big game for the canes.

It's the game of the round for me. If the Lions bring their second-half-versus-Reds performance it'll be a cracker.

hope so . lions are a real test of how the canes look outside of their conference

Devastating blow for the Lions just 8 minutes into this match, with Malcolm Marx off injured, and it looks serious.

Ruan Combrink has gone MIA for the first 30 minutes, very unusual for him

 

[Big_Grumper]

To be fair the entire Lions' back line has gone missing.

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

All things considered, being 7 down is the deal of the year for the lions.
Lions tend to improve in the second half.
Very curious about this one

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

Oh well, Lions not coming back from this.

canes were lucky. had the game gone on for 10 mins more lions woulda had that

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Seems like a credible performance by the Lions? Still the pick of their conference?

Ruan Combrink has gone MIA for the first 30 minutes, very unusual for him

He is returning from a long term injury. I'm sure he'll hit his stride after the June break.

 

[Penne Rara]

Hopefully, Jordie's injury is minor... any news about his ankle?
