Knocked by Andries Coetzee for the Lions, on attack.
Interesting the decision to play Jantjies on 12.
In Nz 12 is considered the playmaker where in SA 12 us often used as a stampcar.
Yet another Lions scrum penalty, almost in front… but they kick for the corner!

Jantjies is just too light to be an effective inside centre, I think.
Lions try?
TMO
Carlu Sadie.
Super defence by Chiefs. TMO the check grounding. Try awarded
Try awarded!
Looked short to me.
Chiefs 0 / 13 Lions

Yes I agree. I don’t thing he is a perfect 12. He is not taking the ball to the line like Mauger and Crotty who is also not big fellas.
Try Lions, Dyantyi!
Great dab-through by Warren Whiteley!
What brilliant grubber by Whiteley.
Chiefs 0 / 20 Lions

Massive halftime lead for the Lions… can they sustain it?
Chiefs is going to start 2nd half with a hiss and a roar.
Lions task is to score first and within first 10 minutes.
2nd Half ON!
Lombard injured. Great talent, lacking experience. Pitty to see him go off.
Lions focussed.
Big scrum by Lions
Again a massive Lions scrum on Chiefs ball, 5m from the Chiefs line… but the Chiefs get their ball, under huge pressure.
Chiefs penalty, good touchfinder.
Lions not patient enough on attack. Needing more variety in terms of starter moves.
Chiefs tackled out to touch… good defence.
Chiefs close…
Chiefs 5m penalty…
Tap and go…
Over…. held up.
Good Lions counter-ruck… on their own 5m line… cleared to touch… out still inside the Lions 22.
Knock… Lions scrum!
Great defence by Lions
Lions scrum penalty…. Jantjies does not manage to kick out.
Lions maul… ball does not emerge, Chiefs scrum.
But, at the moment the Chiefs scrum is a liability.
