Roaring Lions versus the Shaks!

This should be a good one oaks. Can rootwits Shaks overcome their psychological scars

Sharks pack looks stronger b ut Lions more mobile.

Massive scrum by Lions destroys shaks scrum! Van Rooyen destroys Du Toit!

The next Bok flyhalf Robert Du Preez runs through poor Jantjes and scores near pots its 7-0. Lions will struggle to hold shaks near their line. Lions pack is 547 kg.

Du Preez could be the answer at 10.

Am monsters Vorster.

The decision to play Thomas at tighthead already looks like a season losing choice. The man is too tall, and like a loosehead he moves his feet at the feed.....no technique, wrong physique.....madness.

Great try Lions. Scrum is very good.

Hi there Moz. Yes Du Preez is doing very well. Du Toit has a lot to prove at tighthead as you say he tall. Brillant try by Dyanti And some oaks say we have no backline talent. Sigh!

Am gets Vorster again. Yep that was a sweet try for the Lions wing....he looks fast and alert.

Thomas folds again, squandering the scoring chance.

Nice technique by Nkosi after a good Robert du Preez break. Promising young wings on show.

Great passing puts Mapoe in for second try. Its 21 -12 to lions

Solid win for lions but they will miss Fierrera and Ackerman n their pack.

A far better game than the Stormers versus Jaguars...which was messy and lacklustre...Stormers could have easily lost this game if the South Americans could have done basic things like passing and catching the ball right...enough to put you to sleep, in fact NZ sides must be smacking their lips. Having said this the Lions and Sharks looked the real deal and the game could have gone either way...some of Glen Jacksons decisions I could not fathom but to blame the ref is a weak excuse...just looks good from both sides...the Lions are even a better side at home...they played with confidence.

That was a B team pack sebolosky! The trouble began when Louw and Kitshof went off.
