Lions versus Dragons - URC 2026

What a cross by O'Brien to Dyer in the in goal. Try Dragons.

Conversion is good

Dragons lead

18-21

21-18 Drags

Great handling Lions and Smith eventually over after they almost fluffed it.

Lions hit right back!

Lots of hands and interplay between backs and forwards with Smith eventually going over and the Lions lead by 4 again

25-21

25-21. Great pickup by Smith there, has to be said. Saw a few of those knocked in the Bulls game.

Nice clearance by Smith to halfway from the kickoff

Cronje having a good game

Nice read Cronje, he has been really good in all respects.

Big mistake from the Dragons as the kick it over the dead ball line and now the Lions have a scrum just inside the Dragons half...they'll milk a penalty from this

Yep Lions get a penalty and they go for touch to set up a lineout on the Dragons 22

Poor pass stifles the Lions momentum from the lineout but they go again and Steyn in off Franke's offload. The offside yellow finally comes for the Dragons.

Commentator doesn't know why he got a yellow. Oblivious to the slew of offside penalties against the Dragons since the first half.

Another Lions try Lions and the Dragons eat a yellow. This time the forwards pick and drive with Steyn eventually scoring.

Note how involved France was in both tries

Dragons forwards looking tired now

Quan Horn capitalises from the steal and gets a 50/22

The kid is on fire

Big old 50/22 from Quan off the turnover possession.

Venter departs

Man, only bad thing about a decent game is we don't have much cause for humour. Guess I'll take it to see some decent rugby for a change.

Venter was a bit quiet today.

Lions again with layered attack creates the chance for Davids but he knocks it. What other SA team attacks like this?

Wasn't a perfect pass but Davids should have caught that.

David's drops the final pass to fluff an almost certain try but the Lions have penalty advantage

They go for touch and have a lineout on the dragons 5m

They fluff the lineout

Big scrum from the Lions on the Dragons put in...they'll kick this back to the corner and take another lineout

Lineout 5 for the Lions, come on okes.

Lions need a clean maul here...

Bathi takes, ball comes out and Steyn goes over again

Steyn in short side off another offload.

Dragons knocked now...it should be all Lions now

Im predicting some long range tries

Always looking for the offload, these guys. So good to see.

Shit!!!

Horn makes a nice start to a run and then kicks it directly out

Quan maybe look for the pass instead of the kick, boet.

Wheels coming off now for the Dragons...silly mistakes

What a finish from Cronje

Muscled up on the touch line and kept it going all the way to go over and score

Henko gets the turnover, Lions can rumble. Cronje scores a sizzler. Jirre looks sommer like a vaal outjie but he can play.

Now Quan throws a shit pass and Henco knocks it

Kak pass by Quan. Maybe that's why he prefers kicking.

And the Dragons hit back under penalty advantage through Dyer down the touchline

Nice hands Dragons, Dyer over.

42-26 to the Leeus

Why does Kriel grubber that????
