This team is special.. Joburg please give this team all your support
Best 10 minutes in all of the URC games this year.
Imagine seeing your team play like this after you get sent off
Emotional rollercoaster
😂😂😂😂😂
😂
😂😂😂😂😂
@@wlk2408 just they wait till our boys really get into the flow of the sped up game. SA rugby 2.0 coming soon
It's like your ex wife losing all the weight and turning into a baddie AFTER the divorce 😂
The thumbnail, editing and preference in content tells me the URC media team has undergone some transformation. The last few seasons all we got to watch was 3 minutes highlights that missed all the highlights in the game (The irony). Well I am impressed by the quality being served now🔥🔥🔥🙌🏾
Agreed!! About time we got some decent highlight reels
Particularly impressive to make it sound like there’s an atmosphere when the stadium is 90% empty
This reminded me of the lions when Kwagga and FAF used to play for them. Such a special team that was!
Yup they played 3 Super Rugby finals in a row from 2016-2018. Unfortunately they didn't win a final but they were an exceptional team back then.
Nohamba was the fuel to the fire of this team..
He was awesome!
Nohamba has found his true home in Joburg
Apart from scoring a try, he had a direct hand in 2 of the others.
Lions: "Why play with 15 men when there's more space with 14😈"
Love your videos🫶
@@AjaySalmon Thank you so much! Always trying my best👍
What position would you get rid of ?🦈🇿🇦
It's science
It’s squad rotation
The Lions have a culture of turning so called average players from other franchises into stars🎉🎉🎉Love this team. Less complaining from the coaches and only beautiful rugby being coached 😅😅😅
Sanele Nohamba is special. I mean, successful counter-ruck by a fly/scrum-half. And it leads to a try ! Ôo
You can almost feel sorry for the Glasgow guys. When they won that red card decision, they must have believed that they had this one in the bag. Then the Lions woke up! Sorry Glasgow, not sorry! Very proud of the Lions!
The red card trap.
Easy to take the foot off the gas after that, but against SA teams?? Come on, at your peril.
Best ten minutes in the URC this season
Lions are playing very well. Watched them live a few months ago. Real champs.
Van d merwe nohamaba van den bergh surely be playing for the boks
+ Horne...+Visagie .. + Louw
@@krlauf5307 i would be surprised , maybe tshituka , horn , van wyk when he was fit maybe even venter. but the three I mentioned could all make strongest 23 right now
JC pretorius needs a call up as well, next Kwagga Smith
I was thinking the same thing.
Now that there seems to be a firm decision on using the blitz bokke as a Springbok/15's pathway, I think we will see a massive skill jump for most players, especially for the loose fowards.
Those two back-door passes for his try-wow, that's talent!
Sad to see the stands so empty, what is wrong? ...I am a Stormer, but this was so entertaining to watch.
Ja aaai Francois, dis baie kak om Ellis Park toe te gaan😢. Die stad is vernietig en gevaarlik.
Ellis Park is an area called Doornfontein, and it's really dodgy, even for Joburg. I was a victim of a smash and grab stuck in traffic in that area. You get harassed by 'car guards' also, as the bulk of the parking is on the street. A very unsafe area to wait for Ubers as well.
Beautiful stuff, Lions! 🎉❤
Lions jou doring!!This team can go far!
Perfect example of how a single spark of brilliance can light a fire in a team and produce some mesmorising stuff. You gota feel the Glasgow boy, must have been like watching a train wreck in slow motion on the pitch.
lekker Leeus...Go Lions !!!
What a hart warming site to see at 7 min 14 sec
Good spot!
The 1st half performance couldn’t be worse for the Lions but the second half especially this ten minutes couldn’t be any better! As a Stormers supporter I would be stupid if I thought that a first half performance will hand the final judgement. I am extremely concerned but exited for what the Lions will have to bring here!
If only the lions could play in a smaller stadium the atmosphere would be amazing but hey SA team organizers are stubborn as f*ck
Agreed! I always thought a small stadium in the Fourways area would work very well. But yeah, the powers that be are too greedy.
The problem isn't the size of the stadium, it is the rampant crime outside it. People don't want to go watch rigby if they don't know if their car will still be there afterwards. Johannesburg is a bit of a cesspool
@@stephanbecker7918 exactly. And the area around Ellis Park is especially dodgy, even for Joburg.
Warren Whiteley was held up at gun point on his way to practice
I'm not South African so I don't know the answer to this but why don't they choose smaller stadiums? I'm guessing there were about 15/20000 in there, which is about the crowd of my local team, Leicester...but because of the vast stadium is seems so empty and not too loud etc! Yet, leicester is pumping each weekend!!! The SA teams could create a really hostile cauldron atmosphere with smaller stadiums and be pretty much unbeatable!
Traditionally the unions own these large test stadiums and they rent the suites to businesses on long term leases, which also includes any tests played there. The Lions' Ellispark complex also have a smaller 30k stadium, mainly used for athletics and by the nearby Central Johannesburg College (I assume), but this stadium doesn't have suites, so I suppose it doesn't make financial sense for them to move. Personally I would like to see these games moved out of the Jo'burg CBD to a safer and more accessable area
Great observation.
They don't play WCUP finals at Leicester
It may be a hangover from the era of isolation and period thereafter where provincial rugby and cricket were a big things. Provincial matches would fill stadia.
