He didn't land in a dangerous position as he was able to take some of the impact with his arms, but technically he went past the horizontal so the ref was left with no choice. I don't have a lot of sympathy - lifting players like that is stupid play.

I see where you are coming from. That was the sort of tackle which could have been a red had things gone wrong.

[Damo]

Great passage of play leading to a wonderful turn.

Hope that miss doesn't prove costly.

NIce by Feki there!

A few shoulders charges into rucks going on by both teams.

Clear yellow. Marshall is talking nonsense as usual.

Yes it was. Silly from Dean Mumm.

You lift the legs you roll the dice

WR have said that a player bracing with his hands is irrelevant. Can't escape sanction because you are lucky the tacklee braced himself.

Buckman getting his form back from 2015. Intriguing player...I really do think his game would be suited to test rugby.

[Rembrandt]

Some awesome signs for the Lions series. A Smith playing with confidence, B Smith beating tackles at will and Fekitoa showing some attacking nous to compliment his excellent defence. Not perfect but very promising.

[taniwharugby]

interesting passage there, looked like he lead with elbow, then Li had all rights to ball and player on ground was holding

[No Quarter]

Not a lot of consistency from the ref in terms of players not releasing the ball.

[hydro11]

Hooper shouldn't get the penalty there. He jostles around the ruck.

[taniwharugby]

@hydro11 not to mention he wasnt supporting his own weight

[Tordah]

Highlanders kicking has been bad.

[Tordah]

Thompson is circa 2014-2015's Buckman. Very good player.

[Bones]

@Tordah I mentioned he'll probably be an AB next year and got mocked...I feel justified...

[taniwharugby]

@Bones you are easy to mock TBF

I think he will be one eventually. Maybe next year EOYT.

Good player - different to Buckman though.

[Tordah]

too easy that try. Elliot Dixon has had a shit game so far.

Yeah he's very similar to ALB I reckon, just a bit more broadsword than rapier.

[Tordah]

how did he not score
