Lions penalty advantage
Stern defence from the Wobblies
Wallabies penalty, quick tap by Genia
wat n drie!!!!
Genia the magician. What a try!!!!!!
Try Israel Folau.. what a turn-around
dammmmmmm ek verstaan nie hoe penalty adv verby gaan nie
Wallabies 7 / 0 Lions
Massive defense by the Wobblies and then the genius off Genia! Justin gets a hit at last to make it a 7 pointer. This is exciting stuff.
Wow, thats just put the pressure on the Lions. They know they have a match on their hands now!
67 @ smallies:
Janee, ek het ookie advantage gesien nie… maar nouja, die score is op die bord
There is simply nothing to match the atmosphere of a Lions series. The passion and commitment of the players is just so obvious.
Watching that try on the replay in slo-mo just shows how good it really was.
Hard game, no quarter given…
Bad knock by Cuthbert, Wallas scrum
Lions looking a bit rattled at the moment. Not thinking properly. A few poor decisions being made.
<b @ The_Young_Turk:
For sure!
Lily up and about. Good
Lions hold Ioane up, turnover scrum
hierdie manne maak mekaar seer!
@ Pietman:
When the Lions play, it’s WAR!
Some shocking and brilliant defence from the Lions. Just making it hard for themselves at the moment
78 @ Just For Kicks:
His eyes looking a bit big and wild…. hehehe
Penalty against McCabe, for offside
game vloei, min fluitjie..
Come on, let’s make this thread over 400, fellas!
I am most impressed with the Wobblies defense and commitment.
Wallas winning the breakdowns, check that fetcher HM, soos Brussouw…
Another Lions penalty… surely that lineout went beyond the 15?
Shot at goal for Halfpenny, who’s been good from the tee
