Both?
Lions botched it there.
Lots of chances, pity about the fat boys in the backline
Erasmus falls over his feet with the line open.
Sharks manage to get Coetzee over the touch line.
Hmm. Apologies Erasmus.
Tripped by vd Walt.

Not too many fatties in the teams anymore.
Let’s just say the “big lads with low numbers”.
Erasmus makes amends and scores under the poles.
72 @ Scrumdown:
True
Erasmus makes up for the trip and fall of just now
Ireland 10-0 Canada
20 minutes gone
Lions lead 19 / 6 with 20 left.
Sharks don’t look up for it.
Claasens on for Reinach.
Kriel rips it away from the Sharks on the ground and another Sharks attack comes to nought.
And then the Sharks kick it out on the full.
Lions line out 25 out from the Sharks goal line.
Another penalty advantage to the Lions.
Wow.
Great score by Skosaan. Under the poles.
Skosaan makes up for the earlier dropped pass
Vark me.
Kwagga Smith is damn strong for his size.
Mnisi makes a try saving tackle on Sithole.
Kriel off for de Witt on the Lions side, and Lusaseni also on.
Uncontested scrums must be the biggest abomination in Rugby Union!
Geez.
Esterhuizen knock a sitter.
Sharks just don’t seem interested at crucial times.
Messy passage of play.
Lions scrum 3m inside Sharks half. 20m from the far touch line.

Either poorly coached or poorly directed, but either way I can’t see Gold staying there too long
And the Lions lose it forward again. de Witt this time.
Ross Cronje replaced by jaco vd Walt for the Lions.
And the Sharks knock it again on attack.
