Lions

Have any if our lot actually played near to or it of our skins?
Connor Murray lucky

Thought you'd like that Greg, given you don't like lions fans either

[hugh_woatmeigh]

Nope

Sky coverage first thing after half time - Ferris (I think) chatting away, lions fans cheering and waving behind the box. Fitzpatrick with a sour look on his face turns around shooing them with his hand. Facing away from the camera for a good few seconds on live TV!

Everyone here knows I don't support the Lions but trying to discourage fans from having a laugh at a rugby game. What next?

It was only a few secs but really rustled my jimmies.

We're not playing pal. Just the Irish, Welsh & English today.

[wanderingjock]

WE are playing, irrespective of whether I like the selection or not. You don't get that, the lions are not the jocks

Scotland isn't part of the Lions. Not really anyway. You don't seem to get that.

Ask someone who has played for them. I guess to win a lions series, or at least compete, and get selected on merit, without fifty fifty, you have to be on top of your game. A few have been selected wrongly, by the by. On match day I like the lions.

Embarrassing though

[ARM]

Well that was far from meh...

Great viewing in the last 15. A hell of a lot to do at Eden Park but should be a great finale.

[switchskier]

They won't win at Eden park but it's great that it's not a meaningless game. Lots to work on though to keep things competitive, particularly discipline. Surely vunipola can't start again?

[Cameo]

Sets it up nicely for next week but cant help thinking they were gifted that by Garces. From minute one he was giving very harsh penalties against NZ. If SBW's was a red, I dont see how Vunipola's wasn't. SBW was at least allowed to go for the tackle, Vunipola's was just a cheapshot

[Donny osmond]

Great stuff from our lads, really hung in there despite doing their best to give it away via penalties. Most un-kiwi like performance I've seen in years from the ABs, kicking away possession twice in the last 90 seconds, hardly used possession to gain ground at all, albeit with a nod to conditions and the red card but even so, I think the ABs will be hard on themselves at training next week. Still can't see us winning the series but still, we've a chance, and a result that lets me laugh at Greig for being such a sour-puss, double boom!

Good win in tricky conditions and given how big a game it was for the Lions.

SBW was an idiot and Gatland should have hooked Vunipola way earlier.

I've finaly caught the Vunipola incident I think the incident wasn't as bad and a yellow was fine. Don't understand the penalty for Sinklers jump. And what about his reaction....

I'm not so sure on the vunopola thing, it all happened very quickly. Surely the vaunted in pitch leaders should have had a word first, or was alun wynn Jones subbed by then, or just too tired to say even his own name....this might be much vaunted because of the win, but it was a terrible terrible performance. But the worse performance of the morning....sky commentary team 'apopectically the most awesomely bad' worst ever.

Commentary did feature one of the great lines of all time, "He saw the hole and went for glory". I might get it on a t-shirt.

Classic Cruden. FFS.

Aye, ropey win, but fuck it, it levels the series.

Happy Canada day Baz. We started in on the Cesar's at about 10 this morning.

Haha you too. Nice one. It's just gone 10 here, bit of brunch then on it I think. Loving the craft ale and taster flights they do.

[wanderingjock]

Taster flights?

[OptimisticJock]

About a quarter of a pint in each glass, usually get 4 or 5 at a time of different ales.

Ropey, but stopping these ABs from scoring a try is a pretty incredible feat. For all of our limitations and for all we were mainly competitive because we spent more than a half with a player advantage that's a massive thing.
