Totally different Lions team in the 2nd half… since Mapoe, Coetzee & Vermaak is on for the struggling Naude, Combrinck and Orie!!
Almost a Rebels try… looked knocked by Quade Cooper…
Definately no try… he did lose the ball.
Another Lions scrum, for a Rebels knock out wide on their left wing side.
10 Minutes to go in the match.
The Wales / Ireland match starting in 2 minutes… I will be there directly after this game…
Lions very, very kickable penalty… go for posts, boys!!
Nooooo, they tap and go… eish!!
Yet another Lions penalty…
Think here will be another Card… no yet another Team warning only!!
Popped out 5m out.

Not the Lions best game… but the 2nd Half was certainly better when the strugglers were replaced.
Huge comeback by the Lions.
