GO CHIEFS!!!!!!!!!!!!
No choice now for the mighty Waikato men… 5 points tonight! Watch out for the speedsters Sivivatu and Masaga orchestrated by Donald.
Let’s hope the Lions can trip them up…
Fresh news, Jano Vermaak won’t be playing, Chris Jonck will be at 9 with Freddie “Straatkat” van Zyl on the bench.
This is the smallest crowd at EPS this year… 😥
Barag – now we know where your allegiances lie… going to be a big build-up week coming up 😉 Expect plenty friendly ribbing
Are you at EPS Walter?
Doing commentary for us 😉
barag
Masaga and Donald in my FL. So i hope they score plenty, just hope the lions score MORE.
I’m at EPS but I do commentary on my own site

Jacque Fourie some great tackle breaks almost all of them high.
man he looked good there
Jaque looking good afer the long lay-off
KSA its good to see him back
a good win tonight will lift them out of 14th spot. lets hope that is enough incentive.
GO LIONS!!!!!!!!!!!
yeah and looking good right from the start is also great.
Shit but every game I’v watched this wekend the refs have all diff views at the break-down…no consistensy at all..most frickin frustrating
FIRST TIME TACKLE !
28
Most frustrating to me is the allowing the guys to go off their feet when joining rucks. 👿
How could the ref allow Donald to tackle Rose the second time there ingoal.
You HAVE to be on your feet to take part in the game
Luaki off that good be a blessing
Try Chiefs! 👿

Half Time
17-13 Lions
That was one of our best tries this season…
Sivivatu and Lauaki off injured. We are softening them up for you for next weekend!
My allegiance can vary somewhat. I knew you would love the avatar with the upcoming game next week…
I generaly support most NZ teams, Chiefs first. But I quite fancy the Stormers too… mainly for the quality players in the team and the rugby that they play.
those are 2 quality players off, we can win this game.
walter very good try, having J Fourie back is making a diff in the backline.
time on again
48
Thanks 😉
I would be VERY happy if either of Sivivatu or Lauaki is out next week. BOTH would just be too good to be true
PK Lions
Rose slots it.
20 – 13 Lions

It has to be said the Chiefs are playing shit.
Lions could be doing Sharks a huge favour here
55
Who cares how you win. i CERTAINLY don’t. 😉
GO LIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
😯 What was that from Rose
If we can win this and then take the Stormers next week I’ll be happy 😉
CSB
I will be JUST as happy. 😆
I think this is an either or thing for us and the Stormers this season
Cobus Grobelaar TRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Earl and he’s up and unders
Am I reading this correctly? 😛
Maybe Lions can still do us a BEEG favour. Take those Stormers next week!!
Now the million dollar Q? why play like this NOW.????

(Thanks CSB)
WTF was that from Alberts? Had men on the outside
Don’t kick the game away now guys.
pityful display by Chiefs…
OH MY WORD!!!!!!!!!!
I have just realised that hugh Bladen hasn’t done a game today. That means he will do the Stormers game 😳
KSA I know WTF…2 guys outside him…
1 black red card for stepping in the face of a Lions player.
Discipline costs. Masaga had scored and they had to be called back for the penalty and red card
go lions!!! Whoooohooooe!!!
Red Card..
That red will mean a suspension so another Chiefs player not playing the Sharks next week.
Now the lions need to make use of this win and get the BP.
If they win well (i think by 40 odd) they will have a better PD than the cheetahs and move off the bottom.
Back!! Getting into Mediazone again right now
true KSA then atleast we avoid a wooden spoon..who are the Cheetahs playing next week?
Hi Milissa
Rose puts a penalty over
30 – 13 Lions

So now we need Blues to beat Canes next week and make sure they don’t get BP. Stormers to beat Tahs today and then lose to Lions next week and of course us to whip Chiefs!!
Go lions! Magic magic magic!
What’s going on? Ksa?
Muliaina try

Chiefs are out of contention for finals now. Point difference is not important anymore…
Well done Lions. Deserved win.

Chiefs 7th
WELL DONE LIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!
And Thank You Lions!!!!!!!!!!!

How did Lions let Chiefs get a BP? 🙄
33-13 down with like 4 mins left!!
Another WOWOWOWOOOO ❗
Now go Stormers …. never thouhgt I would say that 😳
Pleasure!

Hapless chiefs get mawled by Lions. Only two last minute tries put any respectability on the score. They were outplayed and proved yet again that they are poor travellers. The Sharks are obviously hot favorites now to beat the Chiefs in Round 14 and qualify.
