Polokwane - The Golden Lions have completed a 110-0 thrashing over the hapless Limpopo Blue Bulls in their Vodacom Cup North
Section match at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium, in Polokwane, on
Saturday.
The Golden Lions led 68-0 at the half-time interval.
The visitors ran in 16 unanswered tries while flyhalf Wille du Plessis ended with 30 points as he kicked 15 conversions.
The Golden Lions had 10 different try-scorers with flanks Stephan de Witt and Cyle Brink, prop Nico du Plessis, centre Ruhan Nel and fullback Chrysander Botha all dotting down twice.
The defeat was Limpopo's sixth consecutive loss this season while the defending champion Lions moved in to fourth place on the log.
The Lions eased to a 68-0 lead at half-time with Limpopo seemingly having no answer to the visitor's power and craft.

seven minutes after the resumption as the floodgates opened once again.
