WP penalty, Greek goes for touch.
Less than 7 Minutes to go in the game.
Guess that the Golden Lions win is safe
Lions playing like Province have these last few weeks, rock solid defense, pressure and attack from turnover.
Full value for their win, played a great game tonight
Mark Richards a player for the future? Looks like he has what “it”
Armand van der Merwe almost through for another try…
Die Buksie impress my kwaai!
Lions playing like men possessed
Maybe we can still get in range of a losing bonus point?
Try Justin Geduld, WP… quickly converted by Geduld… drop
Golden Lions 35 / 26 WP
PW will get the try
WP scrum, 5m out
Time is up on the clock
Can PW at least salvage 1 point from this match?
WP penalty, right in front… they tap and go… stupid, should have taken the points
Try Michael Rhodes, WP
A simply unplayable burst by the Lions won the game.
Another great contest! (the 2 Tests and this game)
Final Score: Xerox Golden Lions (14) 35 / 33 (13) DHL Western Province
N halwe eier is seker beter as n lee dop?
Sien ek het toe Leeus met 2 gehad…gedog dit was 20.
So, darem n bonuspunt vir my ook…

Why did Rhodes to that, the bonus was safe by taking the gifted three points?
Nouja, ‘n lang dag en naweek se rugby verby!
Was goed gewees!
@ Pietman:
Michael Rhodes…

Skuif ek darem op van 71 na 69
The final score doesn’t really reflect the true game, Lions were better than Province in most facets, and deserved a bigger win.
Well done WP for fighting back to a bonus point.
Hope we have the loss out of our system now and can go back to how we played the first 5 weeks
@ grootblousmile:
Ja, goeie naweek, jammer van die Bokke net.
169 @ Pietman:
Great stuff
171 @ Pietman:
Yip!

Nee, ek bedoel hoekom het hy gegaan vir die drie? Die strafskop was mos verseker n bonuspunt.
