Sunwolves v Lions

[bbarcs]

Sunwolves looking a good chance after 15 minutes the way Jantjies is kicking.

[bbarcs]

If you look up efficiency in the dictionary you'll see a picture of Marnitz Boshoff.... But they left him at home.

[Crucial]

These Sunwolves aren't that bad. Maybe the Hurricanes could look at poaching their coach?

[bbarcs]

Referee allowing the Sunwolves to seal off the ball at every second ruck which is frustrating.

[gt12]

They're doing well so far with almost no possession.<br><br>
Halfback gives great service to Pisi.

[gt12]

Ha! Rugby, US style

[gt12]

They give up meters pretty easily. Good turnover to get them out of trouble.

[bbarcs]

Happy for the Sunwolves and all that they're being competitive but the referee needs to be taught about breakdowns.<br><br>
No releasing the ball after the tackle has been made then he's blowing them up for not releasing.<br>
Players sealing off the ball.<br>
Blowing penalties for half-hearted attempts at the ball but playing on when the ball was properly contested.<br><br>
It's a lottery.<br><br>
I'm praying for a better year with refereeing cause the last 2 years especially has been a farce.

[gt12]

Finally the Lions take advantage and score. <br><br>
Sunwolves really need to work on their line speed. They just give the Lions too much time to hurt them.

<p>If the Lions can cut out the errors then I think they should win quite comfortably.</p>

Well, neutral refs would help. I think JP refs are terrible, as a rule.

[gt12]

Not that he is JP, I just realized

<p>It's like watching a Super 12 match in the early 2000s.  There is a crowd in attendance.</p>

[Rancid Schnitzel]

That was a great break.<br><br>
Who are the comms? 2 guys they found in the stadium?

[gt12]

Good try there and then a bit of a shame with the quick throw.

[gt12]

Suddenly, this is turning into a great game to watch.

Ken Laban on my TV. Easy to tell from the overuse of "second man play" and "short blind"

[gt12]

Pisi being a bit silly here. Not sure deserved yellow, but he deserved it for being a clown
