5m Penalty to the Lions…
Try CJ Stander, Lions!
They laboured that lineout drive a bit. Good forward try in the end.
@ grootblousmile:
Hope you good?
Im loving this weather here in the Cape of Storms!
Blues 5 / 7 Lions
34 @ GoBokkeAndIreland:
I hear there are storms indeed!!
Blues 20 year old flyhalf (brought on for Piers Francis who got called up to play for England) is having a bit of a tough time.
Scrum on the middle spot… Lions ball… picked up at the back by CJ Stander.
37 @ McLook:
Yeah, Perofeta is very, very green… for this level of rugby!
Lions scrum penalty, right in front, inside the Blues 22… easy shot at goal!
Blues 5 / 10 B & I Lions
10-5. Good start for the Lions.
Lions have forward dominance, it seems…
Lions dominating the collisions (but only just) so far.
Lions just stopped an attempted blues lineout drive. They (the lions) certainly man-up so far.
Blues penalty, 5m inside their own half…
Another Blues penalty, again 5m inside their half…
Great defensive pressure by lions due to fact that they dominate the collisions.
@ grootblousmile:
Dis n bietjie woes hier!
And I keep losing my wifi!
Tryyyyyy Rieko Ioane, Blues!
TMO to check for a huge offside by Parsons!
Never, ever onside… Lions penalty!
Hehehe lucky break for Biggar. He took a massive tackle; off for concussion break.
Penalty is inside the Blues 22… Lions opt to scrum!
Handbags!!
Blues penalty, 12m from their own line.
The Captains get a talking to…. for the handbags session!
Blues penalty from the lineout, not keeping the gap…
Handbags. Its all about bossing the collisions. Some delaying tactics at play. Causing frustration.
Heavy rain now pelting down…
Rain pissing down now.
Monsoon stuff in Auckland…
