The Lions had this one won at the half, but bumbled their way into a losing position. Then the Rebels gave it back. Kudos to Jantjies for slotting the last kick.....pouring whipped cream on an otherwise stale performance by the flyhalf. Run over, charged, bottling out with a forward pass, chipping away great attacking ball....the minature 10 did it all. What more could we ask for of a young 10 a commentator asked? Competence would be nice....guts would be even better.
Ackerman did have the sense to pull some of his flagging forwards including the captain. That took guts but probably won the game....he would be my MOM. There was nobody else on either side.
These are two absolutely terrible teams. The loss of either side would be no loss to the Super competition.
