Not the first game that Lima has looked erratic this season

I used to feel content knowing he was number 3 five eighth as a sign of our depth ,

Not so much he is about to be number 2

Otere has chance on Saturday to make a statement.

Another handling error from Payne...

A ref properly refine the offside line for both sides. Gotta love it

@Sapetyvi Can imagine there will be a "rule clarification" regarding it in the next 12 months.

Once an all black does it to an Irishman.

Fekitoa takes a quick tap... runs sideways...

Two things:

Angus Gardner is a reffing superstar.

I am loving this game.

He's good. Some of the obstructions should just be scrums though, IMO.

In obvious shock.....Ref doesn't get everything right. Your opinion is reasonably irrelevant too 😝

[No Quarter]

Bad option. Though the Lions were never onside, amazed that was play on.

[SimonAdd_2]

Great counter-ruck

[Tordah]

classic Fekitoa. Take the quick tap, run sideways for 5 meters

[KiwiMurph]

Hammington showing he's a bit weak.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Shocking errors by Lima, but he has had very little game time this season.

[SimonAdd_2]

Brainless from Haskell. Ref gives the warning.

[Rapido]

Nah. I hope highlanders lose now.

2 kickable penalties turned down. Don't want moronic captaincy rewarded. This ain't the sunwolves. Slow learners.

Edit. This post may end up making me look silly.

[Stargazer]

I love how Gardner doesn't allow the Lions to be offside all the time.

[MiketheSnow]

Great try

[Crucial]

At that last try, how on earth was that not an obstruction/offside play by the Lions player exiting the ruck? Drags one player to create a hole while standing on the other side while blocking another from getting to the channel.

[No Quarter]

Game on.

[Tordah]

mauls are lame, but good to see the Highöanders score

[SimonAdd_2]

Try was almost the best option for the Lions. Another penalty would have been a yellow and probably a try too anyway.

That really was comical. He appeared to help set up the try by dragging down the side of the maul.

20 - 22 Lions

You have to fancy the Highlanders going into the last stanza
