Is the ginger, van der Walt, a Bokke prospect this year?
Sharks seem to be dictating play, forcing the Lions into errors. Lions will need to settle and start directing play if they want to make the semis.
Again we have a Sharks scrum penalty…
Or is Whitely a 6 as well?
@ cane:
he’s in a high traffic area so I’d suspect not.

Nah, not really… he is the Sharks captain and a seasoned campaigner… used to play for the Cheetahs.
14 to 3. Who would have thought?
Curwin Bosch slots another penalty…
Lions 3 / 14 Sharks
Lemoenetyd
Even the ball seems to bounce in a more extreme way up on the Veld.
70 @ cane:
Over 2 000m above sea level here…. so the ball definately flies further and bounces more!

@ grootblousmile:
That’s a shame……………………………I like a little colour on on my TV screen.
Wow… 11 points behind at halftime for the Lions…
They will have to play radically better in the 2nd half!
2nd Half ON!
Almost another sucessful drop by Curwin Bosch!
Lions scrum…
Lions scrum penalty…. and the Sharks get a talking to about Thomas du Toit!
Stephan Lewies of the Sharks cops a Yellow Card… Lions penalty…. easy shot if they want it!
They opt to scrum!
Reset scrum…
Scrum penalty advantage…
Try Franco Mostert, Lions!
Lions 8 / 14 Sharks
Jantjies’ goal kicking sucks today!
Lions penalty on their own 10m line.
Try Jaco Kriel, Lions!
So…….it’s game on. 14 to 13 with the kick to go. Maybe change the kicker? Maybe not.
Lions 13 / 14 Sharks
Maybe Jantjies should pop home to fetch his boots that he left in the cupboard. Clueless.
85 @ Tassies:
Time for Ruan Combrinck to take over the kicking duties!
All Lions in 2nd half so far.
Dig deep guppies, dig deep.
@ cane:
Red’s not really a popular hair colour in our rather complex society afraid Caner. There are exceptions of course.
