So the fourth game of the day has the Force hosting the Lions, and this should be an interesting scrap at the bottom of the log…
I’ve lost most reader already. In a day with six matches, this might be the one you skip in order to go do some shopping, refill the beer and biltong stock or maybe even mow the lawn.
Both teams are crap, this will only indicate which is actually worse, and nobody really cares anyway.

Come on Lions. Go klap the Force
Let’s hope the Lions can keep the handling errors in the single digits today
Biggest joke of the season. Aussie commentators said the Lions have some pace out wide. Have they SEEN Deon van Rensburg? My grandmother is faster

Aussie commentators are Freaking idiots!
The Lions were great the opening 10min but terrible the last 20
I got 5 from 5 and 4 margin points 😎
Surely the Kings can´t be worse than this lot. Poor John Mitchell went from the frying pan into the fire when he took on the Lions job. Now holds the Super rugby record as worst coach.
man, how CRAP is this side?
@robdylan (Comment 38) :
I think only the Rebels and Force maiden Super Rugby teams were worse….and they had the excuse that it their first years…lol
This side is an embarrassment for rugby…for South Africa…and for humans in general…
@rhineshark (Comment 37) :
Unfortunately they are…they lost 80 – 3 to this Lions side…
How terrible are they…
