SF - Lions v Highlanders

[Crash]

<p>This game is thrown and Peyper has been disappointing missing forward passes by Lions - picking up line balls by Landers though - similarly side entry/sealing off by Lions picking up every ruck nuance by Landers.</p>
<p>Time has long passed for neutral refs </p>

<p>I think Peyper has been fine, missed one forward pass by the Lions but don't think much else went wrong on his side. Most things went wrong on the Highlanders side</p>

[Tordah]

<p>interesting taking the scrum, not backing down</p>

[Tordah]

<p>well there was a mistake, that was clearly hands in the ruck by the Lions player</p>

Holy shit Peyper how did you permit that "turnover"?<br><br>Dixon having a mare.

Drives me nuts when a ref calls "leave it" then they don't and turn it over and he just says "it was fine"<br><br>
Led to that latest try too

Haha, happy to! Good luck next week, I assume you'll disappear after today again. Shittest "supporter" ever.

[Davesofthunder]

Not far off calling it now.<br><br>
Bring on the Hurricanes first title!

[mimic]

<p>poor effort there by dixon i reckon</p>

[Siam]

fluffybunny of a time for the Landers to play their worst game but lions have been good<br><br>
If it pisses down in Wellington next week it'll be one way traffic

[Frye]

Some questioned if Luatua missing finals would hurt his AB chances. Guess that is an emphatic no considering the game that Dixon is having.

[JAF]

Great try saving tackle by Kriel

[Bones]

Faddes ball in fucking wrong arm all of a sudden can't even outpace a beefcake flanker.

[sparky]

The Lions are clearly a useful outfit, to say the least. They easily beat the Cruaders last week and are well ahead of the Highlanders this Saturday.

[Bones]

I love your statements of the obvious sparky.

[Mattasaurus]

Hell of a try if awarded

[mimic]

<p>dixon wtf.. why didnt u catch that ball</p>

[antipodean]

So Naholo and Ben can hold their heads high as they leave the field. Fekitoa hasn't made an error but could have thrown a more sympathetic pass to Dixon.<br><br>The big difference is the tackle completion rate for both teams.
