Highlanders v B&I Lions

[Kirwan]

Entertaining game!

[Tim]

Great win. Great game. Strange that the Lions didn't go for the maul.

[Stargazer]

Awesome! Another win for a Super team over the Lions!

[KiwiMurph]

Fantastic win Highlanders. Extremely impressive.

Well played Lions - contributed to an awesome game.

Welcome to the Lions defeating club Highlanders fans.

[antipodean]

Well done Clan!

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Great stuff Landers!!!!! What an effort.

A have to say, some of these Lions knockons are spectacular. They must be passing ridiculously hard or something. That last one went for miles.

Can't help but think that Dylan Hartley would have been a better midweek captain than Warburton...

[Chris B.]

Ha ha - Marty Banks!

I texted my Highlanders' supporting brother in law with 10 minutes to go and told him Banks would win it for him!

Iceman!

[booboo]

Am liking Sam Warburton. Very impressive.

[Stockcar86]

So that was 3 tries to 2 to Lions?

[Stargazer]

@Stockcar86 Yes.

Warburton was only there because of injury.

Best would have been captain.

@Frye said in Highlanders v B&I Lions:

Anyone giving the Landers a chance here? I feel like their style is one that could be effective against a Lions side a fair bit weaker than Saturday's team.

In the forwards there's enough experience to be able to win their set piece. Two guys who I'm expecting big games from are Whitelock and Ainley, they have a break after this so can really play like there is no tomorrow. Hemopo is the only new guy.

Aaron Smith is obviously a big loss as it's him that really organises and sparks those forward runners. But Hammington has been in the squad all year, there should be plenty of familiarity there.

But from 10 out there is talent aplenty, with a guaranteed dry ball I just don't think the Lions defence will be able to stop the Landers backs from scoring 2-3 tries. And if this Lions combination doesn't really click on attack, I could see this Clan team squeaking home.

We're not worthy

Speaking of fekitoa , will be interesting to see him trying to prove a point tonight , could be a few lions backs waking up a bit sore tomorrow

Vaquita played good

@No-Quarter said in Highlanders v B&I Lions:

I thought that was a try, no clear separation between the hands and the ball. They didn't have much of a look at it though.

Clearly dropped

Webb is shit.

Really? Thought he went well. Bench 9 behind Murray

Jim Kayes is embarrassing ... cheer leader, adds nothing
