who i sgoing t owin the Stormers/ Lions game tomorrow.

Lions are close to being at full strength but Stormers are missing key player like Bekker, Vermulen, Elstadt and Duvenage. Nevertheless its the Mighty Stormers by 10!

Looking foward to seeing how Etzebeth goes and Joe Pietersen go. In fact how this backline goes on attack and especially on defence which the Lions backs should really test.  Also how not having a specialist fetcher will effect the Stormers. 

Now where are all those uppity Lions supporters who "think" their team has a chance to win the Supper 15 trophy this year?

Beeno, you sound nervous...always having a go at us uppity Lions supporters!!!! The Lions are also missing a few......I wish this game was televised so we can see what progress has been made.

 

My hopes for the Lions......at least a third place finish in our conference and in the top 8 of the whole thing. That would be decent progress I think.

The teams will be a bit rusty and experimenting a bit I guess.

Juzzy you are taking a realistic view of things. A top 8 finish is possible and would be a marked improvement for sure.

Jvr is bound to have his hopes dashed! 

Beeno - quietly confident.

"JvR bound to have his hopes dashed".

Blah blah blah......

Please remind me again who the only current champions is in SA?

I see in another thread you mention the "groot brag" is on.

At least we brag about winning first place in a competition.

Unlike you bragging about not even reaching the finals.

 

FOCUS Mr. Beeno.....Focus.

Hahahahahha jvr are you still harping about your third tier Currie Cup win when we had 6 players out , returning Boks with one weeks preparation etc, etc .

As I said, I would rather brag about winning the SA Conference competition when SA sides are at full strenght.

No Juzzy is being realistic do thou likewise Jvr  -focus on the possible. I note you do not give a score prediction. This is of course mandatory in any decent groot brag!  Pluck up your courage Jvr, given your hopes of winning the Super 15 this should be a breeze as Stormers are not at full strength by any means.

Who are Lions missing besides Janties.

You still haven't realised then that you couldn't even win the semi of a 3rd tier comp with first tier players.

 

We are missing a few.

Does Hollenbach and Wikus ring a bell?

Add to that Jantjies, and there are 3 first choice players that is not available.

You are acting like this warmup game is the final of the Super 15.

 

They are using it to get structures right.

It is really what they say Beeno, a WARMUP game.

Wickus - that old guy  - can he still drag himself about. man that should be allowed.

Wickus - 107 kg  (playing lock nogal) 1.93 shortie and will be 32 in February. Frightening stuff.

Now please Jvr if you are going to be missing wickus big time you are in trouble. At Super 15 level he  struggles at lock. Now we are another year on.

I listed above who we are missing. Much more significant

But you are right its a warm up game.

Good luck on the 24 points win!!

See ya Monday? Hahahahaha  - have a blessed weekend Jvr!

 Wikus' leadership skills is something the Lions cherish Beeno.

He is perfect backup for Josh.

I see my scores were much closer than yours.

I told you Lions by 24.

See my prediction were only 2 points out.

Lions lost by 22. I didn't say win or lose. LOL.

Nice weekend for you too Beens.

We'll reap revenge during the REAL tournament.

At the end of the day WP are on the road to nowhere. A painfully bland side on the decline. Lions are exciting, youthful and on an upward curve.

jvr your prediction was 46 points out!!!! So you can only improve surely!!

And no Jvr I do not buy the "I didn't say win or lose bit". wahahahahaha wha ta ruse to pull!.

But  I will not make to much of it as it was a warm up and a sall the Lions supporters know the Lions were not really trying to wi this one!!

I see the Stormers were playing with thirteen men at one stage and even then the Lons could get nowwhere!  Etzebeth apparently amd a statement.

Sorry Card but one of the Cheetahs or Lions is going nowhere - make way for the southern queens ! You had better pray that thiscompetition becomes theSuper 16 - which will then become the Super 18 - play each side once?

Always a pleasure to put the Lions supporters right.

Read a post I put under Southern Queens. Are Lions history?

How can the only champions in SA at the moment be history, because of the Kings Beens?

We won a comp that not even your Mighty WP could.

As a matter of fact, you guys could not even reach the finals because of the Lions.

Surely that puts you under more pressure thatn the Lions.

Bwahahahaha.......!!!!!!

Ever thought of that?

Bwahahahahaha!!!!!