Only school stadiums are smaller over here
Sad to see those stands empty but happy those in attendance got a great game of rugby
Well done to the players and the coaches. This is truly a special team.
Glasgow miscalculated the altitude with their attempt at a high paced game.
exactly
The Lions need a smaller stadium like UJ Varsity Cup or Wits Varsity Cup venues. It's safer and can accommodate over 15k fans, stands and open space.
Lions management must really consider this, the team plays entertaining rugby 😅😂
Awesome stuff. A lot of people immediately think of forward power when South African rugby is mentioned, but I have always associated it with exciting running rugby when the game becomes looser. Well done, Lions, from a Cardiff fan.
This was wild.
Absolutely love South African superior rugby.
Glorious rugby!!!!
Hamba Mahamba
he can Hamba very Kahle!!!!
Twas a good day to be a Lions fan.
15 is an odd number
At 10:40 isn't that a high tackle?
Lions played massively! #FightOnLions
A privilege to watch this live. Lions found an extra gear
I have supported any team that plays against Transvaal for decades, but that was some good sh1t.
For everyone asking about the stadium crowd numbers, they will increase once the lions become more consistent with these performances. In 2017 when they were the best in the country people went to else park alot i am one of them, but then over time the lions became the worst team in SA based on performances thats when people stopped going to ellis park. They are on the up now as we all can see and they will attract fans again with more consistent performances like this one
Pretorius with 7's experience!! 😮massive
After the second try, you have to consider changing how you play. How do you keep getting back foot ball off the kicks and keep kicking? Backline clearly isn’t making any forward progress so why not set up pods and crash the ball up with your forwards? Or am I missing something?(didn’t watch the match)
Lions players playing with purpose and enjoying themselves it seems. Whereas the lowly Sharks players cannot get motivated as you might be replaced by someone bought in a heartbeat (especially if the new signings dont have to play to get paid as they have already been). P.S.: I am a Sharks supporter. Also Sanele is a perfect example.
JC Pretorius. I really hope this man gets a springbok call up.
WELL DONE LIONS...last tackle was high though
The TMO looked at it.
Werner is an unbelievable player
Havent seen so many spectators at Ellus Park in years
Lions you beauties!!!!
For those mentioning how empty it looks, important to remember in South Africa we film away from the sun, meaning that the majority of people sit behind the camera, as it is in the shade. The sections of the stadium shown on camera are almost always in the sun, meaning that very few people book those tickets to avoid cooking in the sun for 2 hours. Also Ellis park will always have the worst attendance due to the crime in the area and the size of the stadium. I would love to see the lions relocate to a smaller stadium in a safer area, but probably not going to happen. Perhaps a concerted effort to redevelop the surrounding area will be the most viable solution. That or a roof over the stadium lol
They guy who got sent off looked distraught, probably thinking he had just single handedly blown his teams chance of making the playoffs, only for his team to be like 'Hold my Beer'
He immediately knew what was coming as he already had a yellow card earlier. In the end it was a straight red, not a second yellow, then red. No difference to the effect on the game but a massive difference to any bans in the offing
hey, its Morne Steyn! is he Lions' kicking coach? awesome
Stadiums are very quiet - need to advertise the games more! Cheap tickets fill seats!
Lions should start with 14 men, you heard it here first 😜
@3:31 Cronje offside, not behind last mans feet. Great try though.
The TMO checked that. Seems he was happy that Cronje was bound but I felt he came off the ruck a bit early
Love it! LIIIIOOOONS!
fabulous entertainment, the depth of natural SA talent has further strengthened, the legacy of winning 2 RWC on the trot. Meanwhile Welsh RFU is assembling a 38 man committee to decide what brand of loo rolls to buy …..
Emocionante
Sad that the match officials, Ref, TMOs seem to be doing everything in their power to find a reason NOT to award the tries...
Witness the effect of playing at altitude
I just see a bunch of Scottish lads being attacked by Lions
LIONS !!!!!!
JC Pretorius (aka Kwagga Jr.)
Davis Mary Gonzalez Edward Brown Thomas
Edwil is the next kolbe
Is Van Der Merwe South African or Scottish? A RSA 'flag' appears by his name in the video yet he represents Scotland at international level.
George Horne kicking it away again at the end is pathetic
...And still the Lions lost the game. If only they played like that in the last 10 minutes, the Glasgow Warriors would not have won.
Someone tell me 2hy edwill van Der merwe isn't playing for boks
I think it is because he hasn't been selected to play for the Boks; I you are not selected, then you cannot play for the Boks. On a serious note, there are so many good wings in SA that breaking into the Boks is quite tough.
@@johanstruwig3815 that's quiet obvious but theres an argument that edwill is better than some of them ie mapimpi
Far better than Mampipi
Miles offside at that ruck
Looks like the fans were down to 14 men too
How poor were Glasgow? They are shoite away from home.. Franco talks a good game????
The main problem for those guys are the altitude. Typically around 60 minutes these guys' lungs start to burn, shouting for some more oxygen.
I think they struggle with playing at altitude. The lungs can't handle thinner air and thus fitness levels fall at around the hour mark
Truth be told. Lions rugby team always produces superstars... We can name current superstars from this rugby team Malcolm HULK Marx, Faf POCKET BOMB De Klek, Kwagga TERROR Smith and the list is too much..
