Match 5 - Lions vs Griquas

Manne probeer nou baie hard maar hoekom so speel in die laaste 10 minute? Doen dit die hele donnerse game manne

Die vlagman het nou iets gesien teen ons maar waar was hy met die forward pass?

Dan knock ons die bal ...kort pass van Zeilinga na Dreyer wat nie die bal verwag nie

Gordon druk in die regterhoek vir ons, maar gaan niks beteken nie

Dreyer slaan weer aan maar gelukkig op voordeel

En dis dit, wat 'n verleentheid

Rasta het 3 Reise blapse gemaak, wat die verskil tussen wen en verloor kon beteken het.

Jordan se 2 strafskoppe wat hy agteruit geskop het, was ook crucial. Ons het die geleenthede geskep. Weereens was die afronding sub standaard.

How does Rasta keep getting away with openly screwing the Lions?? Two of the Griquas tries were forward passes, then he calls a knock on for one of our tries after the TMO clearly says "there is no evidence of a knock on", his on field decision was a try so that should've stood. Just those incidents are a 21 point swing. 

Maybe time to "Cash" out...

My question exactly. We were in the game for most of it despite the fact that we had made a lot of errors. I would say a combo of errors, together with pathetic officiating cost us the game. I don't believe the performance is the fault of the coaching team only. What I do blame on the coaches though, is team selection. 

It was difficult to watch. Poor decision making, poor execution and poor disciple. Don't blame rustiness, rustiness affects handing and timing not a complete lack of game plan. It is also easy to blame players and say they aren't good enough and so on...but how many of these players have pedigree (SA Schools, SA U20, Bok squads/training groups, super rugby experience)? We have seen it back in the mid to late 2000s, guys who were seen as not good enough moved union and suddenly were in the Bok mix. Player ability is not as big an issue as some think. Well drilled club and junior players will run a top team close.

Well said L13!
