Penalty against Elton Jantjies… deemed a deliberate knock.
Quickly taken to touch…
The Landers are chasing a bigggg deficit….
Lions defensive 5m penalty… they run it!!
Try Sopoaga??
TMO
That’s a good try….
Try is awarded…
Lions 35 / 16 Highlanders
13 Minutes to go… the Landers trail by 19 points.
Nerves are shot.
Can the visitors come back?
Landers pass out to touch inside their own 22….
70 @ Scrumdown:
It would take a superhuman effort to come back from a 19 point deficit in 11 minutes, if during the whole rest of the game you have only scored 16 points…
Think your Lions are perfectly safe… for now.
@ Scrumdown: @ 70
NO! NO! NO!
Naholo bundled out…
Lions must just not take risks… do the basics well… try to keep as much possession as possible…
Skosan must be the most improved player in SA.
Tryyyyyyyyy Lourens Erasmus, Lions!!
Lions are now playing with abandon… sevens style… showing skills…
Highlanders finished?
Lions 42 / 16 Highlanders
Try Waisake Naholo, Landers, behind the sticks.
Lions CANNOT get blasé now.
Lions 42 / 23 Highlanders
Lions have become such a patiend and composed side…
Less than 2 minutes to go in the game.
Last minute…
@ grootblousmile:
Im opening the red wine to celebrate!
Landers penalty… tap and go….
Another Landers penalty, quickly taken… not from the mark though…
Last Landers lineout, 5m out!
Try Joe Wheeler, Landers!
Time at last for a Captain, and also to dream.
Emirates Lions (17) 42 / 30 (6) Highlanders (Final Score)
Well done to the Lions… into the Final!
Only 2 teams remain… the cream of the crop!
Pity the Lions have to travel for the Final!
