Re: Lions is like a party to which Scots aren't invited'

I'm pretty ambivalent. I love the lions and would support a team with no English, however if it's been going on for four tours that's 16 years which is long enough to lose the interest of an entire generation. The sweaties need to get better, but they also need to be at the party and I really don't ...

I have no problem with this.

Re: SBW shoulder v Mako on Barrett

Vunipola's looked particularly nasty. The way he dived in on a player lying on the ground with the pointy end of his shoulder, after the ball had already left. You could tell by the glint in his eye that he wanted to seriously hurt somebody. That could have put him in ward 4. I hope not Tehui, that...

Kruis has always had pretty fairly ordinary hands in open play so I wasn't surprised to see him coughing up the ball when under the sort of pressure only the All Blacks can bring. He's England's starting lock because of his line-out prowess which the likes of Borthwick put above genuine ball player...

Pretty much what eug said. If the Lions can boss it up front, and kick their penalty goals, then they're every chance. If we gain anything close to parity up front, and Beauden starts to wave the wand at flyhalf, while kicking his goals, you're in trouble. This sums it up nicely for me. I hope that...
