Goooooooooo Lions!!
Lions by 13.
Highlanders have been around the world and then some over the last 5 weeks. Travel and altitude a bridge too far.
Lions by 8 or 9 methinks.
Game ON!
Kick-Off by the Lions!
Good Lions backline running!!
Unfortunately the pass from Skosan to Ruan Combrinck going amiss… into touch.
Lions scrum penalty… good stuff!
Ruan Combrinck to goal from this long distance… 55m attempt!
Had the distance… easily!
Just missed to the left.
Tryyyyyyy Elton Jantjies, under the sticks!
Superb continuity by the Lions!
Lions 7 / 0 Highlanders
Tom Franklin off to the loonie bin, Joe Wheeler on.
I was just very, very rude to a representative of a political party phoning me… told them to Fuck Off and lose my number…
Jeeeeeez, they have been phoning almost every day now!
Have you guys also had these canvassing calls??
Landers kickable penalty…
Lions 7 / 3 Highlanders
@ grootblousmile:
Yip! I tell them exactly what I think about issues and political views – usually they hang up on me!
Lions penalty, smack bang in front… Jantjies easily slots it.

Nice kick by Lions 9
15 @ GoBokkeAndIreland:
Damn man… they are wasting my rugby time… hahaha
Tryyyyyyy Rohan Janse van Rensburg, Lions…. under the sticks!
We need him as Bok inside centre… he has come on in such leaps and bounds!!

Its actually quite fun to talk a whole bunch of kuk to them and waste their time.
Elliot Dixon loses the ball over the line for the Landers…. phweeeew!
Massive touchfinder by Ruan Combrinck….
Landers penalty, Combrinck holding on.
Missed to the right by Lima Sopoaga…
Lions scrum penalty….
Landers kickable penalty again… after a high bomb, taken by Skosan and then Naholo was all over the ball for the steal…
