Highlanders (16) 22 / Lions (9) 26 (Final Score)
The Highlanders hosted the MTN Lions at Carisbrook, Dunedin at 09:35 SA Time. This was the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1, SHD & M-Net on TV in SA.
The embattled MTN Lions pulled off a miracle win right at the death, doing the Bulls and Sharks a huge favour in the process… and causing the Highlanders to only get 1 Log point from this game.

lol, goeie raad daai!!
AS die Lions eerste ‘n drie kan druk na halftyd, dan kan daar dalk iets op die tafel wees. Druk die Landers weer, kan dit lelik raak. Weet dit is ‘n groot as, maar ons moet hoop ! Leeus !
bdb @ 32
landers se wiele is besig om af te kom na ñ goeie begin …. of die leeus genoeg skietgoed het om dit uit te buit, sal ons maar moet sien.
Ciao a tutti!
Go LIONS!!!!!!!!!!
2nd Half On!
If we all send our mental strength over to kiwiland maybe the Lions can moer them stukkend in the second half 🙂

Hello broer Asbakkie… hoe gaan dit in die Kaap in?
33: dit is so, hulle lyk nie meer so goed soos begin van die reeks nie, hoop die Leeus het ‘n beter 2de helfte.
Flok, ek sukkel maar om die Lions te support…. maar ek moet maar.
Landers het hierdie seisoen guts gewys.
Sapoaga misses a penalty attempt
@ grootblousmile:
We need to support the Lions for the sake of our beloved Bullyboys
Lyk nie of Leeus belangstel om naby die Landers se doellyn te kom nie, maar ten minste lyk dit op hierdie stadium ook nie of Landers drieë wil druk nie. So ‘n halwe wonderwerk is op die tafel, nog 30 minute op drie drieë te keer. Leeus !
