As I said earlier this afternoon, he was NEVER in the picture to play.
Mind games from Ackerman.
90 @ Puma:
I see so… I sent you invites, but saw that you applied afresh anyway. Don’t you read mail from that account?
2nd Half ON!
Said earlier that this game will be close but Lions need to be close if they lose.
93 @ grootblousmile:
Yes do read it just never read it today though. Just saw you put it up here and went that way.
96 @ Puma:
No problem, you’re in anyway
Lions penalty, Jantjies with an OK’ish kick to touch
Lions on attack inside the Kings 22

92 @ Scrumdown:
Okay see he is injured. Pity as none of the other two scrumhalves are as good as Bondisio. Will he be available for next week or not? Hope Kriel will be, he would be a big loss if he can’t play.
Some staunch tackles
Anthony Volminck has speed and not much more
Kings have some nice abrasive loosies…
Lions penalty advantage… collapse and a side entry… penalty given
Baddddd miss by Jantjies
Lions with a decent maul and win the penalty.
Jantjies – misses. Looked like a slice.
Robbie Coetzee with a headbutt on Bandise Maku… he will be cited…
Kings Free Kick
Schoolboy error by the Marais.
Whyn a Kings scrum if the ref touched the ball?
Ai Bobby en Gavin, head ‘butt’ met ander woorde kop ‘stamp’, nie kop vryf of kop ‘kielie’ nie. Hou op kerm.
Kings turn to attack inside the Lions 22
Lions defensive scrum, inside their 22
Flip. Nerves are shot here.
Jantjies with a kak kick upfield….
Piss poor kick by Jantjies
Teams very evenly matched….
Whitely you biscuit.
Great turnover.
Lions penalty inside their 22… Warren Whiteley doing good work
Lions 5m scrum, SP Marais fluffed big time there
