Hi Gbs ou pel not good with Eksteen off with the red card. How are the Blue Bulls coping with one loose forward less? Have they put a back up front for scrum time or just scrummed with 7? It makes it difficult for the coach with substitutions, wonder how they will go. Guess the forwards will be putting in extra work to cover for Eksteen so possible he should make all the forward replacements he can and in the end go with a backline player short, depending on the match situation at first, if we are ahead deep into the 2nd half I think that would be the best thing to do.
2nd Half ON!
Reading through the commentary it seems as if the Lions are giving away a lot of penalties, has the ref spoken to them about it yet, any sign of yellow card for them?
