Sit up, get ready… not long before the action!
Players out on the field….
Game ON!
Kick-Off by the Lions!
Stormers penalty, holding on, on the ground…. very kickable.
Lions 0 / 3 Stormers
Lions very kickable penalty, but they kick to the corner.
Stormers steal the ground ball… and clear to touch.
The Lions play a game of “Arrogance”, if I can call it that… shunning 3 sure points to kick penalties to the corner… but that is their habit to do so.
Another Lions penalty, this time they sensibly go for posts… over!
Lions 3 / 3 Stormers
Try Lions, Wandesile Simelane… converted!
Lions 10 / 3 Stormers
Herschell Jantjies intercepts… but Simelane hauls him in and tackles him out… tackle was slightly high, Stormers penalty only!
Try Dan du Plessis, Stormers!
Lions 10 / 8 Stormers
Lions try… excellent!
No 6, Pelser!
Lions 17 / 8 Stormers
Lions scrum penalty on Halfway…. posts it is!
Missed to the right!
Stormers penalty, side entry… also about from Halfway.
Kicked to touch, excellent touchfinder!
Stormers very close… 2 penalty advantages played, penalty given… 5m out.
Popped into the corner!
Ball nicely ripped away by Pelser from Riekus Pretorius…. all legit.
But then a Lions transgression, penalty 12m out… easy points but they also arrogantly kick for the corner!
Try Bongi Mbonambi!
Lions 17 / 15 Stormers
Great exit by Herschell Jantjies from kick-off receipt… all the way to Halfway!
Goal line drop-out by the Stormers…
Captain’s challenge by Kitsie… tackle by Hendrikse (10) on Herschell Jantjies…
It was above the shoulder… but Referee says player was down low, no foul play.
Kitsie loses the challenge.
Try Lions, EW Viljoen!
Lions 22 / 15 Stormers
