Go Lions!!!!
Some interesting match ups here. Stokkies vs Ludik. Williams vs Hollenbach. Minnie vs Deysel, Tecklenburg vs Daniel and Boshoff vs James.
This is a mouth watering clash, especially for us Lions fans, as this will be the first real test for us since the Bulls game so long ago.
1 @ Lion4ever:
Go Sharks!
Actually wont be too upset if my Sharks lose here, just really want to see a great game of rugby from both sides. Just pleased Sharks sent a good side to make a great game of it for both sides. Will be interesting for me to see how Ludik goes at 13 and also when we bring on some of our bench players. Also looking forward to seeing how Tera goes again. He was superb in his only starting game in S15 against the Chiefs.
Enjoy the rugby bud. Think it should be a cracking game.
@ Puma:
Thanks Puma. I am looking forward to a great game tonight. This will give us a good indication of whether we are in with a shout in the promo games. I think the Lions will have what it takes, but until we get there we won’t really know.
I have developed a liking for Stokkies, just dig the chap, hope he has a great game.
Same with Volmink, he can go all the way but needs to be tested against stronger opposition
Lions are strong enough to take this one
Sharks might be a bit rusty, they are up against a well drilled and motivated side, but they should just have the edge in this game with all those experienced Boks in the side.
@ Gena_ZA:
Stokkies was great at Maties and WP Vodacom, a gamebreaker this oke, very good rugby brain and ball skills.
