@MiketheSnow For never releasing the tackled player it should be a penalty to the Lions.

Fair contest in the air. Scrum the fair call.

Faarkk! Great game.
Well done Highlanders.
Well done the ref too, no complaints.

Good game, good game.
Congrats Highlanders, tough luck Lions.
-
Well done Clan!

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.

He could have at least gone full out Monty Python with some coconuts. No, not the island boys.

So that was 3 tries to 2 to Lions?
@Stockcar86 Yes.

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

Warburton was only there because of injury.
Best would have been captain.

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.
