Highlanders v B&I Lions

[Tim]

Two awful kicks.

Why don't teams bother to cover that? If you are going to do a cross field kick why not have a back sit back? Highlanders have two players going for the ball and no one covering. Such a risk/reward when you can easily cut down the risk.

Live by the cross kick, die by the cross kick.

[broughie]

@SimonAdd_2 Especially when it is a lollipop with the hang time of Lebron James. Kick was on. Has to be flatter.

[No Quarter]

Just don't do the cross kick in your own half.

HIghlanders falling off some tackles here...

[Hooroo]

Two things:

Angus Gardner is a reffing superstar.

I am loving this game.

[Tim]

Would love to see GPT get some minutes here.

[Tordah]

Hemmington took the wrong option going blindside

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

Was that a yellow for Sinckler? UK commentary completely missed it

[Sapetyvi]

I don't understand why that kind of tackle where the defender drags the carrier into the ground head first, isn't deemed dangerous play? It is basically a tip tackle.

[Tim]

@SimonAdd_2 Just a penalty. Ref clarified: "wasn't late, just no arms."

[Stargazer]

@SimonAdd_2 No yellow.

[Tim]

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

[No Quarter]

Bloody hell, does Sopoaga have a tenner on the Lions?

[Tim]

That's a mixed performance from Sopoaga tonight ...

[KiwiMurph]

Not the first game that Lima has looked erratic this season

[No Quarter]

Well taken try from Warburton. He'll be captain in test one.
