Right, time to leave the office and start getting ready to get down to Ellis Park.
Looks like it’s going to be a miserably cold afternoon, so expect about 8000 – 10000 AT MOST at the game.
A bit like in Deben last nioght.
1 @ Scrumdown:
Fark, Kings Park had 8 to 10 people, not 8 000 to 10 000!
Hehehehe
So basically average attendance for the Lions then??
@ Stormersboy:
Bwahahaha. In a nutshell. YES.
Strange weather. On the East Rand overcast and quite cool.
Here at Ellis Park sunny with (so far) no cloud. A very light breeze and generally good conditions for football.
Pretty mild on the West Rand.
5 @ Scrumdown:
Weather not bad here in the Panne
5 @ grootblousmile:
If you were any further East you’d have to support the Pumas!
Youre nearly in Mozambique!
8 @ Scrumdown:
This is the Eastern East Rand, East!
The “massive” crowd slowly trickling in!
10 @ Scrumdown:
Where did those 3 people go and sit?
11 @ grootblousmile:
Behind the poles on the top tier.
Oh vlok. They’ve just disappeared.
12 @ Scrumdown:
Hehehe
Friend, best of luck for your team, they’ll be amped… but I recon the Staat is fielding a very strong side, so I’ve gone the Staat way on Bru.
Staat won the toss, and chose to bat first… hehehe
No really, they did win the toss and chose which way to play, so the Lions will kick off
@ grootblousmile:
I let my head rule my heart for a change, and also went FS on Superbru.
Won’t mind being wrong though, as I had “one against the head” last night when the peacock blues pulled through for me.
Still don’t think Venter is going to fit into the Sharks culture too well.
15 @ Scrumdown:
Fark, I had last night’s one wrong, went for the Sharks by 13.
Went for the Staat by 10… and then also went WP by 20…. eish
Cheetahs running out onto the pitch
15 @ Scrumdown:
Venter might fit in, he’s arrogant, they’re arrogant…
I just don’t think his daily schedule will fit in.
16 @ grootblousmile:
I had WP by a dozen or so and FS by 8 (I think).
FS on the field.
Lions coming out.
Lions running out
18 @ grootblousmile:
Prat of note IMHO.
I went for the staat too, based on their Super Rugby performance, but I don’t mind either way.
Game ON!
I see sick note vd Linde on the bench for the Lions.
Wonder if he’ll make 5 mins.
Lions 5m scrum.
Early Lions pressure, 5m scrum for the Lions
My Oupa Groetjie was the first president of the Vrystaat so I guess I will shout for them.
Lions scrum not the same without JC.
Lions 5m penalty… shot at goal it is
Boshoff for poles.
Over.
3/0 Lions.
Lions 3 / 0 Cheetahs
