Bulls aren't doing anything much, brute forcing it mostly and capitalizing on the plethora of Lions errors.

If that Bools player who hugged Pollard was wearing red he’d be gone for 8 weeks for an eye gouge.

Don't count the Leeus out yet, Paks.


And early score in the 2nd half might change their fortunes

We have seen some second half turnarounds/collapses recently so let's see what happens. Lions will need to stop making basic errors.

And the Lions drops it again, they get the penalty though. Got nice quick ball but support was just too slow to arrive and they had to pause before getting it back out.

Lions with a big let off as the knock but win a penalty for offside regardless...


Go to the corner boys!!!


They set up a lineout deep in the Leeus half...


but they fluff the lineout :/

And Henko drops the pass. That looked a bit of a clumsy move though. Ou Maaik's man Bronson doing a weird twirl before passing.

Vorster gets a well deserved try. Lions look dead in the water, Plummie. Lions 19 not covering himself in glory there by running around to defend against no one while Vorster casually plants the ball on the side he just abandoned.

Voster dots down.


That might be the game.


Stravino is faster than he looks...he outpaced Crappies there for a bit

Lions' brute forcing not having even close to the results of that of the Bulls. Now they throw the lamest intercept pass you're ever likely to see.

And the Bulls toddle through. Kriel ran into his own man, maybe lucky to get away with it but ended up with a nice break and offload to Papier.

Lions just don't have the quality to compete
