He might have gone over the dead ball line…
Fokkit….druk die bal man! Eishhhh…
Try was just, just scored… and awarded.
Already looking better with the 2 replacements on!
that is so lucky haha… very good try though!
Highlanders 20 / 10 Lions
Okaaaay….nog 7 punte asb!
2 borderline forward passes in that move not looked at
Lions penalty just outside their own 22… kicked for touch
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

Jy ook Landers met 3 gegaan? 😉
Harold Vorster is really good….one of the finds of the season imo….
Lions cleverly changed direction to avoid the drift defence, pity about the knock, hey!
