31 @ GoBokkeAndIreland:
I am alternating between Vodka & Appletizer and Vodka & Orange Juice…
2nd Half ON!
@ grootblousmile:
@32
Good options those!
Reset Landers scrum…
This game isnt crap by any shot, but it just doesnt seem as exciting as this mornings game.
Big Lions scrum on the Lions loosehead side… scrum penalty to the Lions!
36 @ GoBokkeAndIreland:
This is a good game… all the vital elements fully present!
Lions 20 / 6 Highlanders
And as I say that – look at that try!
Tryyyyyyyy Courtnall Skosan, after a massive break by Jantjies!!
Jantjies is having a blinder!
Lions 25 / 6 Highlanders
Try Matt Faddes, Landers!
@ grootblousmile:
@38.
It’s not bad at all.
But I think maybe the recent NZ derbies have spoilt us. Their pace and skill levels are just something else!
Lions 25 / 11 Highlanders
Lions penalty, offside in front of the kicker… good opportunity for points… in front, inside the 22.
Lions 28 / 11 Highlanders
Tryyyyyyyy Jaco Kriel, Lions!
TMO
Try stands!!
Brilliant cross-kick by Jantjies, and the monster, Jaco Kriel brushes off attention and scores!
Lions 35 / 11 Highlanders
I think it’s overs cadovers for the Landers… 24 points difference… 24 minutes left to play!!
Lions 4 scores ahead!!!
@ grootblousmile:
Have to agree with that. So what time will the final be? Prob around 9 AM or so?
Howzit guys.
20 Minutes to go…
Wow. What a tackle by Kriel.
Howard Mnisi on for Rohan Janse van Rensburg and Akker van der Merwe on for Malcolm Marx!
Brilliant tackle by Jaco Kriel on Matt Faddes!
