Kings 2 points behind the "mighty" Sharks.

Where do you guys watch the games that Supersport do not broadcast?

Last week the WP / Pumas game and tomorrow the Bulls vs EP Kings clash is not being broadcast live?

Thanks

Unless Supersport broadcast them later, then you'll probably find they were never going to be televised (and as such, didn't have a broadcast team at the stadium anway).

Try!

Hope they don't open the door in the second but, yeah, those boys in blue look a little shell shocked. Great play from 1 to 15 and HOW if Kriel not in a green jumper??

EDIT: Fantastic watching these line breaks by, well everyone... And a loosie passing to a lock for a 40 meter try like they were a center and a wing is something else.

WP can't tackle, poor display. They even decided to kick up a sevens game nearing the end. Quite enterprising, both sides.
 
36 - 20 at half time. Just switched on and as a WP supporter... hmm...

Yep, seven tries in the first 40. That last Province try was a little soft from the Lions defense, but they look good overall. Their attacking is a joy to watch 'tho and I'm also pleased they're getting go-forward ball from the scrum.
 
Yeah, we pretty much screwed. At least the Proteas beat India, so this weekend isn't a total loss!
