I spent the whole game waiting for Duhan to catch a high ball, I think I'm still waiting, never seen him so poor before.

Lions would have won if he hadn't been playing.

That's a little extreme, he had a bad game, he didn't throw all the intercepted offloads or knock on.

he had a bad game

Except he didn't.

In fact, he was pretty decent for the first thirty. He made a poor error in contact high upfield, but which eventually led to a Pumas try due to lack of Lions shape. Overall he was no worse than the majority of Lions on the pitch last night.

I get that Daly & Hansen looked lively, but they came on against a rapidly fatiguing side.

He did have a bad game. Can’t see Andy selecting him over Lowe when the tests start. He’s too much of a one trick pony. Zero aerial game and a massive deficiencies in defence
