Lions totally rattled now…
Lions not playing to their strengths.
Too much stamp kar rugby.
Landers defence too good for that shit.
Lions will have to score soon if they are to stand a chance to turn this game around.

Does the rwf have ANY idea what goes on in the front row?

Try Malakai Fekitoa, Landers… exquisite running!

Lions suffering from last weeks exertions and the travel woes?
Highlanders 31 / 3 Lions
Changes aplenty.
Lions sub their whole front row… and Ross Geldenhuys is on for the Landers at prop.
Nothing going for the Lions, absolutely nothing!
As good as the Lions were last week, so shite have they been this week so far.
Landers squarely have the Lions measure…
Landers now playing for territory…
20 Minutes to go, the deficit is a full 28 points.
Landers steal the Lions lineout, in the Lions 22..
Drop goal by Lima Sopoaga… over!
