@ cane:
there is a bit of logic on that table Caner. I’ve done that trip and it ain’t lekker(as we say in these parts).
Good game here ….both Teams playing with intent.
I can see the Lions make it past a semi and doing well in a Final… but for the life of me I cannot see the Sharks do the same, so for SA interests I also believe it is better for the Lions to win here today!
Hard game… and a good one at the same time!
a bit of Mark Knofler over the PA system. Pure class stadium management.
Yesterday we saw the Brumbies initially doing well, but then the Hurricanes prevailed…
Lions scrum penalty again and again it goes against Thomas du Toit… hinging!
Posts it is.
Again Jantjies misses the relative sitter!!
my goodness; now its the turn of Lynyrd Skynyrd. Just gets better.
Jantjies has now already cost the Lions 6 sure points… and that is not good!
big scrum Sharkies.
Great Sharks scrum… and they have the ball!
Lions breakdown penalty, man over the ball… holding on… 5m from the Lions line.
Very fast paced game.
Fittest team may well prevail.
damn that was close. 3 feet to a 5 pointer
@ Tassies:
What was it Brothers in Arms?
Chiliboy Ralepelle off injured, Franco Marais on.
Sharks have come to play. See if it lasts.
Another ground ball penalty to the Lions, Malcolm Marx again!
What a contrast in Playing Conditions compared to the Crusaders/Highlanders game.
Big contest here… good stuff!
52 @ cane:
Yeah, we are having a marvelous, clear and sunny winters day here in Gauteng today!
Perfect rugby weather.
Lions struggling to break down this determined Sharks defence.
Lions very hesitant, impatient… panicky!
Sharks very kickable penalty… shot it is!
@ cane:
Yup.
Lions 3 / 11 Sharks
Hang in there sharkies…………………………..do it for Puma.
