They kick into the corner though.
Try Malcolm Marx, Lions!!
Lions 5 / 0 Rebels
Try Reece Hodge, Rebels… from the set-phase scrum…
Lions 5 / 5 Rebels
Try Rebels, Quade Cooper!
Excellent work by the Rebels… many correct decisions, one after the other…
Lions 5 / 12 Rebels
Rebels penalty, on their own 22… holding on.
Marvin Orie has been absolutely ghastly terrible for the Lions so far…
Intercept by Billy Meakes… easy Rebels try under the sticks!
Lions 5 / 19 Rebels
The Lions are playing sooooooooooo badly….
Lions listless, error-prone, indecisive…
Almost a Rebels try… maybe it is…
TMO
Against the base of the posts… Isi Naisarani!
Try is awarded.
Lions 5 / 26 Rebels
Rebels currently going faster than a point a minute…
Ruan Combrick knocks on… and into touch.
He’s particularly terrible at the moment!
Lions penalty, on their own 10m line… No 15 never onside.
Fantastic touchfinder by Elton Jantjies.
Again a simple, simple Lions error…
Lions look untrained, unhappy.
Rebels on fire…
Try Tom English, Rebels…
No, he knocked going over.
Lions lucky.
TMO
Definately no try…
Defensive Lions 5m scrum.
There has been a gradual degradation of play at the Lions… makes one question coach Swys de Bruin.
Big Lions scrum, penalty!
Another Lions penalty, against No 1 & 2…
Rebels scrum Free Kick…
Rebels very polished and sure in the tactics they are applying.
Lions scrum penalty, No 1 losing his bind.
This one kicked out 5m out.
Lions better grab points back here…
