Eish...Mills isn't playing. Dammit, just when he was starting to stand out

Venter is such a unit...just towering over everyone in the huddle and yet he's not lanky.


The man is built for murder

Solid play by the Lions, the offloading executed much more clinically than we saw from the Stormers

Henco scores!


Lions constantly shifting the point of contact...putting together numerous positive phases and eventually scoring

Only problem I have is Kriel at 12...he's very lightweight and error prone.

Typical Ellis Park shadow on the field. Remember it from those Saturday afteroon Currie Cup games of my young days.

Lions over again, so good in moving the ball. Cronje almost fell asleep over the line though with a defender on his ass.

Francke Horn doing Francke Horn things...


He starts the break and is involved numerous times until the ball is dotted down.

So how difficult is this rugby to execute if a bunch of largely no name brand players with an almost no name brand coach can do it, but our Bok laden sides play like rank amateurs.

The Lions have this strong offloading game but they remain very organised off the ball.


There's noting loose about them

Easy as that, holy crap. No smash and bash, moving the ball away from the contact and into the gap.

Big scrum as the Lions push Glasgow off the ball on their own line


Tap and go and the Lions cut them wide open...an score


This is what Dobbo calls 50/50 hahaha

How about a yellow for that deliberate knock, Lions looked a man clear outside.
