least in the mid to upper teens temperature wise there by you today, was around 10C with a 30km/hr wind blowing here so quite cold standing around the football field, may need to put the summer jacket away soon
Try awarded and converted.
Lions 15 / 7 Griquas
51 @ grootblousmile:
Of of course yes, at least it doesn’t sound too bad just maybe a few weeks of rest and then he should be good to go again.
50 @ The_Young_Turk:
You wish!!
Good to see Basson back to his best. Was always a fan of his…
53 @ grootblousmile:
No come on Lions you have to win and don’t conceed any bonus points
Penalty Kwas… and Brommer is down
56 @ The_Young_Turk:
Thats good to hear young man, there are quite a lot of folk out there in blogland that for some reason don’t rate Basson and I can’t understand why, his try scoring record speaks for itself.
Griquas face the Sharks next week in Deben… so this might be last chance saloon for them…
