Big Lions scrum… and they earn the scrum penalty… easily!
Dylan Smith on the Lions loosehead monstered his opponent tighthead, Sekope Kepu in that scrum!
Lions scrum, 10m out.
They need to put another big scrum together here.
Tahs penalty, in on the side by Kwagga Smith.
Lions scrum Free Kick… quick tap.
Lions muck it up though.
Try Tahs, Tom Staniforth!
Lions 26 / 28 Waratahs
8 Tries in the match already, 4 from each of the 2 sides.
20 Minutes to go in the match
Subs now on thick and fast.
Lions penalty, Kwagga Smith over the ball… on about the Lions own 22.
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.
Lions penalty again… in front again.
Waratahs team warning.
Lions 29 / 28 Waratahs
Lions playing dilly, hoenderkop rugby at times… far too bent on not kicking for goal form sure points positions.
Drop goal attempt by Foley from 45m out, missed to the right.
9 Minutes to go, the sides seperated by 1 single point.
Who wants the game more??
Lions penalty, early tackle on Van der Sluys.
Lions now with the momentum… they can bury the Tahs here if they score!
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…
Turnover Tahs scrum, 5m from their own line.
3 Minutes to go.
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
Big Lions scrum…. penalty!!
Dylan Smith once again getting big dominance!
Lions 5m lineout… 90 seconds to go.
