Lions side for Ospreys on Sunday.

Interesting mix away from what we have seen most of the season.

Lions: 15. Quan Horn, 14. Richard Kriel, 13. Henco van Wyk, 12. Marius Louw(c), 11. Edwill van der Merwe, 10. Gianni Lombard, 9. Sanele Nohamba, 8. Francke Horn, 7. Emmanuel Tshituka, 6. JC Pretorius ...

We are red, we are white, against Welsh sides we are dynamite.

Lions are starting to show maturity, if this squad can stick together for another 2 years I will be very chuffed.

Rain?

Holy mother of pearl. These “Ulster” commentators are dire. One eyed would imply they actually see something.

Boonop, skeidsregter was hondstront.

Well done Ireland, composure did it in the end.

As a Saffa, however, I need to hold on to some positivity.

Nr. 1 team in the world, at home, barely won against nr. 3, who, lets be honest, did not get out of second gear because of: no kicker, weird scrum decisions etc. etc.

Would you rather win a ...

All the hard defensive and forward graft let down by not being able to slot penalties and having a flash back three but no effective means of getting the ball to them. Oh, and trying an up and under game with midget chasers.

So Willemse is NOT the Messiah?

And that is how strongly I feel about it

Two marginal forward passes in the move leading to the penalty no?

Two marginal forward passes in the move leading to the penalty no?

Springbok commitment to physicality in defense is something else.

Sanity prevailed.

How is that grip on de Allende’s neck ok!

Congrats Stormers, little deflated, Lions did lots right.

23-10

Van Wyk you absolute beauty!

7-6, game on.

6-0 Lions, started like a house on fire. How good is van Wyk!

Stormers by 3. Can’t wait to be wrong.

Lions for Saturday.

Lions: 15. Andries Coetzee, 14. Edwill van der Merwe, 13. Henco van Wyk, 12. Marius Louw, 11. Quan Horn, 10. Gianni Lombard, 9. Sanele Nohamba, 8. Francke Horn, 7. Ruan Venter, 6. Emmanuel Tshituka, 5. Reinhard Nothnagel (c), 4. Willem Alberts, 3. Ruan Dreyer, 2. Jaco Visagie, 1 ...

Well, bucking the trend, I guarantee the Lions will play ALL their Bok players.

Well, that was poor by Edinburgh. Tried to be too clever and never really hit their straps.

The Lions on the other hand wanted it more, and just kept harrying Edinburgh until they made mistakes and got desperate.

We sit in front of the away coaches. One of the Lions was nearly in tears. I was ...

Looks like the run of wins for SA teams ends this round. :sad:

At least the Lions aren’t the weak link. Wink wink.

Who are you and why do you have the moer in for innocent Os?

‘Cause I miss insightful commentary on how the autumn will go in the Ukraine. For rugby insight we’ll channel ...

Selecting 10’s on their particular skillsets makes sense, Not sure how I feel about selecting my flyhalf based on the ground to be played on and how good his last surgeon was.

Komaaan die leeus! Maak dit een vir die onderste honde!

Missed the last 5 minutes live because, barking dogs (en oppie plaas gaan luister jy) and a mother of a puffadder on the stoep, aggro as hell (paste tense must have been hungry).

All in all. Not bad Lions. Now either the Sharks or ...

Komaaan die leeus! Maak dit een vir die onderste honde!

Huge, huge ballas. will it last?

Good value to the home side. Not over though.

Try time. Aaand action!

Never knew Skinstad was Scottish.

Rooibontes! Solid win away from home. Some might refer to the unfancied Lions as operating under the radar. I call it stealth.

Scumbaggery, what a wanker.

Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Did I mention Deon?

Congats Stormers, fantastic, after the first twenty I thought the outcome was certain. Bulls? What went wrong? Thought they had the the Stormers sorted, but the fightback was real.

Next season Lions. You know it.

Wow. The Bulls have been huge all along. Body language from Dobson after the first half showed he knew they were in trouble. What changed?

I really wish we could get some consistency in our local scrumhalves.

This season Zak Burger and Morne vd Berg have been the standouts by some margin, but there's not guarentee they won't also be one-season-wonders.

In 2019 it Jantjies and Nohamba were all the rage, in 2020 it was Jaden ...
