14 Minutes left to play… to continue the slaughter…
Sylvian Mahuza on… Elton Jantjies subbed.
Jaco van der Walt should now move into the flyhalf berth…
Lions get within 5m… then a Blues penalty… a relieving one for the sorry Blues!
Elton Jantjies’ one leg is HEAVILY strapped… looks like the elastoplast man!!
Blues going nowhere… in a hurry!
Akker van der Merwe rips the ball and the Angry Warthog sets off by bumping 2 players off…. hahaha
Blues scrum, 8 minutes to go in the game.
Howard Mnisi on as a sub, for Rohan Janse van Rensburg.
I’ve really enjoyed this game…
Blues making ground, after playing well behind the advantage line for a bit…
Try Joe Edwards, Blues!
Lions 38 / 5 Blues
So, not a whitewash after all!
4 Minutes to play in the game…
Lions clear their lines… after a bit of hesitation…
Hat trick try for Lionel Mapoe… sensational by the Lions team!!
Final Score: Emirates Lions (19) 43 / 5 (0) Blues
Well done Lions, well done!
Next game is at 22:40 SA Time…. Los Jaguares vs Cell C Sharks, from Vélez Sarsfield, Buenos Aires…
That is an hour and 40 minutes away…. hahaha
So, who would YOU give Man Of the Match to?
Elton Jantjies?
Lionel Mapoe?
Jaco Kriel?
See you in a while….
Lionel Mapoe gets the Man Of The Match award!
Hmm. Time to breathe again.
Excellent all round squad performance with EVERY Lions player contributing.
That said, the Blues were shocking in conditions that really should have suited then better.
