Well that’s it then.
Congratulations to the Lions.
You can go all the way, no doubt.
But the Crusaders are a completely different team to the Hurricanes. Not better, not worse, just different.
Home advantage is huge and you will favourites.
2 Minutes to go… Lions knock…
Lions 41 – Canes 7 in the second 40. That cannot be predicted.
Ardie Savea tackled Jantjies freegin very hard…. monster!
@ cane:
Sorry Cane, but if ever i wanted another SA team to lift the crown it is This Lions team. Ackerman should have been Bok coach
Lions scrum… 1 minute to go!
The game is safe for the Lions!
Game over!!
Lions win!
Coach Ackers must be one of the best coaches we’ve ever produced. Wonder what he snuck into his pep talk at halftime. Probably promised them all a date with Charlize if they produced the goods.
okay. Who’s got tickets for next week’s final?
GBS what a comeback, this is precious gold for Lions, SA and Springboks
