Dare not tempt fate.
Relieving Lions 22m drop… Scrumdown can breathe!
Touch Judge flag…. not much in it
@ Scrumdown:
😀
I find myself cheering for the underdog tonight.
Manne, los die uppies vir Morne.
Try Lions!
Boem!
TRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hanekom again…
Peyper having a bit of a nightmare.
Jinne Bobby Stinkgat is a pons!
Superb pass by Elton that got them over for a try there.
Come on Lions!
@ grootblousmile:

Lions 26 / 14 Kings
154 @ Stormersboy:
Lions the favourites?
I had it 50/50.
12 Minutes to go, the difference is 12
160 @ grootblousmile:
You can say that a thousand times again and I will agree with you every time.
159 @ Scrumdown:
Peyper has had plenty rubbish games this year. I simply do not rate him.
160 @ grootblousmile:
Thank goodness you said it.
If I did I’d be accused of being biased.
If the Kings score soon, the game is on again
Stokkies slaan weer toe, Bobby gee al sy speelgoed uit die pram. Hy gooi sommer sy pram ook om, by die venster uit.
Niks fout met die uitgee nie.
Yellow for Dylan Des Fountain
Yellow for des Fountain.
Now it gets interesting.
Kings penalty right in front but they go for touch
169: gee = gooi.
5m Lineout… nou gaan die poppe dans
Bob Skinstadt is a bit of a “merchant banker” but he is right this time. Peyper should have been consistent in going upstairs, on 3 or 4 occasions where he has been shown to be wrong now.
I was saying to my mate before the game that I didn’t mind who won, but that I hoped that the ref wouldn’t be the one to decide the game and rather the players.
The ramifications of getting something wrong warrant a conservative approach.
On of the reasons that I find myself rooting for the Kings is because from my viewpoint the Kings have been hard done by on numerous occasions.
Try Steven Sykes…
Thank goodness my teeth are blunt and my nails flipping short.
Try Sykes.
Game on now.
Lions defence K@K AGAIN.
Lions 26 / 19 Kings
Game on, goeie drie deur die Kings. Leeus sal moet speel die laaste 10 minute.
