Last week I mentioned that I was going to watch the Lions at Ellis Park. Man, what a match it was!!! It was so exciting, and so nerve-wrecking, that I was sitting on the edge of my seat for most of the 80 minutes! I screamed, I cursed, I waved the flag, and I ended up with a headache of note, but it was all worth it in the end. I even got a hug from Ferdi in the end - I just had to let him hug me - CAUSE THE LIONS WON!! Yes, they beat the Sharks, by just one point, but so what - WE WON!!!
The atmosphere at the stadium was amazing. At the end of the match the team came to our side and saluted us, and Wikus van Heerden, who deservedly got the man of the match award, thanked the crowd as well.
The Lions dominated most of the match, though during the last 15 minutes they were one point behind the Sharks and were giving it all they had. Two attempts at the try-line were disallowed by the TMO, then the Sharks scored another try and all hope of winning seemed lost. That's until reserve Grant Esterhuyzen scored the winning (gasp) try and the replacement flyhalf, Mark Harris, converted. Phew! What a close call!
I am proud of the boys and hope that they can take it all the way!! GO LIONS!!
As for the rest of the weekend, there is just no point in talking about it, this was the highlight.

Yawn!!!
I was sitting on my couch and watching Noot vir Noot! Would rather pick my nails than watch the two kakest team fight for last place!! LOL!
You are so so so sad. At least they are not as kak as the Bulls.
Cheap tactics! Typical of a Lions supporter. Oh wait. You learn that from your kak team!!
Need I remind you that the Lions beat the Bulls, AT LOFTUS, a few weeks ago?
Yeah. We all know that by now. Im sure there are guys in Turkey that now about it. The lions (or wussy's in my opinion) win one game against the Bulls and they think they are the best in the world all of a sudden.
Hey, we never said we are the best in the world (unlike the Bulls, who seem to think they are)but I sure would love to see the Lions go all the way this time, like any fan would!
LOL!!!!!!!!!!
