Never realised that Itoje was such a well-spoken, level-headed bloke. :lol: Always imagine him talking like an absolute knacker and being a total hot head. He played well and is a great player. Don't get the critics. He is, the utter bastard! Makes it hard to hate him. Why would someone jump to ima...

Would have been a blow-out if they scored 3 extra tries that they didn't score? Sure. :lol: Just kidding. Two of those held-up tries were probably tries, but to be fair impossible to give after seeing the evidence. Unlucky, but that's the game. The VDF one was clearly grounded - kinda weird decisio...

Lions had 3 tries held up. Without that would have been a blowout. Good d to be fair. Would have been a blow-out if they scored 3 extra tries that they didn't score? Sure. :lol: Just kidding.

Well done Lions. Good game. Happy with how our boys played, a lot of second and third (and 4th technically) stringers our there and kept it relatively close. I kind of wish we had the full compliment now. Would have pushed them pretty bloody close. Lions had 3 tries held up. Without that would have...

Well if they didn't give any of the others, they definitely can't give that.

I know this isn't the first-choice Lions side, but you'd have to think the first-choice Brumbies side would give them a run for their money. I mean ... even this weakened side is doing that really.

Yep.

More like a front-rower with a temporary niggle, burner, cramp or something.

Lions have been unlucky in that regard twice now. Just bad luck.

So easy, lovely line, but a failure of the system. Sheahan is about 6`4“ Is he first choice hooker for the lions? I think he's been great every time I've seen him play. That hand off was something else. He's on course to overtake Wood as Ireland's best ever hooker, he's an exceptional player - frea...

Yes. By far and away first choice

The blow-out began with that moron-kick on half-time.

Now it's just a question of how bad it will be.

That Lions hooker is f-cking huge. He looks like a giant next to the Brumby props. 6'2 is abnormally tall for a hooker True, though I would have guessed he was even bigger. He's like 6'2 and 6'2 wide. I mean ... Genge is also listed as 6'2 and that hooker is clearly taller than Genge. They're all f...

What does he actually have to do to impress you?

Old mate seems to think players not cleaning out effectively is the ball-carrier's fault.

Very under strength Brumbies have done well to hold the near full strength Lions out for 15 minutes. I hope the floodgates don’t open now. You can almost be assured they will. It's another bane of Australian rugby: coming out all fired up and looking hard for 15 minutes. As soon as the opposition s...

WTF was that off load? That shit needs to be jettisoned from Australian rugby with extreme prejudice. Possession is king. Even if you're going nowhere, you're wearing them out; defence is way more bruising and tiring than offence. Speculative nonsense offloads and bullshit midfield bombs are the abs...

The problem they were not providing a platform upfront. The McReight try came directly from a Harry Wilson carry which passed the advantage line. And this, unfortunately for Aus, is the Lions strongest point imo. Physicality and defensive power at the gain line. Yes, the Wobs have a number of stron...

How so? Daugunu for sure but most of the PI players on the Wallabies either were born in Australia or moved there at a relatively young age. Pretty different to the likes of Aki, Tuipulotu, Duhan, JGP and Lowe who all played professional rugby in their countries of origin before going on to qualify...

Really, just change the name to the BI & A Lions already. I think they have had a minimum of 3 antipodeans in their backline for every game they’ve played. It’s not a criticism. The Australian team could just as easily be called the Wallabies and Pacific Islanders. How so? Daugunu for sure but most...
