Lanfear alone was able to shield Rand, except that he sliced her weaves. There's no way 3xSemirhage=Lanfear.
Its closer to Semirhage almost=Lanfear. Thus, Semi alone should have a decent chance of Shielding Rand, and linked to a weak Aes Sedai, she definitely will be able to.

I think if he just stands there then Semirhage could cut him off. Lanfear certainly could - Rand said so himself.
He's probably referring to what it would take to smother him no matter what he tried. Rand's statement that it would take three women like Semirhage to cut him off is very close to Lanfear's suggestion that she link with Rahvin and Graendal to shield Rand and take him alive.
Agreed. It is almost like Cyndane vs. Alivia, only imagine that Alivia is as skilled, or nearly, as Cyndane. In that scenario, nothing Cyndane did would count.
This is also supported by Demandred waiting for a sa'angreal before going after Rand. The aim is to smother, there.
But, frankly, Semirhage vs. Rand alone should be a close contest. Semirhage=Aes Sedai vs. Rand should be heavily in favor of Semi, with Rand having a really tough time.
No three women could block him from the Source...

I never used a quote before. And there's no quote where Lanfear's shield is not succeeding.

Nope. 6 Aes Sedai couldn't take Raolain Darksbane or Yurian Stonebow...Semirhage = 3 Aes Sedai

Plus, Rand was splitting his flows, IIRC. Meaning he wasn't 100% one-on-one with her.

She was splitting her flows too... she was slicing his weaves of Air.
