    Last week we were scathing here on R-T about the 2 reffing performances, but today I think Berry got it mostly right… Reds deserved their Cards!

    Well done Lions, now gooo Bulls!

  • 344

    In reality the Lions could have made life much easier for themselves if they had kicked the points on offer.

    Boshoff never looked like missing.

    Well done Lions. I didn’t thought they’ve got a change for 3 quarters of the game..

    hy is crap

  • 350

    Lions getting a standing ovation from the crowd.

  • 351

    I just wish the cash strapped Lions could have brought back Josh Strauss and Rhodes
    And shipped Jantjies to the Stormers, free of charge
    Well done the Lions, somehow they showed again that the sum of their fractions is bigger than the integer, as crazy as it sounds!

    Moving over… gooi mielies… BULLE

    Crap I can handle, blatantly biased and cheat, that’s a different matter

  • 355

    @Pietman, yes, the Reds will feel hard done by and they will get the calls to make up for what happened today and last week

  • 356

    those trying to justify Berrys performance should go back to watching soccer.

    as a neutral his last two performances have pushed the notion that SA is the land of hometown reffing, ever was it thus

    Id be embarrassed if I was SA after watching todays “spectacle”

    338 @ grootblousmile:
    I thought he missed a lot of infringements by the Reds.

    Was certainly better than last week.

    Anyway. Cheers all. Got an early tee off tomorrow in Suspensionville. (Springs)

    @ nga puhi:
    It is you too… Hehehe

  • 359

    this ref clearly wants to get sacked. The line out wasn’t even straight and the lions get a penalty for their hooker standing up in the scrum? what a joke.

    @ MacroBull:
    We shall address that one in time too
    but yes, Whitley seemed a far fitter N0 8 than Fattie Vermeulen is, etc
    Ditto Derrick Minnie, remember the 1995 Cup was won at Ellis with 9 Lions players and a 13 Altitude based in total!
