Lions vs Sharks

[Rembrandt]

Highly entertaining game! Lots of pressure, Lions making uncharacteristic mistakes. Sharks up 11 - 3 after 33 mins. Haven't watched a lot of the saffa teams this year some pretty handy players coming through, Boks might be ok this year

[Wreck Diver]

COME ON SHARKS

[African Monkey]

Lions have been shocking this half. Upset on the cards here if the Lions can't sort their handling errors out.

[Wreck Diver]

3-14 to the Sharks at half time

[Rembrandt]

Has that sharks 8 made the boks? Seems to be everywhere

[Billy Tell]

C'mon Sharks. Is it correct the Lions went all regular season without facing a NZ side?!

[Wreck Diver]

@Billy-Tell Yes you are correct

[Wreck Diver]

long range drop goal just missed by the sharks

[Rembrandt]

A part of me wants the Lions to win just to see how the canes measure up to them in likely dry conditions

[Wreck Diver]

@Rembrandt I would rather a home semi

[gt12]

Think this ref wants the Lions to win, ducking strange, sudden YC. No warning.

And his scrum rulings I can't follow at all.

[African Monkey]

Jantjies having a shocker with the boot.

[gt12]

Lions all over them now with the extra man.

13-14. 27 left and 2 more with only 14.

[antipodean]

I'd like to see how that was a penalty. Looked like a legitimate tackle.

Good option by the Lions to take the quick tap.

[gt12]

My god. It's embarrassing how one sided this ref has gone.

[gt12]

Sharks score but should get overturned.

It is.

[Kruse]

Lions down to 14 men... this could still be interesting.

[gt12]

And, now the Lions lose a man.

So, I take it back - he's fairl in the way that he's all over the place.

[Kruse]

Sharks try.
20-21
Game on.

[Kruse]

I didn't even watch the penalty kick, just went to get a drink assuming Lions were back in front, and just now noticed the score...
How many points have the Lions left on the kicking tee?

[African Monkey]

@Kruse 13

[Rembrandt]

going to be a hell of a finish

[Crash]

Just pick and go FFS never mind the droppie

If he goes it a third time, it would become quite amusing.

[gt12]

Sharks 15 looking to lose them the game.

Threw the ball away needlessly and then blatant offside.

[African Monkey]

Mvovo what the hell were you doing!

And has, by the looks of it. Muppet.

Applying for a job at the Lions, it seems.

[Crash]

Oh Crap.

[African Monkey]

Lions dodge a massive bullet there. Were nowhere near their best today.

Or he really, really dislikes Wellington.

[antipodean]

That's poor refereeing letting the Lions seal off the ball at numerous rucks to close out the game.

[Samurai Jack]

What an absolute brainfart by Mvovo! Did he have money on the Lions? Incredible!

Yes

[canefan]

From what I'm reading on the thread, if the Lions play like that next week they might have some problems.....

Only if the Canes play better than in the first half against the ponies.

[taniwharugby]

you'd think the conditions in J'burg will be better suited to the 'canes style of play than a freezing night in Canberra, but ahgree they will need to up thier game considerably.

[akan004]

Coles v Marx is going to be epic. Two best hookers in the world right now.
