Lions seem to have stepped it up a notch.
Or am just being over optemistic?
Can the Lions make this scrum count?
The Greek off injured… big potential match turner
Cafe boy off.
Eish, SP Marais het nie ‘n goeie game vanaand nie, was die hele seisoen baie goed.
Good Lions scrum.
Need to scrum again.
Strong Lions scrum and they get the penalty… options?
They opt for another scrum
Griek se skouer af, Bulle hoef hom nie meer te koop vir die CB nie.
Great decision by JC.
Now make it count.
bloupoppy, you must come talk to us here…
Got to give a yellow soon. Or a penalty try coming.
Again a massive Lions scrum… and another penalty.
Team warning for the Kings
Leeus moet pale toe gaan, net 4 punte in die game.
FAAAARRRRK
Lions very close… arghhh and they knock
132: ek bedoel 5
Kings defensive scrum, the Lions will look to put monster pressure on this scrum
@ grootblousmile:
Was the defender behind the last feet?
19 Minutes to go in the match
Uitklop wedstryd, vat jou punte !
Kings get their scrum ball… but do not manage to kick out
Lions don’t lookn after the ball in contact again.
Same sh1t, different year.
Kings penalty advantage and the pendulum swings again…
Kings penalty given
Kings go for touch, to do their trademark Lineout maul…
139 @ ben-die-bul:
Actually not strictly a knockout game.
All works on log points as per the normal season of SR.
Side entry, another penalty.
Evening Sports Fans!
I find myself shouting for the Kings tonight.
Lions defending the maul well but concede another penalty.
Gryp die bottel, Scrumdown!
146 @ Stormersboy:
We all have a “cross” to bear.
146 @ Stormersboy:
Hey, don’t call me a Sportsfan, call me a Rugby fan!
Flok!
