Gqoboka knocks…, just inside the Bulls 10m area…
Another Lions scrum, knocked by the Bulls in tackling the Lions player…
Bulls defence has also been staunch….
Lemoenetyd
Looking at the Bulls total territorial and possession dominance, maybe they should have been much further ahead on the Score Board by now, so credit to the Lions defence.
But the Bulls have been innovative, good options taken, solid all over but the forwards doing a mountain of good work.
The Lions have just not been able to get quality ball to work with, at all and the 2 or 3 chances they have had, they have knocked or given penalties away.
Lions have not been in a single scoring opportunity situation, not one!
OK, so what will the 2nd Half deliver for us??
2nd Half ON!
Dyantji kicks out directly… lineout way back on the Lions 10m line.
Bulls penalty, collapsing the maul… kickable… shot!
Lions 0 / 17 Bulls
A player down from each side.. injured.
Schalk Brits for the Bulls…
Lions scrum, just inside the Bulls 10m line, far side of the field… 6m from touch.
High tackle by Specman… advantage played.
Back for the penalty… it is kickable, but I think the Lions will kick for touch… yes they do.
Try Carlu Sadie, Lions.
Lions 5 / 17 Bulls
Ahhh come on Bulls!
Lions penalty, deep in their own 22… not rolling away.
Ross Cronjé on for Nic Groom for the Lions.
Schalk Brits never onside, Lions penalty, on about the Lions 10m line.
Kicked out just inside the Bulls 22.
Bulls penalty, man isolated, Jenkins over the ball.
Bulls penalty again, high tackle by Mapoe.
Lions playing much better in the 2nd half though, compared to the 1st half.
Bulls penalty, high tackle on Specman by No 19…
This one might be kickable too…
Yes, posts.
Lions 5 / 20 Bulls
Lions penalty, on the Bulls 10m line… ripped on the ground by Pollard.
Ruan Steenkamp off for a head assessment, Jannes Kirsten on.
Bulls penalty, earned by Schalk Brits… over the ball.
He’s been bloody good and it looks like he is enjoying his Bulls rugby…
Loooong range attempt at posts by Pollard… well over 50m
Overrrr… he had oddles of distance to spare!
Lions 5 / 23 Bulls
