Big scrum now for the Lions...brand new front row and their put in...they should walk this...
Leinster go around the corner and there's gets games yet again
Reset
Lions get the penalty and break out of their 22
Finally the Lions with some hard hits in defence
Pretorius replaces Mahashe
52 minutes gone and the first 12 of this half have been slow and exactly what Leinster would want
Who is number 20 for the Lions? He stopped porter in his tracks.
Think it's Siba Qoma.
Ok thanks. Strong guy.
Lekker Lions!!!
They make things from nothing as the kick ahead is chased and eventually Henco(I think) makes a steal
They set up an attacking lineout, Leinster defend the maul
Just watched one of the more memorable GPs in recent memory.
Looks like I've missed a good game. Go Lions!
Bit of a sleepy second half, neither team getting much going.
And Leinster continue to game the ref at scrum time
Brilliant play Lions . . . this deserves a try . ..
That unintentional kick ahead was a game changer.
Hahaha that was some funny stuff as Leinster do their best to have their clearance kicks charged down...
They look very tired
Prediction...a Lions to pull away now with two scores
And Cronje makes a steal after O'Brien defeats Kriel in the air for the high ball.
Lions will take 3 and the lead
20-19 Lions
"defeats Kriel"? What is this blasphemy? Kriel was setting up the steal for Cronje.
Not sure I agree with the Lions going for poles, keep the pressure on while you're running hot. Cronje with a great turnover.
Henco needs to be in the Bok setup. What a great center, that actually "glides" 😁
Another great steal by the Lions and this time a Smit goes to the corner for lineout...
FYI that was the lock who made the steal
And then Batho knocks it's from the lineout play
Eish!?
This guy, man. Just when he gives you a glimmer of hope he dumps a bucket of sand on it again.
Batho with the charge down, if he was onside it was marginal but we'll take it.
Lions scrum the shit out of Leinster but get penalised
Not straight. Pity though strong scrum from the Lions.
Irish can't scrum.
And Batho offloads to Leinster but luckily then Lions had a penalty advantage
And Henco makes a steal...great stuff and the Lions have another attacking lineout
Paks, Cronje looks set to take MOTM
Ja I check it. Henco is a weapon too, hope he gets into the Bok mix before he's too old.
Lovely quick tap by Steyn draws the penalty and a yellow...
Lions fluff the attacking chance as Steyn passes behind Adams who set off early
Well the Lions properly fucked that up. Hope that's the last time they try to maul.
Lions win a scrum penalty with 4 minutes to go and Smith kicks it deep into Leinster's half....
Cumon Leeus...score a try
JCP is a livewire . . .
Yes!
Mpeku is over to win it, surely?
Brilliant touch with the penalty by Smith.
Nice. Lions finish it with a try after a cross fielder from Smit to Mpeku(or however you spell it)
Smit slots the conversion
27-19 Lions
Very well deserved win for SA's best team at the moment.
Sharks to follow though . . .
Mpeku scores, well played.
Entertaining game in the end
Lions off to a positive start
Dare we watch the Sharks, Plummie?
Eish, I'll commit to the first half but gonna smoke a tiny bit of Zol first haha
OMG...they held all of us for the tiniest bit of head contact.
You have to be kidding
Consolation try for Leinster.
Ethan Adams is a very exciting prospect.
Skulk is the best comments guy.
