Lovely stuff from Ireland, giving England a proper thrashing.

Wales is doing better than expected today against Scotland, interesting.

Yip, especially at Twickenham.

Wow, didn't expect for England to get thumped like that.
Good win for my Lions against the Tunas

I see Hanekom is back in the mix. Do we know how his recovery is progressing?

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

Seeing that list, barring that moeraat muppet, gets me excited for our upcoming games. Can't wait.

Take a look at this video, 'hanekom cameron injury update' https://share.google/WQRCWCRPl1BFuln2n

I mentioned this before but it's worth repeating.

The brain drain affecting South Africa is prevalent in all sectors of society. That includes the sports rehabilitation sector. From surgeons, to biokineticist, to physiotherapists.

 

[sand_man]

Well done Lions. Felt like 13 v 19 at times, yet they won relatively comfortably. Some of those yellow cards? F uck me, what a circus the sport has become?!!

Worst game I've ever seen from Sacha since his pro career began. It's fine....

 

[Speedster]

Sharks guys, can anyone let me know how/why your coaches keep picking Jaden?

Won't be picking him again this season. You happy now?

Thank you. Much appreciated

Lekker win for the Lions over the Stormers. Bulls look in good form. Sharks were poor.

 

[Pegging]

I haven’t seen the Stormers this kuk since the last time they were this kuk.

Agree. Only thing that was working properly were their scrum. Sasha had a particular off day.

You lie. He'll be back in a couple of weeks:

Surprised. The attention he was getting, I thought it might be terminal. Also I thought it was Jan Hendrick he was tackling when he got injured?
