I get mine from the Reddit match Fred. Can't post it as I'm on my phone, and not logged in my laptop.

Finn is officially a Lion! Makes a halfbreak and knocks it on.
Not a great look from the 'Canes player giving an injured Bigger grief after they scored that try.

Re: Lions
They can't really argue with that yellow, it was the third penas advantage he was playing within about 20 seconds.

Re: Lions
Been told by a rake of kiwis for a good 12 years that, that type of clear out is perfectly fine. Sure, it's not tuddlywunks...

Finally tuned in. Is Russell actually on? Biggar appears to be on.

Seems like I shouldn't have tuned in. Just thrown away the lead by the looks of it.

LOL. Henderson. He's really grown in to the tour after a very poor start but he's biffed this one.

That's a great comeback from the hurricanes.

For sure, it's always the risk when clearing out by lifting a leg. Shame, he was having a belter.Mikey Brown wrote:LOL. Henderson. He's really grown in to the tour after a very poor start but he's biffed this one.

Re: Lions
Lovely play from Laidlaw and Seymour. Laidlaw looked to have some decent gas on him still - been a long time since I've seen him do anything like that... It was Laidlaw wasn't it?
A downer - still can't believe we released Russell for this nonsense. 5 mins of rugby maybe?

Re: Lions
Agreed, these call ups of his seems to have made Gatland think it's a great idea to make his pack play the full 80. It's no wonder we've slowed down to a grind.hugh_woatmeigh wrote:Lovely play from Laidlaw and Seymour.

Re: Lions
You could see that coming. Laidlaw is about the last cat I'd want setting me up for a dropgoal. We've all seen it a few times with Scotland, it's about as telegraphed as you'll see.Big D wrote:Complete lack of composure at the end there.
Despite it being a draw, got to feel like the lions got away with one there.

Was Laidlaw as bad as it sounds? He's getting pelters.

15. Jack Nowell - 7
Kept composure under pressure. Would be a worthy recipient of a second test jersey the way he committed to role.
14. Tommy Seymour - 8
Sublime with his skill set and speed on the flanks and reaped benefits of his tackle on Black with a try 70 metres and 15 seconds later.
13. Jonathan Joseph - 5
Tried couple of hot kumara moves but both got mashed. Struggled to inject himself into proceedings with vim.
12. Robbie Henshaw - 4
Shoulder jiggered in first quarter which brought Halfpenny into action. Limited impact. Tour now appears over.
11. George North - 8
Saved 25th min try by securing ball. Maintained reputation as a Gulliver who can sap Lilliputian teams' energy.
10. Dan Biggar - 7
Kicked penalty in 11th min like Guinness Book Of World Records on hand. Brave, despite Laumape charging down his street.
9. Greig Laidlaw - 8
Waved saltire with pride. Top tackling, accurate box kicking, intercept to set up Seymour try. Decisive leadership.
8. CJ Stander - 7
Strong on feet. Fearless ploughing into tackle line without regard for inevitable panelbeating. Couldn't stop Fifita snipe.
7. Justin Tipuric - 6
Body position a concern on occasion. Limited involvement in latter stages but difficult given constant rove.
6. James Haskell - 7
Best game of tour. Tenacious tackling and bruising ball-running. Stumbled deliriously towards end.
5. Courtney Lawes - 7
Clean hands in lineout. Athleticism and commitment always welcome until pulled off midway through second half.
4. Iain Henderson - 8
Final silky hands in North try. Glut of involvement outside KPIs. Looks suited to aerobically-taxing rugby. Binned in 65th min.
3. Dan Cole - 6
Appeared to be in constant skirmishes like someone had questioned his pedigree. Endured the odd scrum difficulty.
2. Rory Best - 7
Threw a clean parabola to find lineout targets. Does he moonlight as a trap shooter? Kept team sparked as draw loomed.
1. Joe Marler - 6
Seemed to lie around the ruck like he'd gone on holiday to the Costa del Sol. Got in Hurricanes faces which sparked ire.

Re: Lions
In contrast, the Telegraph gives him a 5/10 and says his box-kicking was shite.
