Boland now leading 21-7 after 32 minutes
GBS, this doesn’t count as one of my losses to the Stormers in the prediction game ne
Lions penalty, very, very kickable.
181 @ nortierd:
No, it does not count
Cheetahs 10 / 9 Lions
Lemoenetyd
@ nortierd:
Interesting half. Who would have thought that Lions would be 1 point behind after 40min.
Phweeew
Time for a breather
Well never thought Lions would be only one point behind at half time.
@ Just For Kicks:
If you want to cause an upset the first game is a good time to do it… Rustiness and nerves…
Let me go fetch some more sletsappies from the house…
189 @ Gumboots:….and they way its going, it could be just that. But they way the game is going, it it the Staat who are losing it, not the Lions winning it.
Ring rusty all….. of them
191 @ Just For Kicks:
Yip Cheetahs making plenty errors but at the pace probably does happen.
@ Just For Kicks:
For sure! Mistakes at crucial times has affected the scoreline for the Cheets… I think the second half will be much tighter me thinks…
I think my Bru prediction was Cheetahs by 9
I see 27 guests… Register guys… the more the merrier…
@ grootblousmile:
Mine was similar I think… 7 or 9…

Tighter than a 1 point margin?
@ nortierd:
I meant the game will be tighter… they won’t be throwing the ball around like they did first half…
2nd Half ON!
If it is down to rustiness, then these two sides can be thankful they are playing each other in the opener! Pretty easy game for both sides – so far!
@ nortierd:
Have Boland hit the fifty mark yet?
Cheetahs lineout just outside the Lions 22…
Lions kick a ball dead, scrum all the way back
gaan die cheetahs panic?
Great kick-through by the Lions… Cheetahs lineout inside their own 22
The scrappiness continues
If Willie chips again I am going to shit in my pants.
Like the look of the Lions 9… Quite impressive…
….and its getting worse
