Can Lions Rugby sink any deeper?
If so then they are going to the right place for that to happen. The Lions will be taking on the Griquas in Kimberley this afternoon and if they lose there is a ready made hole for them to crawl into.
The Griquas have a reputation for killing big teams in Kimberley, the Lions are not a big team so they may be safe.

Go Kwasse!! 😀
LIONS….I don’t care if you have 15 players playing their 3rd CC game…show some character….PLEASE…
Jano takes toooooo long to clear the ball..
Herkie tooo useless……
And Waylon is a waste of a 100kgs….
Viljoen of the Griekwas kicks the ball 70 meters, the commentators response was “just shows how stiff the wind is” and then when Herkie kicks at goal for LIONS they show the wind is in his back!??!
Only just watched about 5 min of this game.
The Griquas #9 is quite useful.
Griquas 13 – 17 Lions
53min
Trevor hall on
No change in score but griquas look to be threatening the Lions Line all the time.
Bjorn Basson keeps his record of scoring in every game of the year intact.
Griquas TRY!!!!!!!
How much time left?
Olivier slots the conversion from the touchline with the wind blowing into his face.
Griquas 20 – 17 Lions

🙂 Oh i see you picked WP. 🙂
@KSA Shark © (Comment 16) :
Would love to know what the picks would have been just one season ago.
The Lions really have plummeted in performances over the last year. 🙁
lol, Is it all Griguas at the moment?
@flop (Comment 15) :
A Lions win would also make me happy from a LMS point of view. 😈
I love seeing losses on LMS. 😆
@flop (Comment 20) :
Lions get into the Griquas 22 all the time but then cock something up for the griquas to get out.
Lions Just Penalised for side entry at a maul in the Griquas 22
@KSA Shark © (Comment 21) :
Especially if it is me !
Geel gives away a PK just outside his 22 for a deliberate knock down.
Kruger goes for goal and slots it.

@Hertford Highlander (Comment 23) :

If the result stays close to this i may improve my 73rd placing on Superbru 🙄
Maul 15m from the Lions line and Mokuena gives away a PK for hanging on to Bassons neck.
Griquas slot the PK

@KSA Shark © (Comment 25) :
Of course not what sort of defending champ would do that !
Sharks for me this round ! 😉
@Hertford Highlander (Comment 26) :
@Hertford Highlander (Comment 28) : 😛 😛
come on lions
Sarel pretorius does VERY well to gather a kick and get enough yards on the board before being tackled on his 10m line then his mates join from the wrong side to give the lions a PK.
They go at goal and miss.
@Hertford Highlander (Comment 26) :
I’m in 19th. 😉
@KSA Shark © (Comment 32) :

No incorrect picks on LMS for this game.
@Hertford Highlander (Comment 47) :
I wonder what airline Mitchell flew with?
He should sue them, his luggage with that winning culture hasn’t arrived yet. i think it is lost permanently.
I predicted 7 points for the griquas in superbru, so all ok i suppose
