    @ MacroBull:
    The Kiwis thrive on making tries for their team mates….we mostly have players who’s first goal is to score the try themselves.

    I blame these “fancy celebratory dance moves” 😆

    What’s the point of having a windgat jive if you don’t get to score?…..so they all want the glory for themselves

    Wow, so easy….I’ll say it again, you can’t give them turn over ball, even on their own tryline

    @ nortie:
    NIKS wen is so goed soos goeie, skoonmaak tegniek, jy kan “ball in hand’ approach he tot jy blou in die gesig is, dit beteken niks as die scrumhalf kak bal kry nie… dit is voglens my ons grootste probleem, bokke ingesluit.

    Hi GBS first try in the 34th min and 2nd try in the 39th, gosh the Highlanders went from it being 3/3 in the 31st to leading by 17 in less than 10 min Amazed

    The highalnders have done pretty well under the circumstances to hold the Lions to a mere 3 points, they are usually a free running try scoring team that according to SSport all the other sa teams should be emulating.

    They look so, but in reality they are one of only 2 teams who have in fact scored less tries than the Stormers

    Penalty against the Lions, against Tecklenburg not rolling away at the tackle

    Landers flyhalf reminds me of Franco Smith, same build and playing styl…

    It is unfair that Sapoaga plays in a country where he might not even be good enough to go to the world cup.

    Jeez, if this continues expect a huge “THUMP” in Jo’burg after the final whistle
