The Lions head down to Potch Rustenburg in search of their first competitive win in the 2010 season.

The game is in Rustenburg not Potch
@walter van Lions World (Comment 3) : if it was the sharks playing Chaz would of been there
@walter van Lions World (Comment 3) : oh. oops 🙂
Our under 19’s won 25-22 but our under 21’s are trailing 14-6 at half time
@walter van Lions World (Comment 6) : eish. And you have the great Justin Botha at flyhalf… he was touted on various rugby blogs as the saviour of Sharks rugby not too long ago.
Now 17-9 for the Leopards U/21 after 48m
So is the Leopards home ground at Rustenberg…..at altitude
….what about the Pumas ! Altitude ❓
@walter van Lions World (Comment 8) : we’ll forgive you cos all your under 21s are playing for the Currie Cup side 🙂
@Hertford Highlander (Comment 9) : They split their games between Rustenburg and Potch
@robdylan (Comment 10) : Only 2 in the starting XV
Latest in the U/21 game, Leopards 22, Lions 9
Latest in the U/21 game, Leopards 29, Lions 9
@walter van Lions World (Comment 11) : Learning saw Rustenburg when the BI Lions visited.
…..and the Pumas….whos the weaker side ❓
@Hertford Highlander (Comment 15) : They are about the same…Pumas supposed to be weaker as they only got promoted to the top section at the end of last season so it’s their first season back in top Currie Cup section
But the Pumas beat the Lions in a warmup match 2 weeks ago….
@walter van Lions World (Comment 17) : Really….
….. i’m sure Mitchell can make an impact with the Lions. I use to hear that he was a bit of an idiot when he coached the AB’s.
…but i think he has done an admirable job this year with the Force.
….i have included a couple of them in my FL Side that’s how confident i am 😎
Force finished 13th…what’s admirable about that?
Latest in the U/21 game, Leopards 36, Lions 9 😈
Final score in the U/21 game, Leopards 36, Lions 16
@walter van Lions World (Comment 19) : They had a bad string of injuries well terrible really.
But they played some excellent footy at the tail end of the season when they got their first stringers back.
