Haul out the tired old “cat fight” cliché one more time…Ok, so it’s simple. The Lions need to stuff the useless Leopards to keep the pressure on Free State and Griquas.
They’ve picked a weakened side, but will still win comfortably with a bonus point.
Ho hum. Except that Jaco Peyper is the ref, so there should be some entertainment at least.
Kick-off is whenever.

Goooooooo Leopards!!!
Go Leopards!! Only because a hell of a lot of people will die or lose a life on LMS if the Lions lose. Thus far 3 people picked Boland
go Lions, just cos the Cheetahs irritate me and I’d love them to miss the semis
17-3 Lions
24-6 half time. 4 tries already. Leopards are a JOKE
@robdylan (Comment 5) : Boland even more so IMO

@JarsonX (Insomniac) (Comment 6) : they’re equally bad
