    Lions knock, 10m out

  • 212

    If Berry was on the field he would have said that it wasn’t a knock on and found a way to award a try
    How we miss good old Stuart

    I only appreciate his genius when I am stupid enough to go and pick the Lions

    Now the Stormers must save some Saffa face against the Oz mob…
    not the same as beating the Kiwis, but it will ease the shame somewhat.

    18.47 @ Ben:Yup, its been a pretty dismal w/end for SA sport so far, but there’s still hope, the Stormers are up next!

    I suppose that knock on just about summed up the Lions evening. Well done Crusaders.

  • 230

    Watermeyer looks totally confused.
    Every time he drops the ball forward tonight he gets blown up for a knock, yet against the Blues Oom Stuart said it wasn’t a knock.
    He does look perplexed today

  • 231

    Nog net Stormers wat SA ‘n wen kan gee, Flaffie hul heelagter is uit, so daar is hoop?

  • 232

    At least the Cobras lifted the Sunfoil Trophy…

    You should, I think I have 4 points for the round so far, and if I remember correctly, I went for the Stormers, so I guess 4 is all I will be getting
