Warm Up Match 4: Highlanders v British & Irish Lions (Dunedin)

[Skylinerd1]

Scot Mcleod's tactics in this game have been spot on. Its a pity Fekitoa and his brother on the wing are such greedy buggers.

CJ looks as sizzled as I've ever seen him.
But well this is a scrappy game in that Lions all know they are lads fighting for a test spot off someone else. But again I will ask how can you put Warburton in ahead of the 3 from Saturday. He has been quiet today

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Nowhere near as intense a game as Saturday.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

SOB and POM completely out played Warburton and Haskell.

Interested to see how Tips play this game should suit him.

Warburton hasn't done a great deal, Haskell even less. Stander looks lost.

 

[Truth]

IMO the Lions, Highlanders and the referee are performing well.

 

[MikeTheNative]

I heard talk before the tour that Stander is carrying an injury and playing through the pain. For his performances so far I'm beginning to think that is true.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

I know biggar had a good half but you still feel like his backs don't have time on the ball.

 

[GoTheNaki]

WOW i was in the dunny when Fekitoa DIDNT throw that pass 3v2.............. Wowwww.

 

[GoTheNaki]

Commentators here in NZ bigging up Warburton.

 

[The Jones Boy]

Bugger, gotta go for a blood test...
Good luck Highlanders.

He shouldn't be allowed to play and risk getting an even bigger injury

Seymour!!!!!

 

[big ginger 8]

Seymour wins a ball in the air and scores. Great read from him.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

First good thing a Scot has done this tour.

 

[Skylinerd1]

Yep HL just got a bit to cheeky with the kick pass there.

 

[GoTheNaki]

Hmm Sopoaga :/

I hope Gatland doesn't put him in the team just because he is captain, there are plenty of others who will be able to do it.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Cheeky!

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

So far in order of classy crowds its been

Highlanders > Crusaders > Blues

The noise was deafening when the lions were kicking for goal against the blues.
