Great try by the Sunwolves. Lions need to pull up their socks.
Lions 19 / 13 Sunwolves
Lions Free Kick… they opt to scrum
Crowd really getting behind their team.
Warwick with a vital turnover.
Lions relieving penalty, man over the ball and a Sunwolves player holding on.
But the Sunwolves are certainly throwing the ball around!
Helter-skelter stuff… but lekker rugby!
Tusi Pisi cops a Yellow Card…
Harold Vorster on for Howard Mnisi
Try Lionel Mapoe, Lions!
Beautiful try.
Lions replacement front row having some great carries.
Marx can also become a Bok legend.
Lions 26 / 12 Sunwolves
71 @ Scrumdown:
Yip!
Lions in bonus point territory again.
Eventually I think too little depth will take its toll on the Sunwolves as the season progresses.
Knock by the Lions, 12m out
Isnt it amazing that 3 years ago the Lions SR team had no sponsor.
Now sponsors are queing up to put their name on the jersey.
8 Minutes to go
I think the ref has had a decent game so far.
3 Minutes to go
77 @ Scrumdown:
So glad for the Lions… they could and should again become a power house of rugby in SA!
Lions have been good at forcing the scrum from the maul today
As the scores stand now, the Lions should win with a bonus point (3 tries more than the opposition)… of course the bonus point rules are different this year.
One last scrum for the Lions in an excellent position, 10m out
If potential for another try for the Lions
Time is up on the clock
Lions over… ruled held up!
Game over!
Mission accomplished for the Lions, full bag of points away from home.
Final Score: Sunwolves (6) 13 / 26 (12) Emirates Lions
Great win by the Lions but the Sunwolves were very game.
89 @ Lion4ever:
Yeah, the Sunwolves are very game… never say die attitude!
