Lions are finally able to get into the Rebels half after winning a penalty at the ruck. Lineout on the Rebels 10m line.
The ref loses patience and penalises Toby Smith for collapsing the scrum. Lions have a lineout near halfway.
Cynical play alright
The Lions are upset as they claim their was obstruction during the build up to the try. TMO adjudges that the ball was lost forward. Silly error and a big opportunity lost for the home side.
The Rebels go the length of the field and show some great hands to score under the poles. The TMO has been called in to check the grounding.
After plenty of resets at scrum time, the ref stops the clock to discuss what he wants from them. The resulting scrum goes down once again. The ref will need to make a decision soon enough.
Lions are yet to make an entry into the Rebels half. It has been a tough opening 20min for the South Africans.
Lions win a free kick at the scrum as the Rebels were not square and steady. After 18min, the Lions have only had 20% possession. The Lions are back to 15 men.
The Lions look headless at the moment. They lose the ball forward and the Rebels immediately take advantage by spreading it wide to Shipperley who puts in a beautiful grubber kick to set up a 5m lineout to the Lions.
Harris not having a good day with the boot.
