Super Sareltjie kicks out directly, lineout way back, inside Staat half

Staat scrum… let’s see how the scrums go!

Think the Lions should have the upperhand here as well.

Pleasant surprise to see Puma around. Hope he hangs around for a while

Willie Britz does not protect the ball at the back of the scrum, Lions almost capitalize

Handling errors by both sides

Not such a good crowd in at all methinks, can’t be more than 18 000.

Lions penalty, a long range one by Combrinck

Winter is upon us here in Gautengeleng… it is becoming quite chilly this time of day, and when the sun goes down, it goes into the teens temperature wise!!

Staat relieving penalty… good touchfinder
42

grootblousmile on 25 April 2015 at 5:27 pm

Staat work their way into the Lions 22… good continuity by them now
43

grootblousmile on 25 April 2015 at 5:29 pm

5m out… 3m
44

grootblousmile on 25 April 2015 at 5:29 pm

Relieving Lions penalty, nicely over the ground ball by Jaco Kriel… Faf de Klerk with a quick tap and go….
45

Pietman on 25 April 2015 at 5:30 pm

Nee kyk, die Leeus mag maar verdedig!
46

grootblousmile on 25 April 2015 at 5:30 pm

Fark, both sides are giving the ball all air…

Try Cornal hendricks, Staat!

Great running rugby!
47

Pietman on 25 April 2015 at 5:31 pm

Maar n teenvoeter vir spoed soos daai in die oopveld is daar nie!
48

Just For Kicks on 25 April 2015 at 5:31 pm

Frenetic stuff, shame Jantjes couldn’t offload
49

grootblousmile on 25 April 2015 at 5:32 pm

Lions 7 / 7 Cheetahs
50

Pietman on 25 April 2015 at 5:32 pm

Shuffle up, we have a great game on our hands here gents!
51

grootblousmile on 25 April 2015 at 5:32 pm

Lions should play tight, they will monster the Staat if they do… but that is not in their nature.
52

MacroBull on 25 April 2015 at 5:33 pm

I called it earlier this week. Luons are going too try loosen the game up… Which will lead to them losing
53

grootblousmile on 25 April 2015 at 5:33 pm

Lions scrum on about the middle spot.

Freegin fast game, this one!
54

grootblousmile on 25 April 2015 at 5:34 pm

52 @ MacroBull:
Yip, you did call it.
55

grootblousmile on 25 April 2015 at 5:37 pm

Lions knock, as Harold Vorster cannot pick up an ugly ball on the feet…
56

grootblousmile on 25 April 2015 at 5:38 pm

The 1st half an hour has flown by, feels like 15 minutes…
57

grootblousmile on 25 April 2015 at 5:38 pm

Lions lineout, deeeep in their own 22.
58

grootblousmile on 25 April 2015 at 5:39 pm

Jantjies relieves the pressure… but the Lions get a penalty anyway for offside play.

Jantjies with a massive clearance.
59

grootblousmile on 25 April 2015 at 5:40 pm

Another Lions knock, as Boom Prinsloo harries the Lions player
60

grootblousmile on 25 April 2015 at 5:41 pm

I thought this would be a high-scoring game.
