Demmit, I thought the game would be at Newlands, and because of the inclement weather down there I picked the Lions by 15 only for this one!
1 @ Pietman:
Piet,
I have picked Lions by 9 I think. It will not be a huge score like last week. WP are quite a good side. Think all the CC sides are close in strength. For that reason enjoying the CC a lot this year. Sure we have all lost players to Boks or injury or overseas, but with the players that we all have it is still a great Tourney.
Piet go to the SR two conference split thread and post what your thoughts are about it there boet. I would like to see your view on this. Thanks.
I wonder what effect the gale force wind that we are experiencing in Joburg at the moment will have on the game> I am sure it will be factor, the team who plays with the wind in the 1st half will have to build a healthy lead> Goal kicking may also be a lottery
@ Raggie:
Wind should die down by sundown, no? If so,then play with the wind the first half, if you win the toss. Ellis Park is a well enclosed stadium, though, should be ok.
Ja, Raggie, that will be a factor. Hope the Lions will take it easy.
@ Pietman:
I don’t know about the on field, but I know the smallest breeze becomes a gale force wind on the north stand, just above the big screen.
Helloooooooooo
The wind has died down here a lot in the East Rand, so I suspect the same has happened at Ellis Park.
Go LIONS!
Yip, looks dead calm, no wind at Ellis Park, after the virtual gale we had today
8 @ Loosehead:
Hello Loskoppie… I also say Gooooo Lions!
@ grootblousmile:
Good! Looking forward to this, Lions slowly becoming one of my favourite teams to watch. They are slowly developing into a CC chamion team, imho.
@ Pietman:
‘champion…’
WP side running onto the pitch
Teams out on the pitch.
Golden Lions also taking to the field now
Game ON!
Elton Jantjies kicks off
Willie Britz at lock, let’s see…and also important, how will Jantjies handle the pressure?
11 @ Pietman:
They’re not my favourite team, but after sitting out of Super Rugby in 2013 I wish them well.
Willie Britz monstered in the tackle by WP… WP steal the ball too
WP very close now… 6m out
De Allende bundled out, 5m out
Try Damian de Allende.
TMO
Sjoe, maar De Jongh is kookwater vanaand.
Try awarded, Kolbe was NOT out
WP 5 / 0 Golden Lions
U21s from earlier : Final score Blue Bulls 48/33 Leopards, quite a tough game, from what I could gather there were at least 3 blood bin substitutes in first half alone for the Blue Bulls
Kolbe, Gio, De Jong…potent!!!
Lions penalty, against Deon Fourie… quick tap…
It goes pear for the Lions though… Kolbe scores in the left hand corner
Kolbe is n ster! Flippit, die outjie is vinnig, laat dink my aan Breytie van ouds.
WP 12 / 0 Golden Lions
