Last week’s losers to the Waratahs take on last week’s winners against the Force in Jo’berg.
Sad days for the Highlanders with both fly half Nick Evans and winger Vilame Waqaseduadua both out with injuries.
Have not heard as yet what the injury toll is for the Lions.
I’m going for the Lions in this one as they were not outclassed by the Waratahs last week, the Highlanders have had bugger all time to recover from a physical game against the Force (not just the players but the weather was pretty hot to play a game of rugby). The Highlanders are without (regardless of missing 2/3 of a class front row) are still without Evans. Callum Bruce has really stepped up but still this is still early days for the youngster.
Also their midfield is pretty young but managed to hold their own against the Force’s backline and time will do them well.
If the Highlanders are going to win this then they need to put in a bigger ‘team’ effort than last week.
Just don’t think they can do it.
