Tough to pick a winner in the wet Lions Western Province. Pumas Griquas will be close. Bulls Cheetahs are always hard comes CC but will go with the Bulls

HT: Pumas 15-7 Griquas

ZuluBoy · Post by **ZuluBoy** » Sat Dec 05, 2020 1:41 am

Pumas 22 - 17 Griquas a bit lucky as Griquas wasted 2 or 3 scoring opportunities.
What I observed in the wet is the frontrow power is neutralized and the weight from the locks brings advantage. The Pumas lock and Captain Le Roux Roets is a heavy big man and once the weight moves scrumtime behind the Pumas frontrows in the wet they pushed Griquas back whereas on a dry field it could have turned out the other way
Good attacking play from both sides. Jimmy's experiment with Williams on 10 turned out a success

Lions Well Done! 66m and in the wet! Swanepoel kick like a mule. He also kicked a 57m ans the winning 3 pointer. Pienaar caught WP napping Great Try! Senatla scored a great try for WP and his injury was a setback. The scrums with all that weight on the wet surface was a gamble penalty wise. Lions are back in the hunt!

One of the reasons I like Elton Jantjies. He could have taken the match winner in front of the posts himself but gave it to Tiaan

Also good decision from him to go for the drop at the end as he already had the penalty. Yip it was un selfish

“We got absolutely massacred injury-wise during the game,”Dobson said.

“We had three or four concussions, we have a bloke or two in hospital.

“At half-time, I think there were two fit forwards of the original starting eight.

“[Starting hooker] Bongi [Mbonambi] and [replacement] Scarra [Siyabonga Ntubeni] and got knocks,” the coach said, adding: “I’m not sure what the diagnoses are.

“Neethling Fouche is in hospital with a concussion.

“[Lock] Salmaan Moerat got concussed.

“Trokkie [Juarno] Augustus was concussed and has a neck strain.

“[Wing] Seabelo Senatla injured his on his MCL.”
