Oooh, super edgy, bro.

That's got to be the most obvious troll I've ever seen on this forum.
What a melt.

For all the worries and concerns about tough tour and pitching the effort etc., these games are just getting better and better. That Maori side looks very very tasty and I'm a little chubby thinking about Saturday's game.

Gwan the Loins.

Fault of the attack coach innit.

Imagine if it's one test a piece and there's a contentious call in the 3rd. My stars! http://cdn.greenandgoldrugby.com/804F73/gagr/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Romain-Poite.jpg Ah, how I look forward to the fun of Poite's broken English referrals to a South African TMO where neither one can quite und...

There are many more wingers that will be mugged over by Reiko Ioane in the next 12 months. Nowell not a Lions test player, but a very capable dirt tracker. Always happy to see him on the England team sheet.

terryfinch wrote:Henry Slade - discuss.

Pretty disappointing. Trying too hard to force plays at the wrong time, which results in lost ball or poor decision making while simultaneously having an exorbitant skillset that allows him to do the outrageous.

Frustrating. As one of the other guys said...a luxury.

Eddie's successor should be being introduced to the system now. Strikes me continuity of approach is key. If you're investing a lot into these lads at 18-20 years old, surely you want to make sure that investment continues rather than get the latest overseas big shot who might just tear it all up a...

How the hell journeymen like Henderson, Ryan, Biggar, Payne and Laidlaw got on tour ahead of Launchbury, Ford, Slade and Care is beyond me. Need to stop having a clandestine quota system in Lions selections. Up your game ffs :lol: Ryan who btw ? I think he means Donnacha Ryan, the one that looks a ...

Baxter is an interesting one for me. He's already done some international coaching with England, and would benefit from a 'chief-in-waiting' role alongside Eddie in the run up to Eddie leaving, but there's plenty of time for that and, in the meantime, he can continue to focus on developing his club ...

If Farrell has the kind of Lions tour I'm expecting him to have, I think he could easily assume captaincy of the England side on his return.

That frees up the hooker slot for George, LCD, Taylor and the full back slot for Watson, Daly, Nowell etc. The rest of the co-captains think can do one.

You've got to like the Solomona comment.
2 really bad defensive errors followed up by a match winning try, beating 3 (or 4?) Argies on the way to the line.

Not that quiet.

Itoje hand clapping annoys me - even Stuart Barnes said it was his "trademark clap" He reminded of of those clapping monkey wind up toys (in actions , I am most deffo not saying he looks like a monkey before any smart Alec goes for the banhammer) That is what I posted Beals u nobber It is not my fa...

I actually had a friend un-friend me on his weekend, after I fired a salvo (bantz, obvs) over the number of Hakas as a wind up. He immediately jumped to call me insensitive and racist and, after a couple of exchanges, did the deed. Still a little bemused actually but taught me one thing. Haka. Serio...

Sinkler was the biggest winner given he's never even started an international. Was going ok until that tap and go :uhoh: I think he'd seen that he was due to be subbed off after the George confusion, and clocked a chance to get one final good impression into the coaches minds. Sadly he cocked it up...

The Lions numbers under each pundit is already pissing me off.

Having said that, Scotty Q has #666...cool motherfkr.

Good player, will have some great stories to tell his grandkids.

Upper end - Ramsay's Bread St Kitchen is showing the games. Lower end - the various Corney and Barrows are showing the games. Everywhere in between - Steam Wine Bar looks sold out; might check out the Factory House and a few other likely venues today or tomorrow. Not quite as salubrious as a C&B, b...

Was chatting with odave over the weekend and, given the relative predominance of City Wankers in the cabal, perhaps a Liverpool Street based midweek venue should be identified? Picks up the Old Street end (Dave) and the Leadenhall lot (Braz, Henners) as well as anyone in between (me). Anyone got any...

Was grandstanding of the highest order that served little purpose.

He should be holding both to account for policy questions rather than trying to pick holes in previous stances. Having said that, I think his comment around Teresa May as a blowhard will define the rest of the campaign.

Yup. Long tighthead bind doesn't appear to offer good leverage once the set is called, but then he's playing pro rugby so who am I to comment.

I never really rated him before, but he's formed a great partnership alongside Danny Cips as a 2nd 5/8, rather than a bosher 12, and the extra time/space seems to suit him well. It's great for Wasps, as they have 2 good playmaking options that pose markedly different threats.

Two teak-tough quality teams. Billy playing very well, as is Armand.

It's a no-brainier to be fair. Protect your most important players while challenging the Supe teams to 'stake a claim' by claiming a scalp or two.
