Lions are at their most dangerous in the second half….they do play for over 80 minutes, give them that

Argh, a Lions knock after a promising move

Harold Vorster is really good….one of the finds of the season imo….
73

grootblousmile on 9 May 2015 at 4:11 pm

Lions cleverly changed direction to avoid the drift defence, pity about the knock, hey!

Ruan Combrinck is vir my hulle beste agterspeler, voel amper of hy n hand gehad het in elke drie wat die leeus druk.
