Stain slots another penalty
Morne !
Banana’s
Lions 16/22 Bulls
And Stain seems to have got his kicking rhythm back.
90: OK, sy skopvoet baie beter, hopelik sal dit die res van sy spel positief beinvloed.
bulls mooi truggekom innie game en daai laaste skop van Morne was brilliant.
Lyk goed virrie Glued Bulls supporters hie..
Bools supporters can breathe a little easier at halftime. Looks like Lions are going to let them have this one after all.
Game nog lank nie verby nie.
2nd half underway
Penalty Lions, off sides. Kickable,
Butch slots it.
Lions 19/22 Bulls
Jantjies on, yeah baby! Bring on Franco and Jacobi too, and Lions will chew some blue steaks here tonite!
great game this…
Butch nails an easy one. Where’s Smiles now, I told him we’d see Jantjies today.
@ Pietman:
Ciao ole tattoo toppie!
Lions game turned on it’s head with Jantjies at pivot
Bulls manage to steal ball on their own line. Good work to keep the Lions out.
Damn, dis kookwater rugby deurie Leeus!
Wonder of my Bulletjies weet 3 punte is maar min ?
Another penalty Lions, and kickable again.
Joubert, ons beste ref ooit.
Over.
Lions 22/22 Bulls
Hmmm … lekker game om te kyk … veral asse outsider … 🙂
Butch hou an oorskop…level pegging.
And HM rates Stain above Jantjies. Imagine if the Boks had played Jantjies in all of the RC. I dare say that we may have had a bit more than 2 wins out of 6.
@ The_Young_Turk:
Jisjis jongman, hoe hang die belle?
I risked my life getting back for this one, nearly destroyed a few camel drivers on the way…..but it is a lekka game this, Lions on a roll this year, good to see.
Very good try Vermaak. TMO for forward pass
Try awarded
Why does Sideshow run 30 meters then kick an aimless uppie?
Pragtige drie deur Bulle.
@ fender:
Leeuwens always exciting to watch!!
