La Grange absolutely killed them. Seemed to break 2 tackles everytime he got the ball. Lions should have won by more IMO.

I looked at the line-up on http://www.superxv.com/news/super15_rugby_news.asp?id=29268 and he wasnt listed, didnt see him out there.

He had a blinder, wish I had him in my fantasy team and not Waylon Murray who had a quiet game.

Based on that game I think the Lions are looking good to stay off the bottom but a few injuries and you never know. One thing is for sure I cant wait to watch the Force v the Lions, that should be a cracker.
