Denny Solomona is some finisher

Looks like Murray might have taken Hogg out of the tour (for his mate Zebo I guess

I didn't think what happened to Hogg would be tour ending.
Yeah, Gatland did a presser today saying he's being referred to a specialist and they'll make a decision in the next 48hrs.
Yeah he is. Not seen much of Sale but he looks impressive going forward. His defense however was very poor leaked 2 tries in second half. But He's only been in Union for 5 months reading defensive lines will come with time.
England/Argentina game was fun to watch. To beat Argentina a tier 1 nation away in a tough atmosphere with missing over 22 players (16 with the Lions) was very impressive. Add to that 4 uncapped players starting 7 uncapped on bench. Tom Curry looks the real deal hope Sam Underhill gets a start soon though.
Stuart Hogg out for the rest of the tour. Running into Connor Murray's elbow wasn't just painful but it's ended up being tour ending.
Game 4: Lions vs Highlanders
Highlanders vs Lions at the Forsyth Barr Stadium. Conditions aren't an issue as the match will be played under the roof. Angus Gardner from Australia is the ref.
Lions offside, Highlanders will take a shot at goal from in front. Lika Sopaga puts the highlanders in front 3-0 after five minutes.
Just read that he must be gutted!
What happened to Fekitoa it looked like a Webb didn't wrap his arms in the tackle to me
Highlanders should be a try up, Fekitoa murdered that opportunity.
TMO take yer pick mate
Up to the TMO we go, Ryhs Webb may have scored. They'll also check if Seymour scored too. No try for Seymour. Webb lost control while trying to ground the ball, no try. The Lions were under advantage, so back for a penalty in front of the posts. Kick at goal is successful, 3-3 16 minutes in.
Good point there about Stander, he's not getting to go forward at all at the moment. There were articles before the tour here saying he wasn't actually fit, but that he'd be needed regardless due to Vunipola being out.
CJ Stander penalised for not releasing, tough shot at goal coming up for Sopoaga. Sopoaga's kick is no good.
I'm confident scrums wnt be an issue post match, unlike Saturday.
He's just been penalised again for not releasing.
As opposed to being South African
Highlanders go over – Nahola try!
Waisake Naholo with the opening try, Highlanders 10 Lions 3 26 minutes in.
Rib injury for Lawes?
More than a hint of blocking in there for the try too!

Can make a case to say that Robbie Henshaw was obstructed before the try.
Nice try Joseph!
Biggar's hands were awesome there Joseph over!
Jonathan Joseph scores for the Lions, 10-8 kick to come. Kick is good 10-10 just a little over half an hour in.
This is a cracking game 
Biggar taken without the ball* and is down
*legitimately

Good contest this, the Lions seem to be up and running on this tour now.
Seymour Butts!
"One too many kick-passes", no kidding
Webb is everywhere
Best (Sinclair) tackle wasn't late which is the offence stated by the ref … just illegal
At last a scrum!
Captain try!
I was craning my neck as if that helps getting over the gain line
Awesome atmosphere in this closed stadium!
Lion's defence Spoke too soon!
Spoke too soon!Oooops! They just done us at our own game. 20-22
How can a lions player pass "back" to a Highlander that isn't offside … if he passed forward it would be an offence????
At least he's consistent!
