All the Leinster fans calling out Aki and letting Ringrose slide I see.

Nienaber’s been a massive downgrade on Lancaster. I don’t think that’s the only factor, some players are aging, their replacements aren’t stepping up as yet, but we’re not a team with ideas. If we can’t outmuscle our opposition, we’ve got nothing. I’m watching us hammering away with one-out runners...

Piardi has f**ked the Wobs at many rucks, but that was the right call How? Potter was the only guy there. If you wanted to be pedantic you could argue he had one arm on the ground. But ruck formed was just wrong. A ruck is not formed until two opposing players are engaged over the ball. Potter was ...

Reinach is really not a good scrum-half.

ABs deserve that, but that should be a pen at the end for me, the first couple of counterruckers do great, the next couple (inc Beauden at the end) just fly off their feet and seal the ball off.

Maybe, but it was a tucked arm/shoulder to the head, he got lucky they didn't look at replays as foul play trumps everything.

grimoald

That actually probably should have been a yellow for Tupaea.

Great by Savea.

grimoald

The Boks have upped things, but Pollard sitting so deep just kills their attacking momentum.

grimoald

Dickson's had a very good game imo, but that ruck there where the ABs 'train' was all on their hands and knees waiting for the exit infuriated me.

grimoald

Legal over the shoulder?

grimoald

That's an awful call, clear knock on from Morgan.

grimoald

For all the (correct) talk about how a few of the Irish players have been sub par, you know who has done absolutely fudge all - Chessum.

grimoald

Great finish. Farrell should have rung the changes Lions look wrecked all game Yep. I guess his feeling was that if he rung the changes there would be loads of talk about devaluing the game and stuff, but in reality I think the urgency and energy from those other players would have added a lot today.

grimoald

Bloody hell Hugo

grimoald

I'm not sure that is a try at all.

But that one Wob very lucky not to get a yellow for coming offside and slowing JGP down a couple of phases before

grimoald

Farrell again.

faz shovelled him shite and bundee was offside

Faz absolutely shovelled him shite, but then he needed to hold the ball, and not give the fudge up when the ball was live.

grimoald

It wasn't Bundee overrruning Sam, it was Farrell holding on to the ball for too long like a wit kant - when he did hold on for that long he needed to hit the miss pass not to Kinghorn with the defender on top of him.

Skelton was being a dick, but the ref was dealing with it so really stupid from Porter. Looked like skelton was concerned for ryan. I bet you his first thought was to lean over him to assert dominance - he initially reached out to grab him. Then the ref pushed him back. I think after that he was co...

Filth from the lions.

grimoald

LOL at Oz director trying to make a nothing ruck into something with the replays (ignoring Skelton's one earlier).

grimoald

That was a pretty lazy/tired set from the Lions, lots of isolated carriers.

grimoald

Pietsch is having a monster game

grimoald

I'd be very tempted to make sure everyone of the original 38 who is still on tour gets a test cap (not moving to one of the tour replacements unless they need to - i.e. if Furlong or Kelleher can't go you bring in Bealham or George). So something like the below is still a really strong team that I r...

grimoald

That is not an illegal clearout

grimoald

Fair play.

Absolutely fudging shocking off the kick off though.

He's not right up top.

He does look quite simple.

grimoald

Rassie definitely taking notes of that tactic.

grimoald

I think Aki is better than Tuipuloto (and I reckon Farrell thinks the same), but the easy and right thing to do now is start the Scottish midfield together. Only spots in the XV where there is any interest are 6, 7 and 15. Bench is interesting though, reserve front row picks itself, but after that t...

grimoald

Moronic by Curry, It might be mitigated down as there was another tackler, but it shouldn'yt be.

grimoald

I think White is very good, but that was poor decision making there - did the short pass to Schoemann when he should have gone wide, then did the long pass when they should have just gone through the hands.

grimoald

The Brumbies seem to have scored every 22 entry, which will definitely be a worry.

And those entries have almost all come from big Lions errors/pens.

grimoald

No Brumbie was on their feet there.

grimoald

Its a try, but you probably can't give it on the evidence.

grimoald

Be interesting to see if VDF scored that, but was a really badly managed maul.

grimoald

Lazy clearout by McCarthy, then absolutely wank body position at the ruck by Stuart there.

grimoald

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 - freak...

grimoald

Excellent score, Ringrose saw Jones putting his hands up and has raised his game to that level.

grimoald

And

given my last two posts about Curry and Smith.
