Lions players out on the field!
Blues players now taking to the field…
Make or break match for the Lions. They need to win and win well to release the pressure on coach and players.
Yip and they just have to haka.
Game ON!
Kick-Off by the B & I Lions!

Quick hello all hope you will see a better performance from the Lions today
Tryyyyyyyyy Rieko Ioane, Blues!!
WP Nel and Josh Strauss straight back from injury into the starting line up for Scotland against Italy in Singapore on Saturday. Hope they manage ok especially WP after his neck injury.
Interesting the different styles. Lions play stampkar rugby. Blues move the ball with kicks or long passes to the wings after smashing it up in channel two a few times.

Dit gaan goed dankie man…

Blues 5 / 0 B & I Lions
The game kicks off at 14.00 SA time on Saturday; the first match at this level in Singapore. Wonder how the players will handle the heat and humidity.

No try… great tackle… foot just out!
Blues lineout penalty, backline offside!

Hello GB&I!
Lions penalty, on the Blues 22… easy shot but they kick for touch!
Penalty advantage on the maul… collapsing!
