Rainbow Cup - Match 5 - Lions vs Sharks

Rabz, hoe goed hy ookal die afgelope weke gespeel het, is duidelik bang vir Mapimpi.

Ai...Sharks het ons verseker uitoorle in die wedstryd, veral daai laaste drie was slim en wys dat ons spelers nie lekker dink op die veld nie

Really pathetic defensive effort, 1st time tackles cost us.

A sudden flare-up when the guys play brilliant rugby, and the next minute they collapse to a standard that can only be termed as mediocre. During the first 15 minutes of the match, the Lions dominated completely, when suddenly the lights went out. A Sharks team (that was not even at full strength) took total control in every facet of the game. Why.. how?! For starters, our line-outs were poor.. to put it mildly. Despite our top class forwards, our scrums were definitely not in full control either. One can only speculate, but in my humble opinion I believe the problem lies in coaching and fitness. In the past it was predictable to see the Lions dominating the last 20 minutes – especially when playing a coastal side like the Sharks or Stormers. Contrary to that, we are now witnessing a Lions team that seems to fade in the last quarter of the match. We’ve said this many times before, but with the talent at our disposal, this is highly questionable. What on earth has gone wrong at the GLRU? Compared to our recent game against the Bulls, It’s like taking two steps forward, and three steps back.  Let’s compare it to cooking: If I give you all 28 the ingredients to make perfect Madras curry, but I don’t give you the recipe plus the correct chronological order, method and sequence to prepare and follow meticulously, it’s bound to turn out a flop. So, acquiring and combining all the best talent in the country won’t get you anywhere if you do not have a highly experienced chef "cooking it to perfection". Which poses another argument: “Too many cooks spoil the broth”. Isn’t our coaching staff a bit over-loaded? This might sound over-simplified, although I believe it’s a valid argument worth considering.  Summary: There were periods when the Lions displayed some excellent skills, and looked extremely dangerous. Nothing wrong there, except that they consistently alternate that with some really foolish basic mistakes that makes them look totally helpless. We simply have to find a way where we can sustain the quality of play we are capable of. First time tackles, and senseless kicks up-field still remain a problem that needs urgent attention. C'mon Lions - you're much better than this! **Soli Deo Gloria**  /  **LIONS4LIFE**

Ja, maar mens kan seker verstaan as mense moan. Hoewel die span besig is om te groei, maak dit mens die moer in dat spelers soos Willem Alberts sulke beenkop foute maak, wat op die einde die verskil tussen wen en verloor kon wees. Hy is nie die enigste een nie. Ons lynstane het gelyk of die ouens nie eers geoefen het nie. Ek was self n haker en het maar klubrugby gespeel, maar ek het elke aand na werk my ingooie gaan oefen. Ek het n merk teen my pa se stoor se muur gemaak, en 100 gooie gegooi. Ek het die heeltyd vinnige balle (soos wat jy op jou no 2 springer gooi) en loops (soos wat jy op die middel springer gooi), en lang gooie, soos wat jy agter in die lynstaan gooi afgewissel. Maandae en Donderdae aande het ons by die rugby oefening, nadat almal klaar geoefen het, die hele pak voorspelers ekstra lynstane geoefen, totdat ons teverede was dat ons ons timing reg het.

Ek ook, met rede.

Hy was baie beter toe hy begin het. Ek dink hy probeer te hard om te veel van 'n impak te maak as plaasvervanger en dan begaan hy foute.

Ja, maar ons was oppad om te gaan score, want ons het baie meer spelers op die voorvoet gehad as wat hulle defenders gehad het, plus ons het n vinnige bal gekry. Dit sou ons binne trefafstand geplaas het. Daai strafskop het die laaste bietjie wind uit die manne se seile gehaal.

Jy is eintlik reg ja. Die lynstane en rucks was waar ons die game verloor het. Ek wou net my beste broek bek@k oor hy sulke stront aanjaag terwyl ons op pad doellyn toe is.
