Highlanders v B&I Lions

[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.

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

Tonnes of penalty kicks is heaps more fun. Same with tryless games.

This is a thousand times better than the dross been served up so far this tour... even with the lame mauls

Walden hasn't been up to it tonight. I feel a little sorry for him there but he has made a lot of poor decisions.

[Rapido]

NZ teams have been terrible at kick off receiving all tour.

[Hooroo]

Rough call on Lions there.

I like it how the Highlanders loose forward trio actually make an impact...

I thought the Blues game was fun! Agree the other two games were pretty dour, though it was fun seeing the NZB push them.

@Hooroo No way that was a Highlanders scrum penalty. Cole had the right to be angry!
