Match 106 - Lions vs Stormers - LionsWorld Forum

Daar is GEEN manier hoe Elton die bok span sal haal op sy huidige vorm, Bosch, Willemse, Du Plessis, Robert Du Preez en selfs Libbok is beter. Giaani Lombaardt het baie goed gelyk teen die Chiefs en ek dink hy is ons toekoms.

Could personally not care less who gets the Bok call-up at 10. All the South African no 10s have been pretty average the past two years. Think we lost the game against the Sharks when the team selection was announced. The intercepts were just the results of the Lions backs trying to force the game against a good defense after the forwards were outmatched for most of the game.

There was not much in the game, but I do think when it came to absorbing and applying pressure close to the goal line, their pack had the edge. They were also dominant in the scrums for large parts of the game. Our best attacking moves came from our backs, including great interplay between Jantjies and Mapoe for the first, as well as a lovely long range try. The two intercepts (especially the second), could just as well have resulted in treis for us.

I don't understand that 2nd intercept,

Mapimpi was clearly in the line of pass, so he was seriously exposed, a little grubber and we would have scored. Or just hold on to the ball, the pass was just not on.

He is brilliant or bad, that little pass to Mapoe for the first try was a beaut

Against the highlanders he was on fire.

Its frustrating , or maybe it is what it is, when you have a running fly half then there will always be risks taken , some work , some dont

Die Leeus is Saterdag sonder hul mees ervare SuperRugby-speler en voorste puntemaker in SuperRugby, Elton Jantjies wanneer hulle in Emirates Airlinepark teen die Stormers te staan kom.

Jantjies, wie reeds 1078 punte in 119 wedstryde vir die Leeus aangeteken het, het spanprotokol verbreek en is nie vir die naweek oorweeg nie.

Jantjies het vanjaar reeds 992 minute gespeel, dit wil sê meer as 16,5 uur se speeltyd. Mapoe is tweede met 881 en dan volg Malcolm Marx op 856, Marvin Orie op 830 en Andries Coetzee en Marnus Schoeman op 791 en 790 onderskeidelik.

Inteendeel Jantjies het al meer tyd agter die rug as enige ander Suid-Afrikaanse speler, met Makazole Mapimpi op 916, Lukhanyo Amm op 908 en Damien Willemse op 900

Sy plek word deur Shaun Reynolds ingeneem wie net die tweede keer in die kompetisie ‘n wedstryd sal begin nadat hy nege keer van die bank af gespeel het.

Jantjies het ook voorheen 13 keer in SuperRugby vir die Stormers uitgedraf.

Sy nie-beskikbaarheid en die feit dat Marnus Schoeman nie gekies is nie, bederf die Leeus se kanse om die Stormers die loef af te steek.

Die terugkeer van Malcolm Marx is egter ‘n reuse hupstoot. Hy spog steeds met die beste lynstaanpersentasie in die kompetisie (90%).

Daarby het hy die vierde meeste kere omkeerbesit bewerkstellig met nege gevolg deur Marnus Schoeman in vyfde plek op agt.

Carlu Sadie se terugkeer op vaskop is ook ‘n stap in die regte rigting.

Leeus teen Stormers: Andries Coetzee; Courtnall Skosan, Lionel Mapoe, Harold Vorster, Aphiwe Dyantyi; Shaun Reynolds, Ross Cronjé; Kwagga Smith, Vincent Tshituka, Cyle Brink, Marvin Orie, Stephan Lewies, Carlu Sadie, Malcolm Marx, Dylan Smith. Reserwes: Jan-Henning Campher, Sti Sithole, Johannes Jonker, Reinhard Nothnagel, Marnus Schoeman, Hacjivah Dayimani, Nic Groom, Tyrone Green.

Once a Lion always a lion

Probably our best side given the Jantjies and Whiteley unavailability.

Vermaak and Venter need to get opportunities as well, would have swapped them for Nohnagel and Dayimani

Span Protokol verbreek? Ek dog hy is siek, of is dit dalk wingerd griep?

DHL Stormers: 15 Damian Willemse, 14 Seabelo Senatla, 13 JJ Engelbrecht, 12 Damian de Allende, 11 Dillyn Leyds, 10 Josh Stander, 9 Herschel Jantjies, 8 Sikhumbuzo Notshe, 7 Johan du Toit, 6 Jaco Coetzee, 5 Cobus Wiese, 4 Eben Etzebeth, 3 Wilco Louw, 2 Scarra Ntubeni, 1 Steven Kitshoff (captain).
Replacements: 16 Chad Solomon, 17 Corne Fourie, 18 Frans Malherbe, 19 Ernst van Rhyn, 20 Marno Redelinghuys (DHL Stormers debut), 21 Justin Phillips, 22 Jean-Luc du Plessis, 23 Dan Kriel.

Lyk of die Stormers se agterlyn meer ondernemingsgees het as die van die Sharks. Daai no9 (Jantjies) lyk na 'n belowende opvolger vir Fav terwyl selfs ou DD geleer het om te pass.
