Players out on the field!
Conditions in Bloemfontein look good for rugby!
Game ON!
Kick-Off by the Lions!
Good continuity by the Cheetahs at the start…. over the Lions 22 now…
Lions get the 1st scrum put-in….
Scrum goes down… reset!
Apparently the field is still quite wet after the massive rains we have received here up-country…
Lions scrum penalty at the 2nd scrum for the Lions too… on their own 22.
Now the Lions attack with ball in hand…
Lots of free play… but the errors also creeping in from both sides…
Lions penalty, not releasing in the tackle… inside the Lions half… kicked to touch
Jeeeeez, it’s wet here in Gauteng!!
Still raining cats and dogs!
10 Minutes gone, still no score…
Another Lions penalty, not getting out of the tackle situation…
The Lions maul it up from the resulting lineout…. they are on the 22…. over the 22…
Lions penalty no 5 for the Lions, easy, easy shot at goal…
A Lions player down prone, Howard Mnisi….
Looks like Mnisi has done a knee…. a hyper-extension of the cruciate ligaments…. he is carried off!
Cheetahs 0 / 3 Lions
Cheetahs penalty, in front…. quick tap and go…. should have gone for posts….
Good contest between the sides at present.
Staat scrum just inside the Lions 10m line… reset scrum again.
Cheetahs scrum penalty, walking around by the Lions was the call.
Posts it is.
Cheetahs 3 / 3 Lions
Another kickable Cheetahs penalty, sealing off at the ruck.
Missed at the posts…. could bite the Cheetahs later!
Lions penalty, holding on whilst isolated… on the 22, in front…. but the Lions kick to the corner!
Lions penalty for offside, 5m out, right in front…. shot at goal for 3 definate points.
Cheetahs 3 / 6 Lions
Cheetahs penalty, no daylight after the tackle…
On about the 10m line, 5m or so from touch…. missed again.
Clinton Swart with a terrible knock from the Cheetahs….
