Frantic pace.
Is Bezuidenhout PISSED?
Man that was awesome!
Try Robert Ebersohn…
TMO
Ebersohn injures himself in the process
Must be a try. Awarded.
Wonderful finish by Ebersohn!
Try awarded
Cheetahs 5 / 3 Lions
Kick missed. 3/5 FS.
Fantastic play by the Staat!
With the Staat in this mood, the Lions might be in big trouble
Lions living on the “ragged edge”.
Tannie se liefie, Helberg, seems not to possess a kicking foot…
Lions penalty on about their own 22
42 @ grootblousmile:
Or a sidestep!
Or too much speed.
Or too many brain cells!
No 7 Staat collapsing the maul… that’s Lappies, of course
44 @ Scrumdown:
Bwahahaha
Boschoff puts the Lions back into the lead. 6/5
Lions 6 / 5 Cheetahs
The Lions have had a crap line out since about 1997.
Staat penalty, against Tecklenburg.
Super Sareltjie quite nuggety…
Cheetahs 8 / 6 Lions
FS Penalty.
6/8 FS.
FFS. The Lions have let about 4 balls bounce.
Are they scared of the flipping thing?
Lions lose their 100th line out of the season.
Caylib Oosthuizen has bad scrumming technique much like Dean Greyling… as if both of them want to scrum past the opponent in stead of right through him
FS Butcher an 8 man overlap.
Australia now 103 for 4.
Staat hard on attack… and then a little knock by Boom Prinsloo
55 @ grootblousmile:
Brute force, F all technique and total ignorance?
59 @ Scrumdown:
Yip, something like that
