…and try time. Mostert. Bonus point in the bag
And the boytjie from Gansbaai gets the bonus try…
Great conversion by Combrinck. He’s certainly got his kicking boots on tonight, Hasn’t missed yet.

Ross cops a yellow for deliberate knock down
Refs card happy tonite.
This match has descended into a shambles. Not a good spectacle at all
Lions scrum in their own 22
95 @ Pietman:Yup, pretty dubious yellow that
…and that knock by Minnie just about sums the entire match up. Woeful!
Every time the Kings are on attack, it doesn’t matter where they are playing from, they end up giving away a penalty.
@ Just For Kicks:
Enjoy your pie and greetings to your luvly, time for me to start turning in. Flippin start of the work week on Sundays still something I dread, can’t get used to it.
Thx for the commenting and company, brave effort!
Cheers.
Lions with a driving maul from the line out
…over 22….
….and that should be a try to Smith, very poor defensive tackle. TMO
Looks good
Not given, held up. 5m Scrum to Lions
2 min and counting – I don’t know when last I wanted a match to end so badly!
…And try from drive over scrum. Minnie makes up for awful knock earlier
Combrinck keeps his 100% kicking record for the evening.

Thats it, folks, a bit of a damp squibbish end to an otherwise good weekend of rugby. Well done Lions, but I fear, against any other side in the CC, you may have come up short today, but luck was on your side.
Cheers all, catch up later
@ Just For Kicks:

And I took myself on an unscheduled trip through Waterkloof Ridge after Trademarx, some smart shacks behind those walls methinks! Decided to make a u-turn when I saw a sign saying ‘Delmas’!

All those Hansa’s messing with your GPS?
@ nortierd:
Knew I was heading in the wrong direction but was trying to avoid Sunnyside where al daai slegte vroumens rond sleep! Eventually found George Storrar Drive & took that to Eufees.

The Blue Light Brigade.
