The Lions can't even get a consolation score, as Lionel Mapoe knocks the ball on with the line in sight. That's FULL-TIME here in Durban. Join us next week for more action for the Rugby Championship and Currie Cup |
78 |
The Sharks are chasing the bonus point, but a knock-on 10m out robs them of the chance .. for now at least |
77 |
Still the Lions are playing brain-dead rugby - trying to run it out of their 22 in Sevens style and not finding touch when they win penalties. |
74 |
Now Hendrik Roodt knocks the ball on after about 10 phases. He has cost his team dearly - probably the match, with his lack of discipline and shocking skills |
71 |
The Lions still putting in the effort, but some of their heads are starting to hang. They are not out of it, but need a score quickly |
69 |
The Lions have a mountain to climb, but their execution has been poor all game. They are making life decidedly unpleasant for themselves |
66 |
Meyer Bosman adds the CONVERSION - 30-14 |
65 |
TRY - Jean Deysel brushes off a few tacklers and then barges over for a crucial try. |
63 |
Butch James, on the angle, slots the CONVERSION and the Lions are back in the game - 14-23 |
62 |
TRY - Cobus Grobbelaar goes over for the Lions' second try, at the back of a very strong maul. |
60 |
Penalty to the Lions, who opt for a line-out and then a free kick for numbers against the Sharks at the line-out |
58 |
Meyer Bosman slots the CONVERSION and now the Sharks have a commanding lead - 23-7 |
57 |
TRY - Odwa Ndungane is over on the right as the Sharks start to run the Lions ragged. |
54 |
The Lions still their own worst enemies - with another line-out throw not straight and handing the ball back to the Sharks |
51 |
Meyer Bosman, from the touchline, adds the CONVERSIONS and the Sharks have a healthy lead - 16-7. |
50 |
TRY - This time S'bura Sithole makes amends as he steps around Lionel Mapoe to score in the left corner. |
48 |
S'bura Sithole butchers another try as he puts the ball down cold with an open tryline in front of him |
46 |
The Sharks looking to make their numerical advantage count, but a knock-on ends a promising move just inside the Lions' half |
44 |
Meyer Bosman, from right in front, slots the PENALTY and the Sharks lead - 9-7 |
43 |
Early penalty against the Lions - Josh Strauss the culprit |
41 |
The second half is underway. |
40 |
Riaan Viljoen can't find the distance with his penalty shot and Butch James hacks the ball into touch as the hooter for HALF-TIME goes. See you in 10 minutes |
39 |
YELLOW CARD - Hendrik Roodt will spend 10 minutes in the sin bin after killiong the ball at a ruck |
33 |
Meyer Bosman has a chance to close the gap and he makes no mistake with the PENALTY - 6-7 |
26 |
The Lions still look the dominant and more dangerous team, but they are simply not finishing off their opportunities. |
23 |
Riaan Viljoen takes a huge boot in the facew, it is riuled accidental |
17 |
Butch James adds the CONVERSION - 7-3 |
16 |
TRY - That Lions scrum is doing a good job on the Sharks as the referee has no hesitation in awarding a penalty try! |
15 |
Great cover tackle by S'bura Sithole - saved a certain try |
13 |
Another monstrous scrum by the Lions |
11 |
The Lions still full of endeavour, but their execution keeps letting them down |
9 |
Meyer Bosman hits it low and true and the PENALTY is over - 3-0 to the Sharks |
8 |
High tackle by Josh Strauss and Meyer Bosman will have a shot at goal from about 45m out |
6 |
Andries Coetzee kicks directly into touch and the Sharks have a line-out feed on the Lions 10m line |

Massive scrum by the Lions - demolished the Sharks set piece just outside the 22 |
