Lions vs Sharks verdict by Guru and Manny
Guru’s take on the game: The B&I Lions in summation, had a terrible first half. They ended up pulling it together from the 46th Minute onwards. They looked very rusty, uncoordinated and got easily frustrated at the breakdown where only in the second half, did they manage to clean out their opponents effectively. All I...
