Morne Steyn was ook toe by die Bulle, ek dink ook nie Marnitz het so goed soos nou gespeel nie.
Blues raak nou ‘spuls’,sou my ou vriend Joos op Springbok gese het,in sy Namakwa aksent!
Try Bryn Hall, Blues…. phweeew
These Blues players must score closer to the uprights
Lions 23 / 15 Blues
Leeus moet wakker word.
ek dink die stormers gaan groot bucks uithal om faf de klerk te koop
ag nee deon
Almost a try by Deon van Rensburg… was it a high or early tackle on him?
Was the last pass forward?
Vuilgat #8,gaan hy in met die elmboog…
to be fair that was a fantastic tackle
No forward pass ruled… now who did what in goal…
ons het so pas n vinnige 50mm in n half uur gehad water oral
Try awarded to the Lions!!
Coenie van Wyk, the scorer.
😮 this is a shocker
Poor decision IMO
But it’s wrong
A one hand ball carry cost Deon v Rensberg a sure try
Im speechless
Lions 30 / 15 Blues
En nog ‘n SA ref wat ons naam tottie maak.
Very contentious decision, that try… to say the least.
A good refereeing by Berry!
Between the Ref and the TMO, what a big buggerup….
Let there be no more crying by our players, coaches or spectators when our sides get shafted overseas
The way our refs are cheating the foreigners, we must rather be thankful they still come play here
17 Minutes to go in the match… 15 points the difference
I think if they had to look at the reply again it would have been a penalty try for a deliberate knock down.
If they had to look at it for a sixth time, it would have been a yellow card for Piutau.
If they looked at the replay again for a seventh time Piutau would have been called back and given another yellow card for a high tackle and thus a red card.
None of the Lions forwards were out of the 10m area of that kick… none!
Berry is BLIND to it!
Try Frank Halai, Blues
Halai is a machine.
