What happened to the revival?

@robdylan (Comment 5) : I’ve been watching little bits of this game and the Lions don’t look too flash hey..
Jantjes is having a decent game back from that broken leg..
it’s that blerrie de Waal vuilbaard kicking the hapless Snoil to pieces
WP 19 – 0 Lions

Lions are pretty pathetic.
Really not helped by the likes of Kruger, Delport and a number of Vodacom Cup standard players.
WP 27 – 0 Lions

De Waal 6 out of 7 kicks at goal
53 minutes
No seriously, Kruger should retire.
@Big Fish (Comment 11) : Agreed!! They should rather get Pretoors back!! lol
@ Big Fish, and he is a former Sharks
@Charlie (Comment 13) : Glad we got rid of him when we did!!
Well WP are playing well but DAMN the Lions are average!!
Elton Jantjies looks quite good. Can’t believe he was used as a scapegoat for the SA U20′s average World Champs display!
WP 32 – 0 Lions
FULL TIME
Oh whoopee!
Two very bad aspects of this game…
The LIONS were nowhere and not in the game…
WP were poor cozz they could not score 4 against such a poor team…
@wpw (Comment 16) :
Well he did not look good in this game at all…but that is understandable as he is only 19…what is Herkie Krugers excuse…
LIONS do not have a fly-half at all for this CC…
Elton a prospect for the future…they should nurture him….
They being the LIONS of cozz….
Now what the hell happened Snoils wining and then back to your old losing tricks again
