Witkop misses.
7 point game. Oh donner.
7 Points it is, 9 Minutes to go.
Lions playing with 14 men
What a strange decision. No knock there.
Lions scrum, just outside the Kings 22
Arghh Franco, what a knock again
vd merwe passes to an imaginery friend, and then the Lions butcher the kick.
What odds a draw?
any Pakistani bookies in PE?
Ruan Combrinck kicks directly out
Oef, lelike fout daar.
Brilliant steal by the Lions… not kicked out by Jantjies
Techlenberg making himself felt.
Lions scrum… as the minutes tick to 5min left
Lions need to play in Kings 22.
Scrum penalty.
Lions scrum penalty… sands of time ticking
Marnitz Bosshoff on for jantjies
Boschoff on for Jantjies.
PE crowd suddenly quiet.
Pick and drives by the Lions
2 Minutes to go… drop attempt… missed
Drop not a sh1t option.
Use some time up, and should regain possession.
Des Fountain back on, back to 15 a side
Lions dropping like flies now.
Deon van Rensburg the next casualty off
Een ding is duidelik uit hierdie game – Jantjes lyk soos ‘n Stormer maar speel soos ‘n Leeu, hy moet vir sy loopbaan by Leeus bly.
1 minute left.
GREAT defence by the Lions.
That must be the ball game.
Lions hold the maul up, they get the scrum… could be the last act of the game
Leeus gaan nie ‘n span oorhê vir volgende week nie.
202 @ ben-die-bul:
Got to question what goes on in Cape Town.
Time is up, all the Lions need to do is win their own scrum
YEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAA.
Mission accomplished THIS WEEK.
