I'm not sure Horn's foot was on the line there but I guess the refs have higher resolution footage as me. Good stuff by him anyway yes.

Geez there's nothing Bronson could have done there, he was watching the inside and when he looked back the guy was on him.

Some of these cards are desperately unfair towards the player. I'd like to see any referee in that position avoiding that contact.

Just watched that Mills break again, what a tackle by Edwill. He had to get him down immediately and just took his ankles from him, superb try saver.

Vissies right back under pressure at the start of the 2nd half


Lions with a lineout 5m out...


They go for a variation to Venter

Another score for the Leeus as Mahashe goes over.

Sharks with an attacking lineout on the Lions 5m


nice maul set...holds for a bit and until Mavasere breaks through the middle and goes over


The Vissies needed that but it's a result of poor exit play from the Lions

Morne second tap and go and he gets over but ref says not on the mark. Doesn't matter as Venter crashes over. For a moment it looked like the Lions was about to blow that but they had the strong man against the weaker man.

Nice attacking kick by Smith and the Lions might just have scored there, they'll check. Lions all over this game. Nah, knocked.

Ruan looks good Plummie, will have to watch him a bit closer in general play to see what he does around the field. Strong dude though. Except against Edwill the mini hulk.

Sharks with a big defensive scrum needed. A penalty here would be pretty detrimental...


Scum collapses, reset


How does he give the Sharks that penalty? They clearly went around the corner?

Venter powers over demonstrating tall blokes can break tackles….Sharks seem to be missing Esterhozen.
