So, what do you think, fellas?
Sunwolves set pices not good, but they are willing to run the ball.
Lions still error-prone this early in the season, scrums strong… willing to swing the ball, but Elton Jantjies’ kicking at posts has really sucked so far.
Some great moves by Lions but handling and I’ll discipline is costing them. But it looks like Lions are starting to gell a bit at last.
2nd Half ON!
Immediate Lions penalty on their own 10m line, man played in the air.
Tryyyyyyyyyy Jaco Kriel!
Lions 19 / 6 Sunwolves
Great try by Jaco. That’s more like it. Bonus point try if the Japs don’t score a try.
Faf de Klerk could really become the next big Springbok scrummie… crisp fast sure service, nice snipe…
Lions penalty kicked out deep in the Sunwolves 22.
The pace of this game could test the early season fitness.
Another Lions penalty, way offside in on the side.
Sunwolves get a team warning.
43 @ grootblousmile:
All depends on who the new Bok coach is.
Lions opt to scrum, 8m out, middle of the pitch… attacking options both sides of the field
Lions scrum the penalty under the poles.
47 @ Scrumdown:
Yip… but to get the Springboks running and attacking game going, that should be the type of options going forward.
Another Lions scrum penalty… card coming soon, I can see it coming
Big Sunwolves scrum… wow… penalty to the Sunwolves
Sunwolves certainly willing…
13 phases but going nowhere.
Lions defence looks good and they get the scrum.
Couple of subs on for the Lions
Malcolm Marx on.
Sunwolves looking good.
Sunwolves penalty for a high tackle on halfway, far side of the field
Lions still very scrappy.
Try Shota Horie, Snwolves!
Good stuff!
