The Lions will be looking for another big scrum here on Tahs scrum ball…
@ grootblousmile:
no I was out checking out the Cape on my bike. Argus next week. But….I did see parts of the Landers/Saders game. And drew some conclusions from that. I tend to agree with you.
Tahs scrum holds… clearance is good.
Try Sylvian Mahuza, Lions!
Great attacking play!
now that was good rugby. Excellent in fact.
This Lions side can and does play some excellent rugga I have to say. Very enjoyable to watch.
Lions 48 / 29 Waratahs
13 Minutes to go in the match
I’m not playing Bru this year but, even at this stage of the contest, I’d battle to predict a scoreline. It is Sooo difficult. Who would have predicted a Sharks win for eg
7 Tries to 4 at the moment.
Lions penalty, sealing off.
there are some big names in this Tahs side. Not a bad performance by the Lions in that context.
Lions penalty… not back 10m… Jantjies pops it out to touch.
Tahs knock… Lions scrum on about the Tahs 22… grat attacking opportunity, both blind and on the open side…
102 @ Tassies:
Yeah, the Lions I recon should be the SA flagship side again this season.
Must say, the Stormers impressed last week against my lot…
Tahs relieving penalty, on their own 5.
Another Tahs penalty on the Tahs 22.
7 Minutes to go… Lions must not let slip of their bonus point now, by conceeding a Tahs try….
Arghhh there is the try, Gordon!
TMO to check a forward pass…
Oooo yes, that pass to Robinson was forward….
No try, forward pass!!
Lions penalty on Halfway…
OK, kick to the corner and play deeep in Tahs territory!!
TMO asked to check a no-arms tackle on Skosan…
Definately no arms as far as I am concerned…
No 23 of the Tahs, Nayaravoro!
Penalty only… they will go to the better penalty spot though!
Lions lineout, a couple of metres inside the Tahs 22.
Lions get their lineout…. they drive and maul…. they make ground… the maul is collapsed, another penalty…
Pop it into the corner, man!
5m Lineout… and so the time ticks off…
Try Malcolm Marx, Lions!
Bonus point now safe!
Lions 55 / 29 Waratahs
Lions want to run some more… they make oodles of ground, till Whiteley eventually knocks.. deep in Tahs half.
Just for the Tahs
Attachment:
Whiteley knocks again… eish Warren!
Try Israel Folau, Tahs… consolation!
