Re: Lions squad named
Phew, over an hour for the half.
That should suit Lions who have edged territ. & poss.
There for the taking if Lions can keep control.Can't see SA keeping 15 on the pitch.

Con. miss by Pollard.

Bloody hell. We’re only a few weeks removed from your team winning the Prem in one of the greatest domestic games of all time. One week after the best Prem semi of all time. Chin up.Mikey Brown wrote:I’m not sure I even like this sport anymore. Absolutely dire. It’s like watching NFL.

I thought that wasn’t real rugby though. This is the pinnacle isn’t it?Mellsblue wrote:Bloody hell.

Re: Lions squad named
Our backrow simply hasn’t performed in the carry at all. Curry has many qualities but he’s not a great handler and not a penetrative carrier. Lawes and Conan totally anonymous 
For the same reason Gatland has to make a ruthless call re AWJ but I doubt he will

I trust that Mikey Brown will agree that this shows that including increasing numbers of Scots in the 23 inevitably infects the rest of the side with negativity

Who told you that? I suppose it depends who you talk to. I’m sure some of the fat chaps who can’t catch think this is a great match.Mikey Brown wrote:I thought that wasn’t real rugby though.

Re: Lions squad named
Yup, lions have disintegrated. Next week will be a tough ask. Big rethink needed, possibly the lions need to consider using the backs.
