  • 94

    Ooooo, BIG obstruction it is!

    Penalty Lions!

  • 95

    81 @ Pietman:
    I think Sias’ big year will be next year, this year there was no expectations from the Force, next year there will be higher standards set for the Force and then we will have to see how he has grown as a player, his failings at the Cheetahs came when he couldn’t live up to expectations.

  • 96

    This commentator is a knob, that obstruction was as clear as day… Fark knows why the Lions run it from their tryline with 35 minutes left.

    90 @ grootblousmile:

    97 @ Puma:

  • 102

    81 @ Pietman:
    Why would he really want to get 1 or 2 caps and always be number 3 or 4 in the pecking order.

    Another 18 months and who knows, maybe he pulls a gold jersey over his head.

  • 103

    Lions are now the kak team of old… eish!

  • 104

    @ Puma:
    @89 GBS is one of those lucky freaks who doesn’t pick up weight from indulging in the sweet stuff…eccinococcusism does have its advantages I guess…. Pondering

  • 106

    @ BrumbiesBoy:

    101 @ grootblousmile:

    Sometimes having family over is a lot nicer. Enjoy it boet and spoil her.

    As you spend a lot of time on this site and she seems very understanding and we all appreciate it as this is the best rugby site ever. The best managed as well. So tell her fromall of us happy birthday.

    @ MacroBull: Cheers bud.

  • 111

    I think Force only got the upper hand here when Lions were a man down.

  • 112

    Force penalty, Lions just cannot exit their own 22.

    Kicked into touch

  • 113

    Lions played their 40 minutes and now a 2nd half like last week?

    Eish.

    Do you think Sias would fit into Aussie rugby?

    I know you are going to say but he plays for the Force. The force though are essentially a team with 2012 Stormers defensive structures…with an exceptional fetcher and some good players on the counter.

    105 @ Pietman:

    He must have a different system to all of us… Hahaha. Lucky I don’t have a sweet tooth. So that stuff don’t worry me much.

  • 117

    116 @ Puma:
