Last season’s losing Super Rugby finalists the Lions have overcome an early deficit to remain unbeaten after two games with a 47-27 win over the Jaguares in Johannesburg.
Left wing Aphiwe Dyantyi continued his scintillating start to the season with two of those tries for the Lions after scoring on his debut last weekend.
The Lions were behind thanks to a try by Emiliano Boffelli in the third minute and a penalty before finding their attacking edge at Ellis Park.
Dyantyi, who was playing university rugby not long ago, was partly responsible for that with the opener for the Lions in the 27th. He went over again early in the second half and by that time the Lions were in control.
You do know relating corrupt politics to every other aspect in South Africa including rugby means you have no credibility in any comment you make?

Talking about NZ are you? I remember a ref who was made NZ Ref of the Year after he knocked the Boks out of the RWC in 2011 to ensure that the All Blacks didn't have to play them in the semi-final

What is your point Baylion? Go to evrery review of this match in different sites and everybody is saying the Jaco had a terrible day and everybody agrees that the penalty try was a fiasco.

Fact is that ensuring neutral referee appointments in a massively corrupt country would be a step in the right direction.

Are you going to whinge about the ref every time the Jaguares lose? Fact is they were lucky to get 3 tries

Last week to SA teams played against each other amd the had a NZ ref while Jaguares and Stormers had Jaco. This weekend Jaguares played Lions and again Jaco was the ref . What is the logic of this ? Is there any?
