Saders steal the Lions lineout, deep inside the Lions 22…
63

Tassies on 23 July 2016 at 4:52 pm

Lions compared to Sharkies = light-years.
Extraordinary when you think about it, given from where they’ve come in recent years.
64

grootblousmile on 23 July 2016 at 4:53 pm

Again Whitelock steals the Lions lineout… on the Lions 22.

Crusaders doing what Crusaders do. Classy side.
67

grootblousmile on 23 July 2016 at 4:54 pm

Saders penalty, after 2 advantages played… easy shot at goal… and yes they are going for goal.
68

grootblousmile on 23 July 2016 at 4:55 pm

Belangrike stadium innie game hierdie….

grootblousmile on 23 July 2016 at 4:57 pm

Saders penalty, inside Saders territoty…
72

Tassies on 23 July 2016 at 4:57 pm

We’re not playing the W Force here or similar. It must always be remembered; we’re playing the Crusaders. Unquestionably the best team to have played in SR. Ever. We need to stay grounded. But so far so good.
73

grootblousmile on 23 July 2016 at 4:58 pm

Saders scrum, about 8m out I would say…
74

Scrumdown on 23 July 2016 at 4:58 pm

Nerves are finished already.
75

Tassies on 23 July 2016 at 4:59 pm

@ Pietman:
Enjoy Piet. But don’t get your hopes up with our team. Not the greatest side I’ve seen. Very average it must be said.

Lions hold the Saders up… Ref says ball was over the goal line at a stage… so it’s a 5m Saders scrum!
79

Tassies on 23 July 2016 at 5:01 pm

this is a BIG scrum
80

grootblousmile on 23 July 2016 at 5:01 pm

Tecklenburg makes a vital, vital steal… Lions penalty on their own 5.
81

Pietman on 23 July 2016 at 5:02 pm

Mooi man Tecklenburg!
82

Tassies on 23 July 2016 at 5:02 pm

that was a BIG save. That was looking very dangerous. well done Lions defence.
83

grootblousmile on 23 July 2016 at 5:04 pm

Saders playing in Lions territory now the whole time…

They are a clever side…
84

Tassies on 23 July 2016 at 5:06 pm

reminds me of Muizenberg. Wave after wave. Relentless.
85

Pietman on 23 July 2016 at 5:06 pm

Hells bells boys! Gelukkig is die bottelstoor net hier oorkant die huis….
86

grootblousmile on 23 July 2016 at 5:06 pm

Saders soooo dangerous…
87

grootblousmile on 23 July 2016 at 5:07 pm

Lions defence also very good, one MUST say!
88

Tassies on 23 July 2016 at 5:08 pm

Lions need to play some rugby in the opposition half for a change.
89

Pietman on 23 July 2016 at 5:08 pm

Tekkel….tekkel…tekkel
