Big Lions scrum… and they earn the scrum penalty… easily!
32

Dylan Smith on the Lions loosehead monstered his opponent tighthead, Sekope Kepu in that scrum!
33

Lions scrum, 10m out.

They need to put another big scrum together here.
34

Tahs penalty, in on the side by Kwagga Smith.

Lions scrum Free Kick… quick tap.

Lions muck it up though.
36

Try Tahs, Tom Staniforth!

Subs now on thick and fast.
41

grootblousmile on 11 May 2019 at 4:28 pm

Lions penalty, Kwagga Smith over the ball… on about the Lions own 22.
42

grootblousmile on 11 May 2019 at 4:31 pm

Lions penalty, just outside the Tahs 22… in front.

Wow, they go for touch.

They could have retaken the lead with an easy shot at goal.
43

grootblousmile on 11 May 2019 at 4:33 pm

Lions penalty again… in front again.

Waratahs team warning.
44

Lions 29 / 28 Waratahs

grootblousmile on 11 May 2019 at 4:36 pm

Lions playing dilly, hoenderkop rugby at times… far too bent on not kicking for goal form sure points positions.
46

grootblousmile on 11 May 2019 at 4:37 pm

Drop goal attempt by Foley from 45m out, missed to the right.
47

grootblousmile on 11 May 2019 at 4:37 pm

9 Minutes to go, the sides seperated by 1 single point.
48

grootblousmile on 11 May 2019 at 4:39 pm

Who wants the game more??
49

grootblousmile on 11 May 2019 at 4:40 pm

Lions penalty, early tackle on Van der Sluys.
50

grootblousmile on 11 May 2019 at 4:40 pm

Lions now with the momentum… they can bury the Tahs here if they score!
51

grootblousmile on 11 May 2019 at 4:42 pm

Offside advantage… penalty Lions!

Smack bang in front.

They kick to the corner…

This time I agree with the decision… keep field position, makes almost no difference being 1 point or 4 points ahead… but this decision could result in a try…
52

grootblousmile on 11 May 2019 at 4:43 pm

Turnover Tahs scrum, 5m from their own line.

3 Minutes to go.
53

grootblousmile on 11 May 2019 at 4:44 pm

Tahs will have to go 95m if they want to score… and the Lions scrums have been very good.

I predict a reset scrum first, though… hahaha
54

grootblousmile on 11 May 2019 at 4:45 pm

Big Lions scrum…. penalty!!

Dylan Smith once again getting big dominance!
55

grootblousmile on 11 May 2019 at 4:46 pm

Lions 5m lineout… 90 seconds to go.
56

grootblousmile on 11 May 2019 at 4:46 pm

Tahs turnover scrum again.

Will we see the reset scrum now?
57

grootblousmile on 11 May 2019 at 4:47 pm

Time is up on the clock…
58

grootblousmile on 11 May 2019 at 4:48 pm

Tahs forced to run from their own line.
59

grootblousmile on 11 May 2019 at 4:48 pm

Lions have it…. popped out for the 1-point win!
