Lions versus Edinburgh URC 2026

Scotties making some plays at the end of the half but it's entirely unconvincing...

oh no, Francke eats a yellow

Ja that was good by Mills. Franke gets yellow.

Batho has been a bit quiet

Mahashe has been good though.

Great defence by the Lions and they score at the other end through Mills, who scored after winning the initial penalty.

35-0 at half-time.

Man, the counter and try by the Lions. Mills finishes on the juggle.

Lekker Mills!!!

Crucial steal and they counter from their 22 again and score...and 3 minutes eaten off the yellow too

I'm starting to see why Chippo likes Mills. He's got some good composure

See, the problem is, I watch this game, and the Lions are playing actual rugby, even if Edinburgh are terrible. It's brave, entertaining and succesful ...

...and after this it's the Sharks :/

Which I just know is gonna be another 80 minutes of eye bleeding horrible rugby

Brisk start to the half from Edinburgh but it ends with another knock on

Lions back to 15 men as Francke returns. Bit surprised to see Landsberg subbed as he's been good.

Edinburgh totally failing to get any points from the yellow card...actually 7 points down over the period

Ja I'm still pondering whether the Sharks will be worth watching.

Finally Edinburgh get in for a score through Ashman at the back of the maul.

That'll give them some confidence...hopefully

Edinburgh score through Ashman. Have to say that's deserved. Edinburgh much improved in this second half. Thompson's conversion hits the upright. 35-5.

When have the Sharks been worth watching over the blast two seasons?

Pead on with 30 minutes to go and no real pressure. Nice learnings to be had for him

Pead over but looks like the ball was out . . . no try.

Is that try even real!!!?????

True. They've had a decent game or two just after JP took over before racing off the Plumtree cliff again.

Nice work by Quan Horn but why the kick?? Two men outside him, no defender in front, pass the damn ball and you score.

Dammit, it was out

Nice cross kick by Smith and Angelo Davids is in.

Davids off a pinpoint cross by Smith, Lions in anyway.

Ja the kick was a mistake but the step that got him through the gap was sublime….it all ends well

Cross kick from Smith to Davids and the Leeus are in again

42-5

Smith has 6 from 6 conversion attempts

For me, Horn is defos the form 15 in SA at the moment.

Horn is definitely breathing down Worry Gelant's neck :)

Edinburgh with another chance to score from a maul now...

and they do score after breaking away from the maul...still a zillion points behind though

Nicely weighted grubber from Mills with not much on outside.

Nicely weighted grubber from Mills with not much on outside.

Lions with a chance for a maul try of their own...they fluff it

Davids in off the Mills grubber. How did the EDB player not cover that? Looked like some lazy ass cover defense. Well spotted by Mills though and perfectly placed and weighted kick.

Edinburgh finally settling in and make their exists and and standing up to the Lions

...as I say that, the Lions score again

LOL

Angelo Davids in again. Edinburgh are back to playing like they did in the first half.

Smith deadly off the tee.

Smith slots another conversion...7 from 7

That clear out from Venter...the man is powerful af

Currie in off a simple inside line.

Edinburgh score through Currie.

MotM might be a tough choice here. I'd go Mills but both the Horns and Chris Smith must have a shout.

Venter is a beast.
