[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

FFS.

 

[Kiwiwomble]

Gareth Evans is one of the most underated players in the comp!

 

[Skylinerd1]

Justice.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

JJ will want to forget that defensive run.

[Leonormous Boozer]

JJ having a tough time, some obstruction there.

Love to see a better angle there, Henshaw obviously thinks he was blocked. Well deserved try though.

 

[GoTheNaki]

ooo...

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

What the hell was Henshaw doing there?

 

[Skylinerd1]

Justice.

And the Highlanders coaches are showing some very very good tactics to use against this Lions team.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Blocking as ****, Like


Was just about to say Lawes has been absolutely everywhere, but that was a poor missed tackle

If I hadn't seen Warburton pregame I wouldn't know he was playing

 

[GoTheNaki]

Hard to say whether he'd have got there...

Oh... Lawes...

 

[GoTheNaki]

Whats your concussion laws over there??

 

[Bluemoon]

Some interesting calls at the breakdown, Highlanders sealing off quite a lot and it's not being picked up. But the ref is super rugby when it comes to releasing and the Highlanders playing the ref well. Lions defence nowhere near the same level as the last game, which is significant. Think we can lose this game without it being damaging really.

Shame I have to go to work!

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Good work rate by Henshaw.

 

[big ginger 8]

The Lions players look like they only started training together this week. All on different wavelengths.

Great tracking back from Henshaw.

 

[GoTheNaki]

Wow, good time for a turnover, damn.

 

[Skylinerd1]

Tavita... he's got Fekitoa's disease. That was a try for all money if he had faked right and passed left.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

This game is just Irish players making up for others defensive errors!

 

[GoTheNaki]

Tavita... he's got Fekitoa's disease. That was a try for all money if he had faked right and passed left.

Yeah.... Hes pretty damn selfish that kid. Always has been tbh.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Deserved try.
