Match 120 - Bulls vs Lions - LionsWorld Forum

So 1 BP plaas ons 7de, 'n wen behoort ons 5de te plaas, geen BP en ons eindig 9de

Following the results from this morning, we need at least one point from tomorrow`s game or we`ll be out.

Hmm, definitief meer jonges in daai span..

The Emirates Lions made four changes for the all-important Vodacom Super Rugby clash with the Vodacom Bulls at Loftus on Saturday.

In their last match of the regular season Elton Jantjies comes in at centre, Hacjivah Dayimani starts at eight in the place of the injured Kwagga Smith, Rhyno Herbst returns to action to resume his lock partnership with Marvin Orie while Tyrone Green gets the nod at wing.

Reinhard Nothnagel and Courtnall Skosan drop to the bench, Dillon Smit is drafted into the match 23, as is Wandisile Simelane.

The Emirates Lions ended off their week of preparation with a Fan Fest signing session at Emirates Airline Park on Friday afternoon.

Kick-off is at 17:15.

Emirates Lions vs Vodacom Bulls: Andries Coetzee; Tyrone Green, Lionel Mapoe, Elton Jantjies, Aphiwe Dyantyi; Shaun Reynolds, Ross Cronje; Hacjivah Dayimani, Vincent Tshituka, Cyle Brink, Marvin Orie, Rhyno Herbst, Carlu Sadie, Malcolm Marx ©, Dylan Smith. Reserves: Jan-Henning Campher, Nathan McBeth, Johannes Jonker, Reinhard Nothnagel, Marnus Schoeman, Dillon Smit, Wandisele Simelane, Courtnall Skosan

Highlanders het mos nou gewen met 'n BP so dit beteken ons MOET die bulle klop?

haha, there are never any guarantees.

But there is mathematical probability , if the probability is higher taking one route vs another then thats the route I would take.

I don't see it as an ethical thing at all, you make your own luck....

We must give ourselves the best shot of a semi final and final.

Playing the canes and then Saders or vise versa (finishing 5th or 8th), is a death sentence.

We must aim for 6th or 7th and all of a sudden we are in with a realistic shot. I back us to beat the Jags or brumbies in Quarter and semi finals.

If we have a "Choice" and results go our way, then I would do whatever it takes to be 6th or 7th

Sorry but I don't agree. It goes against my morals to throw a game just to have an easier route to the final. And there is no guarantee that we will beat either the Brumbies or the Jags. And even if we do, the semi and finals will then most probably be in NZ.

We have been mediocre this season, just making it to the knockout rounds will be good enough for me.

So dit lyk asof ons terughou met span aankondiging want daar word eers gekyk na Vrydag (vandag) se uitslae. Wen Chiefs en Highlanders sonder BP is ons klaar deur...dws niks keer ons om ‘n verswakte span na Loftus te stuur.

Ek glo nie die Aussies gaan die nz spanne uithou....maar dinge kan interresant raak. As dit wel so uitwerk kan ons dinge manipuleer dat ons eerder Arg toe gaan as Wellington toe.

Weet nie of ons krediet verdien omdat ons actually daaroor dink en of ons dalk eerder kritiek verdien omdat ons dalk iets tegnies oneties beplan...

Wat dink julle?

Hmm, ek hoop nie dit is wat hulle doen nie.. Hulle sal darem BAIE stupid lyk as ons die game teen die bulls gooi, Arg toe reis en daar ook n moerse pakslae kry!! Jy moet speel om ELKE wedstryd te wen!

Ja jammer span word eers Vrydag aangekondig vir die een

If WW is ready I would change my loosies from

6. Venter

7. Tshituka

8. Brink

to

6. Brink

7. Tshituka

8. WW

And give Venter a run from the bench

I am a nervous wreck jumping from 1 site to another with no luck! When are they announcing the team? D

Maybe we have some more injury concerns.. Maybe we are playing mind games? Maybe we are sending them the points?

I hope that they have a big announcement later.. perhaps more signings?
