Surely that's getting called back for the forward pass?

Reinach's speed of delivery at the end was beyond ponderous

Springbok defence is kak.

Not sure they have the pack any more to play bully boy rugby for the full 80.

Last I checked there 100% were posters from Connacht, Glasgow and Edinburgh. There weren't many Italian posters (understandable given the language difference - game is booming France, but very few of them here either), and I don't know which (if any) of Benneton or Zebre they supported. Logisticall...

Was interesting watching the RC the last few weeks. SA and NZ have had such dominant packs for so long, but both probably lost the physical battle with their opponents. Pack looks a tad lightweight, especially on carriers, but it was lost by the backs inability to catch a high ball. Not sure how tha...

Just watched. Incredible from the Pumas, what an atmosphere! Have added a game in Argentina to my bucket list. Matera gave one of the great performances and the scoreline should probably have been wider. Feel like NZ are carrying a few too many journeyman these days, but still look dangerous from an...

Hello Giojuarez, Redderneck and Conspicouous, Hope all's good. In 2013 I kindly invited you all to Across the Tasman. I now have a mate I'd like to invite, and thought my invites would auto-renew each year, but alas, you just get 4 full stop. Any chance any of you either have some invites left, or d...

The last try: https://youtu.be/kZlhiT36QHY?t=4887 Great involvements from Englishmen, Scotsmen, Welshmen and Irishmen. Anyone denegrating the Lions can go f u ck themselves. Its fudge i ng amazing :thumbup: Welshman. You're right though That carry from Stuart was a moment for the ages. Made all the...

Classic Kinghorn. Everything dies with him. He does some amazing stuff, but forces it way, way too much. Maybe you need to force it more with Scotland, but he's way too loose to be a Lions starter.

Freeman and Itoje have been poor.

Bench probably hasn't had the impact we'd hoped

Clarkson is kicking on as an excellent player- his ability isn't the issue. Playing wise i have no problem with his call up. Tackle bag holding-wise? He'll get minutes midweek. He knows Farrell and all the systems and is at least on par with other options. Dominated the Bulls scrum recently which t...

Osborne called up as cover for Kinghorn. Who the f*ck is Osborne? He was shortlisted for World Rugby Breakthrough Player of the Year award last year, so if you don't even know who he is that says more about you than anything, in truth. Osbourne should have replaced Daly. Both cover all positions 11...

Happy with that team. Kind of thought Jack Crowley might have started this one, maintaining that partnership with Casey but Prendergast finished the season strong. Great that Ahern has made it. Pity there's no room for Gavin in the centre. He'll have to make do with Portugal. Prendergast finished t...

20 years later the Kiwi U20's go into battle with their Italian hosts. 2 minutes in, the Kiwi 8 hits the Italian tighthead with a big shot, leaving the Italian motionless on the ground. There's a slight pause, then 4 or 5 of the scrotes decide that whooping and hollering like the cast of Glee is the...

Great to be able to cheer for players you normally dislike. What the Lions is all about. Ben Earl is still a cùnt. Whichever way you cut it, without Doris, the backrow is weak. Pack really lacked tight carriers today. That being said the structure of the team was hugely encouraging, a lot of good pl...

Dai has a unique way of showing he doesn't care involving going on and on about how little he cares. Nicely put! The CC is also sh!t I believe. But presumably he'll be watching the Prem final. I may watch both if time allows. But given the choice of watching domestic finals between: 1. Two clubs wi...

Yep, he's a better fullback than JOB, weird call.

MOTM means nothing to me tbh but was that the Scotland game where they lost their 10 and 12 after 20 minutes? Whether he was the best or not isn't the point. The point is that he played well enough to deserve to be there. As he did in his previous caps and as he did in the two months prior to the s...

Must feel great.

It's unsurprising that the most affluent nation in the competition can afford better wages. Scots had their chance to throw off the English yoke

That Baird pass needed to be more sympathetic. No matter though. Really strong half Baird is playing fantastically well.

Thank God I'll be next to Inch strand when this game is on, I'll need a good long walk after it. I said WALK. I'm from Inch, enjoy. Annascaul would have the closest pub with a screen.

Whatever has happened to Brian Gleeson. I would have said he was a better prospect than Pollock 18 months ago. Now one's slogging away with Munster A and the other is a Lion.

Anyone have any insight?

I’m sorry but no one wants to say it. If Leinster had a different 10 they would have won. A three point loss where Prendergast was involved in three of Northampton’s tries tells its own story. Yea yea system failures, collective responsibility that’s all true. But it was a tight loss where their 10...
