NEXT UP.....
Radio Jem's Summary of the SECOND HALF of last night's LIONS v SHARKS game :-)

CELL C SHARKS v BRITISH & IRISH LIONS
2nd Half of last night's game which I recorded to bring England Football's UEFA Semi-Final to GR ;-) :-D


*LAST MINUTE CHANGE TO THE LIONS TEAM DUE TO COVID REGULATIONS - Team Edited on page 67.

At the start of the 2nd Half the Score stood at SHARKS 0 ~ LIONS 26

Players brought on at the start and during the second Half were
Finn Russell, Ken Owens, Tadhg Furlong, Taulupe Faletau, Maro Itoje and Hamish Watson.


A RENEWED SHARK ATTACK;-) IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE GAME! :-0
as the Sharks really up their game. They must have had "what for" in the changing room! :-0

At 50 minutes - TRY SHARKS ~ JAMES VENTER ~ Converted by CURWIN BOSCH

SHARKS 7 ~ LIONS 26


A Penalty for the Lions prevents another Sharks Try as they battle it out on the Lions' Tryline and Lions' clear their line.
The LIONS now get going and a KICK CHASE by JOSH ADAMS is nearly there but he's stopped by the Sharks!
THEN SOMEHOW JOSH ADAMS HAS RECLAIMED THE BALL AT GETS IT DOWN!

56 minutes - TRY LIONS ~ JOSH ADAMS<3 ~ Converted by FINN RUSSELL<3
SHARKS 7 ~ LIONS 33


60 minutes:
LOUIS REES-ZAMMIT breaks and is running at great speed.
And yet as he nears the mark he is able to slow down, conserving his energy, and still GETTING IT DOWN BETWEEN THE POSTS at leisure! :-D

TRY LIONS ~ LOUIS REES- ZAMMIT<3 ~ Converted by FINN RUSSELL<3
SHARKS 7 ~ LIONS 40


SHARKS PUT IN A PROLONGED ATTACK ON THE LIONS TRY LINE NEXT
JACK CONAN<3 puts in some fantastic work and reclaims the ball for the Lions who clear their line.
*THE SHARKS ATTACK IS ACTUALLY A GOOD THING FOR THE LIONS....
...... WARREN GATLAND GETS A CHANCE TO SEE HIS DEFENDERS AT WORK!


70 minutes
JOSH NAVIDI BREAKS<3 (Josh was drafted in to the Lions Squad as a replacement for injured Justin Tipuric) This amazing player will have a point to prove.....
He's very tired now but he gives it his all! AND HE'S OVER!

**BUT ..... IT'S GOME TO TMO! :-0
There was an offside by the Lions in the build up to the Try.
NO TRY! :-(


IT's SHARKS' TURN NOW TO LOOK DANGEROUS as they launch an offensive on the Lions Tryline. But replacement HAMISH WATSON puts in his usual brilliant action and steals!


73 minutes
DUHAN Van Der MERWE GETS HIS HAT TRICK TRY FOR THE LIONS :-D
Assisted ably by ELLIOT DALY<3
TRY LIONS ~ DUHAN van DER MERWE<3 ~ Converted by FINN RUSSELL<3

SHARKS 7 ~ LIONS 47

78 minutes
LOUIS REES-ZAMMIT<3 puts his foot down again! They don't call him "REES LIGHTNING" for nothing! :-D He makes great ground for the Lions as they are playing advantage.
TAULUPE FALETAU<3 flings a great pass to the 26 year old Josh Adams from Swansea ......

A HAT TRICK TRY NOW FOR JOSH ADAMS <3
Josh (with his Fiancee's blessing) will miss the birth of his first child while he's on Lions Duty :-(
BUT HE'S SHONE SO FAR SCORING TRIES IN EVERY LIONS' GAME :-)

* Warren is spoilt for choice for wingers and full backs - who will he choose for the SPRINGBOKS Games - IF THEY STILL GO AHEAD!!!

GREAT CONVERSION from FINN RUSSELL<3
SHARKS 7 ~ LIONS 54


LOUIS REES-ZAMMIT IS INJURED ~ He has ice on his thigh. Is it a Hamstring injury? :-(


PLAYER OF THE MATCH ~ DUHAN Van Der MERWE LIONS<3


THE CLOCK IS RED ..... FINN RUSSELL KICKS THE BALL OUT

FINAL SCORE:
SHARKS 7 ~ LIONS 54

Congratulations to Our Fabulous British & Irish Lions <3
Commiserations to Cell C Sharks :-)

PUMAS V WALES ~ THE ANTHEMS

WALES ~ MAE HEN WLAD FY NHADAU (Match Version)

Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi,
Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri;
Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwladgarwyr tra mad,
Dros ryddid collasant eu gwaed

Gwlad, gwlad,
pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad.
Tra môr yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,
O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.

Gwlad, gwlad,
pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad.
Tra môr yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,
O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.


ARGENTINA NATIONAL ANTHEM ~ HIMNO NACIONAL ARGENTINO”
Oíd, mortales, el grito sagrado:
"¡Libertad! ¡Libertad! ¡Libertad!"
Oíd el ruido de rotas cadenas
ved en trono a la noble igualdad

Ya su trono dignísimo abrieron
las Provincias Unidas del Sud
y los libres del mundo responden:
"¡Al gran pueblo argentino, salud!"
"¡Al gran pueblo argentino, salud!"
Y los libres del mundo responden:
"¡Al gran pueblo argentino, salud!"
Y los libres del mundo responden:
"¡Al gran pueblo argentino, salud!"

Sean eternos los laureles,
que supimos conseguir,
que supimos conseguir.
Coronados de gloria vivamos
O juremos con gloria morir!
O juremos con gloria morir!
O juremos con gloria morir!


English Translation

Hear, mortals, the sacred cry:
"Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!"
Hear the sound of broken chains
See noble equality enthroned.

Their most worthy throne have now opened
The United Provinces of the South.
And the free people of the world reply:
"To the great Argentine people, good health!"
"To the great Argentine people, good health!"
And the free ones of the world reply:
"To the great Argentine people, good health!"
And the free ones of the world reply:
"To the great Argentine people, good health!"

May the laurels be eternal
that we were able to achieve
that we were able to achieve
Let us live crowned in glory
O let us swear to die with glory
O let us swear to die with glory
O let us swear to die with glory.
