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

[The Jones Boy]

Feitoa hasn't kicked on at the top level after being given a good long run at it.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Entertaining start to the game.

Lawes has been massive so far.

 

[big ginger 8]

Henderson is just freakish in his strength.

 

[Kiwiwomble]

This is exactly why he wasnt selected for the tests. He either costantly runs sideways or doesnt give passes when its on. the guys a muppet and this is coming from a highlanders supporter.

thays a bit harsh for someone who's proven to be a pretty loyal servant, if still argue what he brings outweighs his downsides

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Don't think either of these sides has heard of ball security

 

[The Jones Boy]

Sopoaga putting the correct foot forward for test selection

Agree great player for the Highlanders... not so much at Test level he has all the skills but lacks foresight we expect at 13.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

A lot of the much maligned players have started well, Henderson, Best, the Hask, Nowell and even Bigger. Centres are class in defence.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

The good and the bad of Webb there

 

[The Jones Boy]

Warburton secured a turn over off Fekitoa don't forget, that should secure him a starting spot in the tests ;-)

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Stander left his hands in Limerick I think!

 

[HenryChinaski]

Jesus whats up with Stander.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Barnes just set the world record for most feet in his mouth at one time!

 

[MarkyH]

Too many players trying to hard

 

[The Jones Boy]

Lions handling is a bit dodgy.
Is it a bit wet out there making the ball greasy?
These evening games can make for a handling nightmare as the dew comes down.

 

[MarkyH]

Under the roof isn't it?

 

[Kiwiwomble]

Feitoa hasn't kicked on at the top level after being given a good long run at it.

I think he has, everyone started double marking him after he burst on the scene and so he worked on his defence to round out his game

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Lol Barnes just said touches the tip.

 

[The Jones Boy]

Fekitoa off after 15 minutes, not great but at least Marty banks is on.

 

[HenryChinaski]

Barnes just set the world record for most feet in his mouth at one time!

"Great kick, not his fault it was out on the full. Well it was his fault he should have known"

What?
