Minnie had a huge impack off the bench.
Man of the Match – Franco Mostert
Lions had a strong last 20min, Kings looked good at stages, but as always not good enough
@pierre_mackie (Comment 19) : The current disease in SA rugby
PROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINCE!!!!!!!!!! 😈
@pierre_mackie (Comment 35) : The Lions lacked leadership. No offence to Mapoe but when Minnie came on the Lions looked more composed and settled. Britz also did not have a good game and Coetzee could not get his backline going
