Lions 7 / 0 Sharks
Lions penalty on their own 22… not supporting body weight
Ag komaan , dit is hoekom ons skrums so farked is , die Refs het nie n clue nie en hulle vat die SKRUM weg uit ons spel. Moer man , gee n reset, rugby is tog oor skrum. Moet nie die belangrike deel uit die spel blaas nie. Verstaan tog mr Ref daar is twee kante van die saak.
Sharks penalty on about halfway, Butch kicks for touch
Try Riaan Viljoen, great try
Lions 7 / 7 Sharks
GBS almal het hier gevra waarom is ons skrums so swak dat elke jan rap ons daar klop. Ons refs is flippen uit voeling met die krum. Hulle is obsessed met n first time sukses. Reset maar n paar keer se ek
Sharks steal the Lions ground ball, and Butch James with an excellent touchfinder
37 @ superBul:
Jong, daai Lions skrum vir die penalty try was die regte roep
Sharks hard on attack, deeeep in the Lions 22.
Try Dale Chadwick
Louis Ludik playing bloody well at No 13
Sharks 14 / 7 Lions
What a kak kick by McWolkie
@ grootblousmile:
my probleem is dat die een span het 7 en die ander 8 spelers gehad. Refs moet dan maar dadelik n strafdrie gee voor hulle n geel kaart daar gee. Was die geel kaart werklik nodig? Daarna is dit eenvoudig die Lions het geweet die onervare ref gaan nie kompenseer vir die 7/8 skrum nie. Is dit wat die spel gaan wees?
Lions scrum, about 7m out from the Sharks line.
Hollenbach getting some attention
44 @ superBul:
Jy kan en MOET net speel wat voor jou is, Lions was slim om daai skrum te target.
Sharks get the Free Kick from the scrum… and a good touch, out on Halfway
OK , skrums kan maar verdwyn.
Sharks penalty on halfway…. Butch goes for touch.
Old man rickety knees, Butch james, has not lost his touch
Try Heimar Williams, Sharks!
Sharks doing bloody well…
Sharks 19 / 7 Lions
Scrum Lions, about 12m out.
Warwick Tecklenburg playing well for the Lions
Wiehahn Herbst off injured, young Allan Dell on
Sharks Free Kick from the scrum again, for the Sharks
Side entry, Sharks penalty on about the middle spot.
Riaan Viljoen goes for goal
Missed right
Maybe Ludik should stay at No 13
Sharks over the line, held up, scrum 5
Time for the Sharks scrum to pile on the pressure
