Lions take the game


They won this by doing the basic right and allowing Stormers to make mistakes

"Ref calls Lions not back 10 and 5 minutes later doesn’t call the Stormers for a worse example of the same thing. Rugby reffing remains irandom"


He wants a free house in Cape Town ;)

That’s it…great play by the Lions. I can’t see Erasmus being impressed by de Villiers or Roos based on this game.

F Horn doing the business every week and making a difference. He's way ahead of Roos in my book


Pity that he keeps being overlooked

Agree regarding Roos he just doesn't have the physicality or the open game skills.

Not quite Bok material.

Looking at De Villiers I think he would make a great scrummie.

But that said he does remind one of Kwagga and may play very well at 6 in a Bok pack.

Slowly, week by week...more people are understanding that Roos isn't the hulk that he thinks he is.


How long have we been saying this for, Moz? Must be two seasons now.


He needs to play on the side of the scrum...or....at.....12 ;)


mwhahaha

Congrats to the Lions, well played. The Lions are playing positive rugby at the moment.


Morné vd Berg, Franke Horn, Batho Hlekeni, Quan Horn, Henco van Wyk, and Bronson Mills played a good game.


The Stormers were not really at their best today, they have taken a major dip in form as of late. JD, Adre Smith, Marcelle Theunissen and Paul de Villiers were solid, though quiet.


Johnathon Roche and Jurie Matthee again made an impact. Mchunu stood strong in the scrums and was good in loose play.


Evan Roos is not on form, and I don’t really understand why he was picked for the Boks. I Hope Sacha and the Stormers can reclaim there good form.
