Sharkie Robinson in the DSTV studio very, very complimentary of the Lions type of game!
Well said Sharkie… I like your unbiased commentary!
30 Minutes to go till the next game…
Some aspects of the Lions defence needs work… as they let in some easy tries with shoddy defence… but overall this is the type of game that South African sides should strive for!!
Gents time for me to go earn a shekle or two.
Catch up later for the Cheetahs game.

Well done Ellis Park boykies!!!
Great running rugby by the Lions. It’s been great to see Ackerman ‘ s team improving year by year. Hope they do well.
The Lions played the best style of Rugby by a SA Super Rugby side since the Sharks semi final run in 2012…. A well balanced side….that showed if you can get dominance at scrumtime and have a disciplined approach to the breakdown you should win…. but you have to use your backline…., which they did.
