Evens stevens… 2nd half will be good!!
@ grootblousmile:
@30 that’s a pity hope they are ok. Of the two starting locks would have preferred if Henderson was subbed during the game and Lawes played through as think he is the more abrasive of the two. Does his injury look serious? Jonny Gray is just across the sea in Aus… although would prefer if he didn’t get called up.
2nd Half ON!
33 @ Bullscot:
Not sure how serious!
Try Tommy Seymour, Lions!
Highlanders 10 / 15 B & I Lions
Sopoaga slots a penalty for the Landers.
Highlanders 13 / 15 B & I Lions
5m Lions scrum…
Try Lions, No 7, Sam Warburton!
Highlanders 13 / 22 B & I Lions
Try Liam Coltman, Landers!!
Highlanders 20 / 22 B & I Lions
Highlanders needed that.
18 Minutes remain in the match!
44 @ cane:
Yeah, they did!
And in other news: the French rugby team have lodged an official complaint about being forced to play at Loftus Versfeld…
Apparently the team wearing blue always loses there.
Great passage of play here by The Lions, as good as ant Super team.
Owen Farrell for goal for the Lions… missed to the left!
10 Minutes to go… Landers on attack!
Patrick Osborne on for the Highlanders…..good.
Babnks slots a penalty to take the Landers 1 point ahead!
Highlanders 23 / 22 B & I Lions
Lions almost slot a long distance penalty…
1 Minute to go
Close, close game… Lions throwing everything at the Landers.
Penalty Lions, too far out… kicked out, 7m outside the Landers 22.
Lions have the ball… knocked by Joseph… hacked out by the Landers!
Game over, Landers win by 1!!
Highlanders (10) 23 / 22 (10) B & I Lions (Final Score)
Excellent match!!
Saturdays game is against NZ Maori.
5th game of The Tour, so combinations should be jelling.
Judgement Day for The Lions.
We should get a glimpse of the likely Test line-up.
Once again should be close game. But I’d call it The Lions by 10.
