Lions versus Higlanders offical match thread

 Nice to be able to compare Faf de Klerk to Aaron Smith. Also how the loosw trio goes. Nice and pacy. IS Julian Redlinhghuys Bok qulaity at 3? Lions scrum doing well this season and its a light pack. Too l ight really.

Beeno: i won't be able to watch the games much Today & this means the kiwi blogging team will be vulnerable as keeping your straight on these forums is more than a one person job, lol I trust you will report on the developments in this game in a fair & balanced manner, I am sure any comments you make about the ref will also be fair
Go landers !!

 Great try Landers 5-0

 Very poor defence Lions. 

 Dont give him free range lol, hey that ref got in the way..

 Dubious try one has to say That leg looked out.

 of course it did Beeno, of course it did (leg wssent out). Typical sa attitude dg.

 De Klerks look the goods, Smith best hb in the world.

 Very poor camera work to boot.

 TECHNICALLY INCORRECT SAYS MARSHALL AS HIGHLANDERS ILLEGALLY SACK THE ROLLING MAUL. WAKE UP REF

 PROMISING lIONS MOVE STOPPED DUE TO PLAYERS SAFETY. MARSHALL BOET THE BALL WAS NOWHERE NEAR THE INJURED HIGHLANDER. Too foul ups already. 

 Whitely arguing the toss it seems re the rolling maul decision? 

 Lions turn over ball again near highlander line. Come on guys !

 Ref blowing Lions out of the game. 

 Lions maintaining nice territorial dominan ce with their 842 kg pack

3ku1: what's really happening in this game? lol translating beeno's post: lions are struggling , refs doing a good job

 Lions dominating the game but ref controlling matters for wee highlanders.Hoped that helped JW. Never ask an oak with a 3 IQ!

 For all you know Beeno i could be a scholar and you could be intellectually challenged, wait . Yeah Beenos like a lill kiddy been let out of his cot lol. Dnt listin to him JW, landers hv dominated ref hs bn pretty leniant towards Lions, Another try!! 

How slow was Mapoe. This is ou snapster big Bok pick at 13! Snapster the guy is a carthorse as I have said before.
Whitely catches Ben Smith from behind. Great tackle . But Highlanders go on to score.
Lions backs are not up to it. Faf looking good and Watermeyer competent.
Whitley would do well in a Bok pack?

 Whitely best sa 8 presently.

 3 IQ please oak stop dribbling away.  I have clearly identified the problems.
JW are you not able to watch. I often dont know whether you are actually seeing the game or not. 

 3I Q you could well be right. If we put together our best tight five we may go lighter at 8. He must be in the picture.Meyer must experiment before the 4 nations start.
Lions time to wake u p and give these hapless highlanders a good wack. Remember what the Stormers second team did!

 Great try by Faf  - our new Bok scrummie!

 great try lions!

 Faf looking better than Aaron Smith. 
More dynamic player.
Someone given theref new contact lenses. However he will revert to type if the Lions get close

 Lol no De Klerk no where near Smoth at his best, De Klerks hd more ball in the second hlf, Smiths bn dictating things well, Stormers no how good Smith is haha.

IF WE WANT TO PLAY A MORE ATTACKING GAME A CHANGE IN THE LOOSE TRIO COMPOSITION IS NECESSARY?

 King deserved that.

Lets hope the dirty thug Chris King is given a red. What a complete mong!!!!!!!!!!!
Is that TMO blind talking about a shoulder when it was an elbow. 
Go Lions!!

Another illegal sacking of rolling maul!!!!!

 Smith lacks nerve when it comes to big matches 3 IQ - get intimidated.

 Boschoff makes a silly kick.

 Not pushing straight says the ref and highlanders scrum disintegrates. Bwahahhahahahahaha

 Brilliant pass by de Klerk.
No doubt about it de Klerk is out playing Smith. De Klerk is number 1  

 Translation of Beeno post: lions are not getting the job done in spite of having extra man so distract kiwi posters by talking nonsense about smith , lol

 Great break by Boschoff and some brilliant passing by Lions leads to second try!
Lions have thus far had the better of the second half.

 Brilliant try, Smith goes missinf in big games, yeh thats why hes the incumbant ab #9. I wouldent classify this as a big match, for landers anyway 

 ...forward pass there Bean Brain so no try...given out of sympathy by the looks

 You still with us JW. Are you viewing the game or not - always difficult to tell! Hahhahahahaha
