RUGBY: Lions supporters thread !

[Devill]

Congrats to all the Lions fans.

I backed the WP on superbru but I am very happy the Lions won.

Please beat the Sharks next weekend

 

[DWPTA]

I would love to go to the final, but I hear that the cost might be prohibitively expensive. Anyone know the prices?

Please be patient. It's been 9 years since they last had to run such a logistic. Prices will probably be out later this morning.

Tickets are available

Computicket CC Final 2011

 

[Pitbull]

I wish with all my heart the Lions win this coming weekend.

I have however bet R 250 on the Sharks to win the Currie Cup. If the Lions pull this off, it will be the best R 250 loss ever

At 12:30pm, watch the U/19 MTN Golden Lions take on the Blue Bulls in the U/19 Absa Currie Cup Final, and at 2:30pm the U/21 Bulls and Sharks will take to the field for the U/21 Absa Currie Cup Final.

Yup even if they lose the guys who got them there deserve to play.

Sharkies going to get pomped today. Springboks don't mean shyte, look at last week .

 

[BeVonk!]

One trophy in the bag ... u/19. Excellent season already. Now for the final! Things are looking way better at the Lions already.

 

[Creag]

Definitely more red here today. My black is a wee bit outnumbered. But these two... :wtf:

 

[ponder]

Congratulations guys!

 

[Zyzzyva]

Unbelievable. Mitchell is showing people what a real coach can do with our talent. Makes you wonder what we could achieve if we had better coaches throughout the country.

Outstanding LIONS!! Well done!!

 

[SlowInternet]

Well done boys, we are the CHAMPS !!!

After two years of being ridiculed for wearing the red & white, it feels good to have the Lions team live up to the potential many of us knew they always had.

Two years?? It's been twelve years for some of us

Well done to the kicker for the lions and a well deserved man of the match.

I was fence-sitting for many years. When I finally decided to commit, I looked for a team that was struggling, but trying to play positive rugby. The Lions ticked all boxes. I just didn't want to be yet another Bulls supporter. It's easy to support winners, but it's the up and coming teams that need the support the most.

No worries brother... Spent most of the last ten years saying: "Well I'm really a Lions man but I'm shouting for the Bulls 'cos they're also from the Vaal." Not today Woody, not today.

Gracious in defeat... well played Golden Lions on an excellent Currie Cup campaign.

Deserved winners.

My team were well and truly reamed today!!!!
