Someone remind me how the Highlanders lost to that?

[Tim]

@act-crusader They had the high workrate and low impact of Luke Whitelock.

Primed for a move to the Blues then

Lions by plenty

[Tim]

@act-crusader Well, Luke Whitelock is to Top Level Rugby as Murphy Taramai is to any Super Rugby.

It's the travel that's going to hurt us. Tahs by 20.

[Stargazer]

Five minutes played and the Tahs are leading 7 - 0. Lions have had much ball yet.

[Stargazer]

Now, Folau with the try. Lions are a bit shit.

[Stargazer]

Brilliant try from Dyantyi (sp)!

[Stargazer]

Correct decision. Definitely a knock-on.

[Stargazer]

Lions try from a line-out maul. The Tahs' dominance lasted about 10-15 minutes. It's all Lions now.

19 - 14 Lions after 36 minutes.

[Stargazer]

Too easy that try from the Tahs' prop. Element of surprise.

Half time: 19 all

[KiwiMurph]

Very entertaining half of rugby.

Jackson has done well so far.

[Stargazer]

@kiwimurph That try from the Lions' 11 was awesome.

Brilliant - one of the tries of the year.

Marx, he's so good.
