Lions 22 / 29 Hurricanes
Jordie looks like a Barrett. Could be his boet’s twin
Lions penalty, in front… 5m out… cynical!!
Yellow Card to Beauden Barrett!!
That’s more like it.
Give us a sniff. Even a half chance.
Us Canes do not want to be playing catch up in the thin air with 10 minutes to go.
Lions 25 / 29 Hurricanes
Ooooooh No.
not entirely convinced it was accidental by Barrett. Seemed to know where the ball was. Was very subtle though.
@ Tassies:
I’m convinced.
harsh.
Try Harold Vorster, Lions!!
Great attacking continuity!!
the Lions take full advantage of the superior numbers. Canes now struggling on defense.
Lions 32 / 29 Hurricanes
Lions lead… can you believe it!!
@ cane:
we’ll never know for sure Caner. But accidental or not, Cronje was obstructed by the move and was unable to play the ball. The only debate is whether it was worth a yellow I’d think.
You doubting Thomas’s.
@ grootblousmile:
I’m certainly stunned. I gave them no hope earlier.
Canes penalty, just inside the Lions half… against Jaco Kriel!
Shot it is….
@ grootblousmile:
102
amazing, hey
@ cane:
guilty as charged.
Canes empty the bench. Fresh legs.
And it is good bench.
Missed….
Subs now on thick and fast!
@ cane:
22
You can offcourse give him space on the naughty chair 🙁
@ Tassies:
LOL.
The Helter Skelter start threw you all off.
Milner-Skudder knocks an intercept attempt… otherwise he would have been through!
nearly another intercept. That would have triggered a few slit wrists around the Witwatersrand.
Big Lions scrum… penalty advantage…
Lions very close…
Tryyyyyyy Elton Jantjies, Lions!!
TMO
This a game of fine margins, if Milner-Skudder had………………………..
Didn’t check the start time for this properly looks tense with a good come back from the Lions
I have no words. They’re all eaten.
Try looks good to me….
