The best Lions team this year, going be a big game for them.

What a team of no name hacks. They have no chance.

And on the Reds team - looks like Byrnes has been given the flick after signing with the Rebels.

 

[tranquility]

ha ha. I do rate the lion hearted skipper Grobbelaar though.

 

[PaarlBok]

Hope you two dont disappear if the Lions reams the Reds on saturday. :fishing

Agreed. Surely, given the injury to Brussow, he would be in the frame to be the Springbok openside this year.

A genuine fetcher added so much more depth to their game last year. I wouldn't imagine they would go back to the two blindsiders approach unless necessary.

Then again picking between Juan and Schalk would be a nightmare.

 

[PaarlBok]

Dont forget Wikus van Heerden and the young Minnie. Myself see Wikus play perfect with the new rulings and Minnie to, this three can be lethal together on the ground and at the breakdowns.

 

[spectator]

We ignore Paarl's bleatings at our own peril. The Lions will be up for this match.

Good for you, PB. Great recovery from last weekend's floggings. Not quite at your pre-games belligerent best yet.

 

[Newb]

la grange is the key to their backfield attack. he's a slippery one and always looking to get the hands free in the tackle. stifle him and they should be well contained. a Fainga'a seems the man for the job.

the lions are never short on effort and shouldn't be completely discounted. give them a sniff and they'll get their tails up.

 

[PaarlBok]

If my memory dont serve me wrong Biff declare the Reds dead after round 1, Reddy calls the Lions no name hacks, Ive learn over the years writting any S14 team off beforehand can bite ya!

[Sully]

Thank you. Brilliant as usual. Just 1 question how do I make the second page print the right way up in duplex printing?

 

[RugbyReg]

fucked if I know!

Don't think that's a team of "no names", but I don't recognise many of those names and I would think it is comprised half of "no names" - at least to most Super rugby fans. Not that there's anything wrong with being a team of mostly "no names" - most talents were "no names" at one stage or another to everyone but close followers of the team they start out with. Unfortunately though, this Lions team hasn't shown much this year and I think will really struggle against the Reds after just returning from a poor tour.

Grobelaar, Vermaak and van Heerden are all very handy, but I have doubts over van Heerden as it is his first game back from the NH and he may struggle to fit into the Lions team initially. I wouldn't expect much from him for a few games.

Clever is maybe a bit unlucky to be dropped. Rotation or otherwise?

 

[PaarlBok]

Nope, no rotation, 5 s14 players had been dropped to the Vodacom (inc Rose) and replaced by form Vodacom players (inc Wikus) who has whipped Griquas, last year Voda champs in the 40s in the last round.

No name or unknown to most Aussies but at home the Lions will be a totally different team, geuss we,ll wait and see if Muir can turn them around.

 

[Ruggo]

We ignore Paarl's bleatings at our own peril. The Lions will be up for this match.

Could not agree more. I can't help remember when the Lions played the Cheifs. I can't also forget us taking them for granted last year and losing in Brisbane. The game can be won, but by no means is it in the bag.

I did not!!

 

[PaarlBok]

Komaan Biffy, Oom Paarl know you to well.

I did not say the Lions will beat the Reds but I wont under estimate them at home. Know they are under huge pressure and desperate for a win.

Sorry that you are so sensitive towards your precious lion cubs, but you should check out the facts:

5th vs Last.
2nd best defence vs worst.
One of the best (proven) attacks, vs an attack that is not polished.
Known players vs no name hacks.

This is going to be the most one sided game in Super rugby history, with the Reds strolling into the top 4 with a bonus point win. This is fact, and not a possibility.

[TOCC]

anything less then a bonus point win for the Reds would be a dissapointment
