fark, sometimes i am far too clever for myself :sick:

How was the results for everyone ?

Form results imo. I did think, and I guess alot of others also thought all nz semi's so the Lions really impressed. Hopefully they can play just as well next week and get into the finals.

Been looking at the odds of both Semi finals and if the matches are as close as the betting we are in for a couple of crackers

Both games will be close imo - Highlanders has been impressive, but maybe the travelling can catch them out in the last 20 min - if the Lions can be at worst one score behind going in to the last quarter I think they can win

Chiefs imo a team with no weakness, they scrum well, their line-outs are good and they have line breakers among the backs; the Hurricanes looked vulnerable in the line-outs against the Sharks and also do not have as strong a scrum as the Chiefs imo - if it wasn't for the travelling, I'd be very confident on a Chiefs win, and they could still be good enough to hold on.

Will be interesting to see if the Springbog coach take note of how ordinary the Stormers were made to look by the Chiefs :dry:

Seen a bigger crowd at the Vaal, or is norm to have empty seats in this stadium?

Ardie Savea is a freak... has more talent in one hand than most proffesional rugby players...

Has the Lions game started?

An awesome performance by the Lions - the Highlanders kept on coming, but the Lions were just too good - and they could even afford to take it easy in the last 10 minutes; I have never been a big Jantjies fan, but his performance on Saturday was outstanding - Pollard / Lambie will have to pull out all the stops to get the Springbok flyhalf spot back

Frodo, I have NEVER seen an all round performance like that by a flyhalf. But then again, the Lions appear to be playing for each other...one for all, and all for one...

I will be shocked if the Lions win in Wellington. The ref and the video ref will decide this match and as it is in NZ there can only be one winner. The Lions will have no extra luggage to book in when they fly out of NZ

As per Hollywoodbets to win outright:

4/10 Hurricanes
18/10 Lions
