Lions penalty, 10m out… dangerous tackle.
Blues penalty…
Lions just cannot complete, errors galore… wrong options.
They are just that fraction off, that little bit ill-diciplined, that tiny bit vulnerable on defence… and that fraction, that little bit has the score blowing out against them, week after week.
After this match the Blues will be TOP of the Log, on 22 Log Points… and the Lions will be almost at the bottom on only 5 Log Points.
Try Blues, Hoskins Sotutu!
