While I failed to see that ‘brilliance’ I surely know who that ‘brain’ is!
It’s ridiculous to field Jantjies and Butch in the same line up, it’s an Either Or situation.
Jantjies needs to get the full backing but then he needs to show improvement at dictating the course in return, against the Cane – which is stronger team than the Cheetahs – he visibly regressed, if that trend continues, Mitchell will have a hot potato on his hands.

@youknowwho(youknowwho)-45: I don’t think we’re talking about Jantjies anymore, are we? This is about you and the rest of your refuse collection team. The other guys on the truck are riding on your coattails, aren’t they?

Elton “Webster” Jantjies is overrated! and it showed against the Canes! He should also stop glue’ing Josh’s beard and ball hair onto his head!

Mitchell is still trying to make Jantjies play a better game rather than focusing on the rest of players who are adding fkall to Jantjies brilliance.

Mitchell is still wondering how best he can fit Butch into the starting line-up ahead of Jantjies… caught between a rock and a hard place.. desperately wants to be a twat without anybody noticing.

Fark, finally I get a breather after 2 weeks of mayhem.

Ellis/Coca Park is in Doornfontein. Why would anybody bother to watch a game in that neck of the woods. Its Cape Town’s equivalent of Reiterwaght.

I believe the Lions will come through this season. Mid table at least. Can see Mitchell’s plans coming to fruition.

On Friday I got two distinct impressions during the game:

1) The Lions are apparently one of the fittest sides in the competition, but they looked out on their feet. Are they over extended and maybe need a lighter workload during the week?

2) The Lions looked to me like they needed a loss to get the right mentality back. In the CC they were the underdogs and proved a point by winning. Every game they won against one of the big 3 it was headline news. Now, with the expectation that comes with being champions they are struggling to get their minds around the fact that they are no longer underdogs. They need to ‘mature’ into contenders rather than pretenders.

Post game you could see Mitch still sitting in the coaches box, 30 mins after the game. I think he was comtemplating which approach to take – killing them or waiting for them to realise their errors themselves.

Lions to surprise many this year – even the doomsayers will have to swallow their words!

@Hoops(Hoops)-33: Can't argue with that ... I do feel they are playing with that pressure and the fear of relegation must play in the back of their minds.

The major problem on Friday was the scrumhalf who was wasting both seconds and micro seconds in getting the ball out to either his runners or Jantjies. If you are going to play a high tempo game then this marshalling of all and sundry by the scrum-half all the time is highly dangerous as in most instances – because of the tempo – your presence as the breakdown is less than it should be and either results in turnovers (which is criminal) or slow ball which is just plain stupid as it goes against the strategy.

@Almost…(Bonobo)-32:

My point is that every article claim the lions should be winners since they won the CC. Yes it was great for you lions to win it, but be real….that cup is not what it used to be, and also it is not going to win you any games.

The lions need to forget about being CC champs and play their game like they always do. The press normally put more pressure on the teams than anyone else.

Calling them the CC Champs every minute does not help!

I did not compare the two cups either….I just made a point how AC will claim that cup when people ask him when was the last time we won something. It is pathetic!
