Lions totally rattled now…
47

Scrumdown on 12 March 2016 at 9:43 am

Lions not playing to their strengths.

Too much stamp kar rugby.

Landers defence too good for that shit.
48

grootblousmile on 12 March 2016 at 9:44 am

Lions will have to score soon if they are to stand a chance to turn this game around.

Try Malakai Fekitoa, Landers… exquisite running!
52

Scrumdown on 12 March 2016 at 9:48 am

Think I should go to work.

Lions suffering from last weeks exertions and the travel woes?

Changes aplenty.
55

grootblousmile on 12 March 2016 at 9:50 am

Lions sub their whole front row… and Ross Geldenhuys is on for the Landers at prop.
56

grootblousmile on 12 March 2016 at 9:51 am

Nothing going for the Lions, absolutely nothing!
57

Scrumdown on 12 March 2016 at 9:51 am

As good as the Lions were last week, so shite have they been this week so far.
58

grootblousmile on 12 March 2016 at 9:51 am

Landers squarely have the Lions measure…
59

grootblousmile on 12 March 2016 at 9:52 am

Landers now playing for territory…

20 Minutes to go, the deficit is a full 28 points.
60

grootblousmile on 12 March 2016 at 9:53 am

Landers steal the Lions lineout, in the Lions 22..

Drop goal by Lima Sopoaga… over!
