Lions must’nt relent now….
@ Pietman:
Craigie het die laaste 10 minute die plot verloor jammer
Great Lions defence… bundled out
The Cheetahs stand a chance against the Landers next week as well, if the Landers play like this
Akker van der Merwe is a touch little buffel!
@ grootblousmile:
Brilliant substitution tactic by Ackers don’t you think?
I wonder when teams with dominant scrums will strategically start knocking the ball?
156 @ Pietman:
Was massive!
@ grootblousmile:
Akkers must just sort out his throwing in in the lineouts
Lions penalty, Akker jou rakker!

Hel, dit was nou lekker! Waar is Scrumdown?
Expensive loss for me this….hats off to the Lions, very good second half
@ Pietman:
haha as jy met Pollock wil vergelyk dan het Craig n uitstekende game gehad.
Nee wat die haaitjies mag maar oor die ref kla die week

Hoop maar Berry speel ook dieselfde game nou
Still got to like the lions, not because of their apparant exciting attacking rugby… but because of their fighting attitude.
Jaco MOTM…should have been last week also.
Even Naas tongue in cheek talking about certain “questionable” decisions against the Highlanders
Amazing performance from the Lions.
Never say die.
@ nortie:
Ja Berry is n bekende hometown ref… maar hyt ook die Sharks v Crusaders geblaas
I see the Blitzbokke won their game against Kenya too, 22 / 5
for the first time in a long time, it looked like altitude affected a kiwi team.
who was the last guy interviewed? looks like a genuinely awesome bloke, ross geldenhuys?

Was a touch and go,
Jantjies decided to run it alone last minute and turned the ball over, it could easily been a Landers try
Did you notice?
@ Hondo:
Fantastic Lions.
You guys bring a smile to my face.
These brumbies are really giving everything
DDA is having the worst game of the year, probably out of all the players in the tournament

Hi Pietman
Ek werk my dood die laaste mmand of so.
Het kans gehad on Eye of Africa gholfbaan te speel, so het by die huis gekom na so 20 min se speeltyd.
Nie kans gehad om laptop aan te sit nie.
Was nogal tevrede met 2de helfte se vertooning.
Gister weer soos hond gewerk. (Krag onderbreking vir 3 ure!)
