Penalty Lions. Kickable again. 54m out centre field.
Combrinck for poles again.
Short.
And now the rain starts.

Vark. Jonker has x-ray vision.
I owe I owe its off to work I go, enjoy the rest of the rugby all, sounds like this one is going to be a close tense one.
40 @ Bullscot:

Geez. Lions all fell to sleep.
Mapoe and Hollenbach down for the Lions.
TMO judges no try. 5m scrum WP.
Penalty WP. Lions backline offside. Poles by Catrikilis.

@ Scrumdown:

Penalty advantage Lions. Penalty given for collapsing.
Jantjies for poles.
Misses!!!!!!!!!!!!
46 @ superBul:
Seems that way.
Whats it red or yellow
Deon Fourie makes contact with the face of v Rensburg on the ground. Just a penalty????
IMO deserved a yellow. at least
not the right message sir, a yellow at least.
49 @ superBul:
Citing?
Missed AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jantjies not kicked one yet. 12 points missed.
the up and down life of SA no 10s, earlier this year we were bragging about Steyn, Goosen, Jantjies, Sias , Patric… now only one looks like a International , PATRIC. Can you believe it i am now also a believer.
“Lemoene”
54 @ superBul:
Morne a “shoe in” for EOYT no 10?
@ Scrumdown:
i really hope he get a REST from the man who said he must rested
Agree. He (and all of the country’s top players) have had 3 years of non-stop Rugby with very little recovery time.
The money makers at SANZAR and SARU demand their pound of flesh!
2nd half on.
Mapoe breaks through and then a little knock by Kriel.
