Try Rohan Janse van Rensburg, Lions!
About flipping time.
Highlanders 34 / 8 Lions
Landers penalty on halfway… off their feet.
I REALLY do not understand why Ruan Ackermann is in this team.
65 @ Scrumdown:
Coach’s son… hahaha
Lions scrum penalty…
11 Minutes to play in the game
Lions have been handed a Rugby lesson by the defending SR Champions today.
Back to earth with a dead cat bounce.
Combrink the only Lion to have had a decent game imo.
Good Lions phase play… and they eventually get a penalty, 8m out… centre field… they opt to scrum
Outscrummed all day but then opt for one?
WTF?
69 @ Scrumdown:
THUD!
Scrum again.
Lions Free Kick, 5m out… they opt to scrum again…. right in front of the posts.
Lions Monstered again and fuck it up totally.
Lions penalty, kicked out midway in the Landers 22.
Try Ruan Ackermann, Lions!
There’s your answer, Mr Kempies!
Hahaha
Now we are totally fucked as the coach’s laatjie scores.
Highlanders 34 / 15 Lions
@ grootblousmile:
You want to tell me he is the 2nd best open side flank in the province?
Bolloks.
Handbags… and Ruan Ackermann involved… the apple certainly does not fall far from the tree… hahaha
At least we NEVER gave up trying.
81 @ Scrumdown:
Nah, I agree with you… might be good in a year or 2, but not yet!
Lions over… held up!
Game over!
Held up over the line.
Disappointed but realistic.
Lions defeated by a streetwise Highlanders side.
Cheers all.
Have a potential life defining meeting at 11.
Final Score: Highlanders (10) 34 / 15 (3) Emirates Lions
At least the Lions kept the Highlanders away from a try bonus point.
87 @ Scrumdown:
Tjorts!
You and the wife meeting?
