[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 809625, member: 39190"] I too rate the Lions scrum way ahead of that of the 'Canes but I've learnt to not expect that to be a huge swing unless both sides make an unusual number of handling errors and/or the 'Canes don't scrum clever or get the benefit of doubt (or simply non-calls at scrum) at home. I expect them to do so. I can't see the scrum being too big of a factor TBH but I'm hoping I'm wrong. I think the line-out should be even enough. Thats the one facet of play the Highlanders had a slight advantage over the Lions. I expect the line-out will be more determining as both teams have been kicking well and have been handling well and have brought the same approach into the play-offs and I don't see why that should not continue to be the case.
