Lions v All Blacks

Should be a fun one.

I think the Lions actually have a very outside chance of doing well here. They're missing Crappies, Venter and Mills so they won't help but they're much closer to their full strength side than the other franchises have been.

Haka time...Mahashe is defos getting into a fight tonight

Hey Richie the DDA nightmare is playing. Sweet. And the Tawwenaai as well.

Early mistake from the ABs kicking directly into touch...

Hotham with a great start as he plonks the boxie straight out.

Haha, Lions gonna run them. Love it. Check that ball over the top by my Temu Hero dude!

ABs with a defensive scrum on their 5m

Not much grunt for the Lions in the pick and goes there and they nearly concede a turnover.

Leeus!

Easy as you like the Lions control the set piece and strike right under the posts though Nico Stey

LOL, Temu on the crash ball anytime as good as DDA. What a dummy by Nico Steyn, he even fooled me, I didn't have a clue what happened there before the replay. 7-0 Lions.

Hahaha and Mahashe with the intercept and they score again. I think this try will stand...

14-0 Lions

Maak allie leeus somme bokke.

Man, the Lions playing like this is my rugby happy place.

And now Batho knocks the kickoff! Dammit

LOL, Hotham having a nightmare. Siba over with the intercept.

Dammit! The ABs hit back with a pick and go

14-7

Henko shows how you deal with Richie.

Some powderpuff tackling from Smith and Steyn on Narawa and ABs score.

Mahashe is 100% gonna fight tonight

Lions will have to get to the breakdowns much faster.

Why did the Lions go for 3 there?

I'd have taken the territory instead

Quan with a great tackle there

Rieko fooling Temu and makes good yards.

Richie kicks the penalty dead. Flakes of rust floating down at his feet.

Bad mistake by Quan! That's a huge net loss

That's was some scramble defence haha

Quan with two excellent tackles in that sequence

Temu mailing Tawwenaai with a good low tackle.

Great tackle by Quan there, holy shit.

Lions starting to creak though, not dealing too well with the ABs attacking structures.

Temu 12 is on fire hahaha

Egh, and Oosthuizen the only lock with a little grunt is off and a rookie is on.

Great clearance Smith after well set up by Temu.

FFS Chris Smit kicking for not reason at all

Tawwenaai only running when Temu is not in sight.

Cronje jou fokken yster!!!

He got then right out of jail with that

Batho's attempted "tackle" on Tawwenaai there earlier about says it all. So lazy.

Lions doing the kicking shit now.

I hate box kicking so damn much

Beautiful by Beauden, running into the space between two defenders and offloading to the man outside.

Hope the Lions don't shrink their game now, they just gotta keep pushing.

I don't know how the Lions are in the lead lol
