No BOD in the decider!

[steviep]

Look at the stats from last week. Top tackler was vunipola with 17 attempted 2 missed, bod and parling were next with 14 each non missed. Lydiate was something like 12 attempted 2 missed. The man is a revolving door

Vunipola may have been top tackler, but how many penalties did he give away at scrum time?

I wouldn't want to try and go through that Lydiate revolving door personally

Loads!!

I've got no real issue with personnel, BOD excepted, it's the style of play really. It's been tense but not exciting

Great result for the Lions today...

Won't be changing my opinion of Gatland though...

Yep smashed em!! Warren is vindicated. Would be interesting if the Aussies could scrummage though.

 

[Foxholer]

Hoping Lions win, but pick Aus - by about 5!

Wow!

Didn't envisage that!

Great result!

Last week they could... This week they couldn't... Some credit to Graham Rowntree I think...

And a Northern Hemisphere Ref...?

 

[pokerjoke]

So many experts[not].
Lmao at some of you lot,funny how everyones an expert.
Warren sees these boys day in day out BOD has been poor.

Cheers mate:thup:

You've got to offer an opinion before the event though! Hindsight is always 20/20.

Today was awesome but one slip away from it being academic.

Garland had me worried and I'm not talking about BOD. The team he picked was designed to front up and wear them down and win ugly...that's what I thought before the game. 80 mins later and it was a master class, so apologies to Gatland and the coaches as I know nothing! And the northern hemi ref is irrelevant here as the Aussies were totally overpowered in the scrum.

roar!

Didn't know judy was coaching. No wonder you were worried, heard she picked the munchkins in the second row!!

Fantastic win and well done Gatland.
Do you think all the hoo haa was more about him picking only a couple of England players than the team itself....I did.
BOD was a great player but it was time to go. He should not have selected for the tour.

It's the fact that he's a bloomin' Aussie for chris'sake ...

Bit of self editing required....

It's the fact that he's a bloomin' Upsidedowner for chris'sake ...

Red mist [and wine] had descended... Meant to say Upsidedowner...

Not sure that's true, most of the uproar came for the other side of the Irish Sea. As for bod not going on tour, did you not watch the six nations.?

No other English players except corbs, parling and maybe youngs x2 deserved a start

Yes, he was very good at defense but nothing like as good as he used to be going forward. IMVHO.

Reading Behind the Thistle at the moment [very good]
I was amazed to see that Scotland had 11 players on the 1951 Lions tour.

Halcyon days indeed!!!

Halcyon days indeed!!!

For home matches the players had to pay their own travel expenses and were 'allowed' to buy two match tickets for £1.10/-.

Changed days
