    Woohoo with 20 to go i thought the lions would win it. Naholo was my man of the match. The slow mo of Lawes knocking himself the fuck out on his shoulder was great.

    Glad that last bullshit penalty for the "deliberate" knock on didn't cost the Highlanders the game.
    Also glad the lions weren't able to take that long range kick from 5m infront of the mark like they almost did.

    Lets hope the Maori, Hurricanes and Chiefs can pull off wins too.

      I'm sure that was Jimmy Spittle that went flying from his mouth! 🙂

        Got to say, lack of class by blue 17 on the final whistle. Rubbing it into Joseph.

            Oddly enough he seemed useful putting up the high ball.

              How come Mr Interviews Really Well didn't have the reigns for this game? As assistant wouldn't it be natural for him to step in? Good for the Landers he didn't, but still.

                    I thought that all of the Landers locks were good value. Ainley might be my favourite Highlander because he's playing so well for an old man. The newbie Dickson did well too, including taking a crucial kickoff and played his part in that scrum.

                    If I was being kind, Sopoaga had a mixed game. Some inaccuracies which would prove costly in a test.

                    I'll also stick up for Walden, who punched above his weight. Apart from the knock on he did many good things and was easily the better of the midfield duo.

                                        Well played the Clan and a just about deserved win. Overall I thought slightly the better team and certainly the team that showed more intent. I'm not talking about kicking for the corner rather than for the posts, more that with ball in hand they were looking to create.

                                        The Lions actually looked a lot more dangerous when they decided to run the ball rather than just take contact one or two out from the ruck. Just a shame they waited 75 minutes before trying this tactic. The Lions gameplan so far has shown little imagination and has not made much impression. I'm hoping that there is something more to their game which has yet to be shown.

                                        Guys that have put their hand up:-

                                        Henderson
                                        Joseph
                                        Webb
                                        Warburton
                                        Sinckler

                                        Those looking at playing for the drinking team:-

                                        Payne
                                        Henshaw
                                        Lawes (mainly 'cos I suspect he will be out for a week or more)

                                        All the rest are non-movers for me.

                                          Got to say, lack of class by blue 17 on the final whistle. Rubbing it into Joseph.

                                          Cocks like that get found out eventually.

                                          It looked like Seuli just went to give JJ a cheeky hug. Joseph then shoves him away.

                                          But definitely something to get your back up over.
