Come on Lions ?

 

[Piece]

Looking forward to this. Added bonus is that I have a further reason not to watch The 100. ?

Tough watch this...

 

[Piece]

Not alot going on here.

 

[Beezerk]

It's just like watching England

 

[Deleted member 15344]

That’s the way to start the second half ?

 

[Beezerk]

Will Greenwood is awful as a commentator

 

[Deleted member 15344]

And that’s the reply- on field decision going to give it , can’t overturn that

But the SA TMO has overturned it ?‍♂???

 

[Deleted member 15344]

That’s a try

What a brilliant second half -great start to the series
what a performance from Lawes

 

[Piece]

Near shut out second half. ???

 

[spongebob59]

Cracking win, will be a large ice bath to get them all in

 

[HeftyHacker]

Didn't expect that! Not followed this tour too closely with me having a newborn but managed to catch the second half of this and was really impressed. Very mature performance and Lawes was a beast.

Looking forward to the other two tests now after dreading a whitewash prior to the tour. Especially given some of the selections - in particular the midfield.

Good win - awful commentary!

He's a pretty mean golfer too! Another reason to not let your sister anywhere near him!
Still the best half-back in the world imo - though I haven't studied all possible candidates for a while! Up there with Sid Going in my 'all time greatest' number 9s!

All very scrappy. Anthony Watson looks very vulnerable under a high ball, Courtney Laws was superb, and Alun Wyn Jones clearly very important with his calm decision making. But the Lions look like a thrown together Barbarians team, rather than a side that has had a proper build up. South Africa full of mistakes, don’t look fit either, unsurprising as their build up was similarly non existent. This is a long way from being a classic Lions tour.

Well looks like is the little rant against the referees has worked ?

 

[Piece]

Another really ugly game of rugby. War of attrition

Out muscled in the 2nd half, can't wait to see the erasmus video on this one ?
