Sharks out on the park!
Lions now also out on the park.
Game ON!
Kick-Off by the Lions!
First scrum to the Lions, on the Sharks 22.
Lions penalty, playing the scrumhalf behind the ruck… kicked to touch and not to posts!
Lions 5m penalty, No 6 collapsing!
Lions with all the initial play…
Go the Guppies.
hullo GB/Cane.
The Gups are going to need your support I sense Caner. The Sharks are bigger and perhaps stronger than the Lions forwards but fall short of them in the skills department. We’ll see.
Lions scrum penalty, collapsing the scrum, against Thomas du Toit.

Hello Mainstay Cane!
9 @ Tassies:
Hello Tasse!
Boys, I recon the Lions should win this one comfortably!
Missed sitter by Elton Jantjies!
TMO calls out Etienne Oosthuizen for obstruction!
Penalty only… right out in front!
Lions 3 / 0 Sharks
Look accepting that my family often accuse me of failing in the memory department, I would venture that I have never seen a better Lions outfit than this one. They’re just consistently, phenomenally good.
Try Kobus van Wyk, Sharks!
good broken play try by Sharks. Lions were in chaos.
Lions 3 / 5 Sharks
@ grootblousmile: Middag GB. Don’t know about comfortably but I agree that they will probably be ahead by full-time.
@ Tassies:
I know they are a very very long shot Tassies.
But if they did win, then the Hurricanes will be coming home from Canberra for a Semi in Wellington.
Lions win……………………we are dead meat. Off to The Veld. Then if we did win against the odds, then its a long trip home to another really tough match possibly against the Crusaders.
So ………………………..its “Go the Sharks”.

Yeah, they are good… and air of 1994 to 1996 to these Lions… a la the Louis Luyt era!
Bosch is the next Jantjies. Watch this space.
@ grootblousmile:
High Groot.
I take it you are firmly in The Lions camp.
geez that was a long clearance. Think Esterhuizen was trying to kick it back down to Kings Park.
24 @ cane:
I am Cane!
I like their passion and their style of play!
Drop Goal by Curwin Bosch, Sharks…. overrrr!
Lions 3 / 8 Sharks
Sharks better make hay while they can because coach Ackers is bound to let the Lion out of the penn later.
Sharks penalty, just inside their own 22…
y @ Tassies:
Must have gone 75 metres . incredible.
