Jantjies misses from the sideline.
Cheetahs 27 / 24 Lions
It’s Side Show Bob!!!
😀
I don’t understand the Lions playing philosophy.
When they should pass, they take the contact, and when it’s better to take the contact they try something stupid.
153 @ Stormersboy:
Fark, he’s muuuuuch uglier than Sideshow Bob!
@ grootblousmile:
I’m sure his mother loves him 🙂
13 Minutes to go… only 3 points in it.
Cheetahs kickable penalty… Watts for goal
Cheetahs 30 / 24 Lions
Lions penalty, in front of the kicker.
Jantjies goes for touch
Another Lions penalty, 5m out… quick tap
Try Dreyer, Lions!
Try Dreyer.
Difficult kick to put the home side ahead.
Lions certainly seem to wake up when their backs are to the wall!
Cheetahs 30 / 29 Lions
Missed his little chip.
Anyone’s game.
Just about 8 minutes to go, anybody’s game…
My Bru not looking too good
EJ’s kicking technique looking a bit iffy
163 @ Just For Kicks:
Too Farking late by then most of the time.
FS hooker cocks it up!
Lost by Des Fountain
And the Lions spill the pill at a crucial time again.
Some wounded soldiers on the battleground
167 @ Just For Kicks:
Mountain Goats screwed him up!
This one’s going to the wire
171 @ grootblousmile:
Unfit bunch of good for nothings!
Arggghhhhh Wian du Preez knocks, 5m out
Vark. They should publicly behead any tight forward who pops up in a backline and butchers a try scoring opportunity.
Less than 5 min to go….
Lions at the wrong end of the pitch with 4m on the clock.
Solid Staat defence… Lions running from their goal line… nothing new
FS stuff up another line out.
