Highfeld XV v Lions

[An Tarbh]

he's not going to get any decent ball if Williams and Worsley don't up their work rate on the deck.

 

[Bumbadum]

Roberts has had a couple of decent looking breaks, aside form him and Byrne who has been solid there's not much to shout about.

Theyve shoved us around in the forwards and made life very difficult for Mike Blair, who hasn;t really responded well. Our backs have been contained pretty easily for the most part.

I'd expect to see Phillips, Flutey and perhaps a forward substitution if not straight from half time then very early in the second 40.

 

[Bumbadum]

On that note - no changes for the second half.

 

[Meh]

Royals nearly scored a breakaway try O_O.
Come on Lions.

 

[An Tarbh]

timely call there from Jonker.

 

[Bumbadum]

Phew - offside on an intercept, heart in mouth there.

 

[Meh]

18-13. O'Gara penalty.

 

[An Tarbh]

I know the pitch is a bit narrow but even still ickle could have done better.

 

[Bumbadum]

Earlsy gaining in confidence a bit, doing the smart thing and not trying too much.

 

[Meh]

We look so shaky ball in hand.

 

[An Tarbh]

O'Connell picking up his bad habits it would seem, thinking he's a centre again.

 

[Bumbadum]

God...the handling errors are painful to watch.

 

[noikz]

Embarrassing doesn't even come close.

 

[An Tarbh]

woeful pass from Williams, not giving Bowe a chance with that one.

 

[Bumbadum]

Nice move from the Lions, mercifully Earls makes a lovely take and then a rubbish pass ends it all.

 

[Meh]

Shane drops it at the tryline.

Ouchie.

 

[An Tarbh]

not a good couple of minutes for Williams, was some decent work from O'Connell with his carrying but let down by Williams there.

 

[Bumbadum]

Williams a bit greedy there, it would have come.

things looking up though.

 

[Meh]

A year ago that'd have been an easy try imo.

 

[Meh]

How many penalties are the Lions going to get without doing anything?

heavens above.
