Lions versus Higlanders offical match thread

 ...big fat yarpy skiving out on the wing trips over and scores a try...

 Another Lions try!  Lions blowi ng we lowlanders away.Some great skills. Kiwi commentators talking about travel effect. Hahahahahahahaha thought it didnt exist kiwis!W hat are you smoking brycy!

 Brycy; yes one must not discourage these SA teams so granting the odd forward pass seems only fair, lol

 Masterful display by Lions brycy! Just toss the kiwis out of the way.
Lions on attack.

 Lions advantage of having an extra man will soon be over & landers should wrap up the game

 Sacrilidge but come on Lions! Landers lose Canes stay 2nd Nz Conf. Looks like a try.

 ou brycy's visit to the optician is long overdue as we all know.Go Lions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Jantjes coming on. Why Faf was taken of is a mystery.Cynical red zone penalties by lowlanders.Ref go upstairs for base of post try!
Marshall says its a try thats good enough to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Typical nz tmo decision!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They will ALWAYS FAVOUR THEIR TEAMS. pROBABLY UNLUCKY BUT RIGHT CALL. HAHAHAHAHA 

 Lons try, Landers making the pussy cats look good

Another try! JA NTJES NEEDS TO GOAL THIS KICK!!!

 Why is it typical their was no clear evidence that the try was scored, thats what tmos aretheir for!!

 ...game over Bean Brain...another choke mate

LOWLANDERS  FANS BOO .
WHY NO SECOND CHANCE TO KICK!!!!
LIONS ROBBED BLIND. I AM DISGUSTED.

 Ah well next time lions

 Lions choked!! Haha. Gd call not to give Janties the second kick 80 mins passsed.

Mitchell says try against post was a try.
I said earlier along if it got close the ref/TMO would show their colours and that is exactly what happened. Hang your hea ds in shame kbbs!!

 Brycy: thanks for giving the real picture of the game as I couldn't watch it & could not depend on our mate Beeno to give reality-based comments, lol
Congrats landers, sounds like a close call. Lack of discipline by king almost cost the game.Glad lions put on a good show, they are a good team.

 That doesnt apply when there is an infringement 3 IQ - wake up ya hal f wit!

 I dont kno the ref was hammering landers with penalties in the last 5. Landers very luckym but it doesent matter if u win by a inch or a mile winnings winning. 

 The abs won a test where they were outplayed via the same thing.Two fatal errors by ref/tmo cost Lions a well earned win. Re f should be investigated

 Im not an half wit clearly you are as my point is, theit wasent enough evidence to suggest a try hd bn score, tmos purpose.

 Well let' s see what soret of deal the Sharks get - another bent down under ref in action? We shall see

 Wat error, try was pushed againgst post, went to tmo, try was not awarded, they then scoree anyway, janties choked end of. Re Abs in same fashion, abs wan most of games by 10-15 pts, so i doubt it.

     

Beeno: scoreboard! Everything else is an excuse. I will watch the game later - with an open mind of course 

 Hahahhaha beandork how ungracious of you ,thought I heard crying ....anyways good fight back by the poor old moth eaten lionskins ! Good to see the Landers squeeeeze that one out eh ?

 Great catch up by the Lions unlucky not to win. But I think they will settle for the points. Seem to be doing better than the sharks anyway 

 Lions were robbed. Mitchell said it was atry agaisnt the post. But why oh why was there not a second kick given to jantjes. Because it was a bent down under ref officiating.  

 I have been rebuked. I like those funny faces. So indignant!But Cloudy the Lions were really robbed!!!!!!!

 The amount of errors made by officials at this level is shocking.Forward passes and illegal put-ins at the scrum have to be called by the refs/TMO's/Asst Refs.
Watched all the games this week-end thus far and it is taking place everywhere including France and the UK.
Either apply the rules or delete them from the rule book for the sake of fairness to all teams.

 I agree with Beeno - that is definitely a Lions try against the base of the post and Janties should have been given a second kick at the conversion. Nevertheless, the TMO  and the ref called it and I am happy with that. 
Funny how the Highlanders went to sleep in the 2nd half and trying to push passes when on the Lions 22.
