Second half under way and the Lions are in possession

The Lions dominated both territory and possession by about 63%-37% forcing the Hurricanes to make 59 tackles while making only 33 themselves in the first half but were unable to penetrate some ferocious Hurricanes defence as they trail at the break

Despite the weather conditions , both sides have thrown caution to the wind and are well and truly giving it their all. The home side displaying that fast and disciplined defense which got the record for the best defense in the competition. The Lions have had good possession but, have just come a little short when in good territorial positions with ball in hand. That can be credited to the line speed on defense by the home side. The second half will surely see the pace of the game increasing as both sides look to close off the game and get that all important victory.
