Brilliant Boks Defeats Lions
What a brilliant nailbiting game of rugby!
The Springboks were pretty much behind from the start when Schalk Burger’s impetuousness once again cost his team.
Sticking fingers in opponents eyes is not cool, Schalk!
The Lions scorred a penalty and try while Schalk was contemplating his sins.
JP Pietersen meanwhile scored a try, while Ruan Pienaar missed kicks on goal.
The Lions added two more kicks at goal to which South Africa replied with one of their own just before half time.
Half time score 8-16 to the Lions.
The second half was
even more nerve-wracking and exciting.
The Lions scored first to make the score 8-19.
But then Brian Habana scored a try, followed by another by Jaque Fourie.
A trading of penalties left the score 25-25 with just two minutes to go.
Would you believe it was not the end yet?
Because next thing you know its almost a cliche.
Last minute penalty from the middle line.
With the match and series on the line, young Morne Steyn steps up, with the pressure of a nation on his shoulders.
He makes the kick and the Boks win 28-25.
What a game!
