Lions v Hurricanes (SF)

[Damo]

Lineout is concerning. Presents an easy tactic for the Lions if canes don't sort that out.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Hope I'm not getting ahead of myself but Lions seem to be struggling with the pace of the game.

[ACT Crusader]

Mostert has been a beast all season stealing lineout ball.

Canes looking good when going wide off set piece.

[Stargazer]

I kind of understand there being a relatively small crowd in Chch with that cold weather (and the forecast being much worse) for the Saders' SF, but there are a lot of empty red seats in Jo'burg as well.... what's their excuse?

3-15 after 19.

[PN]

@Damo I'd say the lion's inability to stop tries is a tad bit more concerning for Lions fans

[gt12]

Was that actually forward?

Yes it's a big game but of course there are going to be empty seats. There's no way they are going to get 60K at a Super rugby semi no matter how good their season has been.

[Stargazer]

Shit, Jordie injured?

[gt12]

Canes get the penalty but don't take the points?

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Stop the fancy shit. Blown opportunity that.

[gt12]

Canes just being a bit silly here. Jordie down.

[ACT Crusader]

Some scratchy play there by the Canes. Patience needed.

Jordie gets hammered by 3 Lions players and is up but a little worse for wear.

[Stargazer]

JB seems okay ...

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Goddammit. Calm down

[gt12]

The worst art is they could have gone 15 clear? Why not do that???

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Ardie!!!

[ACT Crusader]

Lions scrum dominant. But dumb to take quick tap. Now a turnover and Ardie in.

Stupid not to kick for territory and use the lineout.

[gt12]

Ah yes, time for the canes to scrum like shit.

Wasted opportunity for points.

Ok, maybe not so bad
