Lions need some points on the board
Wallabies 7 / 3 Lions
Why can’t the Boks emulate the Wobblies at the breakdowns?
Try George North… brilliant solo effort
@ The_Young_Turk:
@93 Because Van Graan is the coach.
AWESOMEEEEEE!!!!! Mister North, you BEEEEEAUUUTY!
Oh North, that was just imperious!
Lions 10 / 7 Wallabies
n Regte Pollard skop van Barnes, en George North straf hom!
Was about to say that at the moment, it is Genia against the Lions, and if the Lions can just nullify him a bit, they would be able to open up the game………..
Wow, we’re seeing great rugby here….
Wie moet mens kies tussen die BI Leeus en die Wallabies ?
Nie een van die poepholle nie, so maklik soos dit !
Mens kies mos nie vir Zuma of Mugabe nie !
Great kicking game by the Lions now… forces Genia to just run out, attacking lineout
Dis mos nou RUGBY, die! Moerse lekker game for us rugby lovers.
Lions looking goooooooood!
Advantage Lions… coming in on the side.
Another try George North?
TMO
YEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAA. The power of North. TMO
Lions het goeie vleuels, veral North, hy is besig om die ouens van die South pak te gee.
Looks good to me
That is a try!
North is pretty strong, hey!
Dang, short
Maybe the left elbow was out….
No try, they go back for the penalty on the 5
Amazing how the Lions have targeted Genia in a totally different way, and subdued him. Changed the game completely
Very, very close there for the Lions. They seem to be slowly starting to overpower the Wobblies.
It will be a shot at goal.
Aussie commentators moaning like an old bitch…. it’s a Test, you tools!
Lions 13 / 7 Wallabies
North bedrieglik sterk.
3 Points better than nothing. Lions extend their lead bit by bit
Nie goeie besluit daar deur Genia nie, verkeerde kant toe gegaan.
