The number 8 of the Brumbies is one moer of a monster and David Pocock might not be everyone’s cup of tea but he is one hell of a rugby player.
@ Stormersboy:
Unfortunately not. A Burger or Adri Geldenhuys would have sorted him out chop chop.

Not yet…he has been hiding and behaving so far…
What’s wrong with Pocock?
Die kombinasie van Brumbies wat goed speel, en ‘n ref wat nie die tuisspan bevoordeel soos ‘n goeie skelm aussie ref nie, gaan die Leeus die game kos.
Ons kan maar net hoop dat Peyper goed uitgetrap word deur oom Kevin halftyd, anders is dit verby met die Leeus.
@ robzim:
Pocock = JP Reeves
93 @ mikeybrass:
Yip, the Geldenhuyse are a wild bunch… hahaha
92: Pocock is nou een Brumbie wat nie sal omgee as die Leeus in die tweede helfte weer van agter af kom nie … veral nie as dit met mening is nie !

Goeie vergelyking… Pocock is net ‘n bietjie frisser weergawe van Rives.
Lions penalty, just on their own side of halfway, for obstruction

Kan nie sien dat Leeus hier gaan terugkom nie.
Brumbies verdedig baie goed.
Wat drink ons!
Ek het dop nodig!
Lyk of daar nie 1 SA span gaan wen die naweek nie!

You had me going there – I know about Jim Reeves, but JP Reeves …?
But then, Eureka! JP Rives 🙂
Pocock is a bit bigger & stronger than JP Rives, I think, although both are/were excellent opensiders
Ek was bekommerd oor die Stormers teen die Leeus op Nuweland….as hulle so gaan speel het ek nou n “stress” verniet gemors
Pocock bleeds less than Rives did 😆
@ Angostura:
Rives…thx Robzim!
Also Fergus Slattery and that other English flanker Balt or something….Hooper not far behind.
@ Angostura:
Kimberley Jim het nie geweet van rugby nie, glo ek!
This is looking like the first home loss in more than 12 games.
Surely not even Peyper can turn this one around?
Bliksem. Pocock maak die Lions mal.
Nou hoekom kon die Brumbies nie so goed gespeel het laasweek teen die verveligste span in wêreldrugby nie ?
😉

Slattery is the best opensider I have ever seen. He was just everywhere… another brilliant one was Josh Kronfelt..
There is no shame in the Lions losing to the Brumbies, whether away or even at home.
The Lions have already done SA rugby proud in 2015.
They should just go out there & give it their best shot.
Would be massive if the Lions could come back from this deficit!

yip, Slattery & Kronfeld are right up there with the best …
40 minute vir Leeus om nog in the wedloop te bly vir nr.1 op SA log.
2nd Half ON!
OK, 40 minutes of guts and passion needed!
