Yep, looks terrible at the moment for anyone supporting die streeptruie
Go lions 😀
SA 116/3 chasing 200 – 96 opening partnership, then wheels fall off. 84 needed off 40 balls

The pitch so slow?
Very low score to chase
No try, was a forward pass, otherwise it would have been a Golden Lions bonus point before half an hour was gone!
@ Just For Kicks:
Sorry, see it’s a 20 over match, duh, lekker dom van my 😀
Very average rugby by WP – in fact so average, even the Lions are having problems playing their own gam. Yup, agree with Norts, could be a cricket score.
Big Lions scrum… almost a tighthead… but a Golden Lions scrum penalty anyway!

Isn’t Proudfoot leaving as well?

Yup, just 20 overs

Just got home from work so I already missed all the action… good game for a comeback this. Die leeus gaan le mos in die tweede helfte.

Not sure, heard he was going to head up a new scrum academy and then heard he was going with AC to Japan.
To be honest, I’m not sure myself, probably going to Japan, better money
Tryyyyyyyyyy Franco Mostert!
Bonus point!
Jaco Kriel is sooooooooo farking good!
Dang, missed it!

Nee wat, hier bliksem hulle vir ons stukkend.
Die feit dat ons soos Jannie Du Plessis tackle help ons ook nie juis nie

Proudfoot is already IN Japan…
I am not as “ëxperienced” as you okes, but if the Lions do not win the CC this year it will be one of the biggest CC chokes?
DeJongh e-mail handled off the line
WP 5m penalty…
… and a WP player, Chris Cloete, injured and helped off the field

Big in Japan?
Try WP, Notshe…. mauled over

Yep, I would think so, especially considering they will be playing their semi and the final at Ellis Park
Didn’t miss that one. Star of the comeback a little early. Thought they would leave it to well into the second half to give the Lions a chance!
Golden Lions 29 / 13 WP
@ Just For Kicks:
On the plus side, WP have no choice now but to try and run the ball and try and take on the Lions at their game. Let’s see what they have in them.
