Revolutionary my arse
Freddy Mercury pissed all over him every way possible

Yep Freddie would be my number one. Wonderful singer. But Roth knew how to work a crowd just as well. Freddie was an artist. Roth was an entertainer.

I'm probably going to regret this but, how did EVH revolutionize the electric guitar? In many ways. Took a number of early techniques that others had toyed with, packaged them into one unique style and after recording "Eruption" sent millions of kids and established musicians to their bedrooms to t...

McCaws been saying it for years. There is very little between the top teams and it's about preparation. If you are off a wee bit it's tighter than a nun's naughty at test level. The Lions proved they are a top team. The ABs are still there as well. They ars still at the top of the pile in terms of c...

Still no statement from World Rugby on the penalty that wasn't and remedys for the future? Astonishing. Rugby may be a professional game now but still not run professionally. If it were Poite would be sidelined from the Rugby Championship and supported thru a reconditioning program.

Polite bottles it. We have TMOs and that should cut the need for instantaneous whistle blowing. Pouts should have put out his arm for advantage all blacks and let the game go on. Then refer to the TMO at the next stoppage. Wayne Barnes is a great exponent of this style of reffing. Always talking to ...

Poite had one job to do last night as a ref. A referee is the person of authority in the game who is responsible for presiding over the game from a neutral point of view and making on-the-fly decisions that enforce the rules of the sport not interpret the rules for himself. Poite has now opened a c...

So, when all this dust has settled and all the hyperbole has unhyped it self the truth is this. 5 wins from ten. Failed to win the series. We led NZ for 3minutes out of 240 minutes in the whole series. We had every chance going to win the series but didn't. Anyone saying this was a success has simp...

Savea played a blinder last year at Eden Park vs the Wobblies .. or was it the year before. People have short memories.

Assuming the conditions would be the same as this Lions series so that's 4 tests 3 with Southern Hemisphere refs and 1 Northern Hemisphere ref ..... likely a Frenchie.

I'd go 7 wins 2 losses and a draw.

vh5150

Lions will be happier with that result than the All Blacks. Lions rugby alive and well.

Felt Poite bottled it in the final 5 minutes though.

Credit to both sides on a tough series.

Clearly something happend to cause Naholo to drop like a sack of potatos. Commentators mentioned he failed a concussion test? SOB's arm is seen moving in and making contact with Naholos head. The head is sacred, regardless of intent. SOB will get a week off which is unfortunate but thems the breaks....

Re the ABs I'd leave the pack intact. They are more than up for it.

In the backs ... you may yet see a recall for Fekitoa .. would Hansen risk Ioane at centre ????

My backline would be

15 iDagg
14 R Ioane
13 Fekitoa
12 Laumape
11 J Savea
10 Barrett
9. Smith

Thought Hansen made the right decision. And it so very nearly worked out for the team. A bobbling line out steal at the end nearly turned the tide. AB pack was immense last night. Credit to the Lions for finding a way through the 14 man opposition in the final quarter.

vh5150

fudge it. Can't win em all.

But we won the Americas Cup!

vh5150

Despite being one man down this a test the ABs should have won. Remarkable.

Sonny Bill aside that was a hell of a gutsy performance from the ABs. Lions got their reward in the end.

ESPN stats http://www.espn.com.au/rugby/matchstats?gameId=290600&league=268565 Plenty for the ABs to work in on. They will be disappointed in their line out and tackle conversion rates. Lions tackle count drained them and ABs won the breakdown and metres gained handsomely. I. Summary ABs moved down ...

Watched the game last night from up high in the Eastern stand. Fabulous occasions and great banter with the Lions fans. That Lions try at the end of the 1st half had both sets of supporters on their feet applauding. But it was interesting hearing the Lions fans after that saying that will have awoke...

I can't believe the decline of Wallaby rugby. Frankly it's not good for the game down here. On the flip side one must congratulate the Scottish for a gutsy, controlled performance.

vh5150

SOB is an absolute world class loose forward. He has to start in the Lions back row next week vs the ABs. If Warburton is selected ??? then SOB has to play 6. He's cut from the same cloth as McCaw. Watching SOB and Kaino go at each other for 60 +mins would have me wanking like a teenager.

vh5150

Fair farks to the Lions. They dominated the game tonight and have done extremely well against two good packs over the past 2 weekends. The All Blacks are on notice. They need to do the tough stuff up front and earn the right to go wide in that 1st test. The kicking game of both teams will be crucial...

Sam Cane had a fine match. He was tackling just as hard after 80 minutes than at kick off. A work horse.

Tremendous result for the Lions and the tour. They may have failed to razzle dazzle but they were very good at what they did and showed tremendous discipline and control. Great on defence and the Crusaders couldn't deal with the rush tactics at all. Scrum interpretations were unusual but you play th...

Good game. Lions playing well but fark me their backline is on is unnaturally quick. Walking to lineouts, stepping into our lineout, slowing ball, high tackles. All the things that make British rugby great.

Good to see DC universe getting better with each outing Not exactly a difficult goal after the shite MOS & BVS. Liked both those movies. In fact BVS sits in my top 10 ever. So does WW now. Some call the DC universe too dark. I say they are less emotionally and intellectually timid than other films ...

Saw Wonder Woman today. Seriously good flick. Funny, smart and some tremendous performances.
And Gal Godot is a delight to look at on the big screen for 2 hours 20 minutes. Good to see DC universe getting better with each outing. Enjoyed WW as much as Logan and Rogue One.

vh5150

I counted 3 rush offsides and a neck roll from the Lions in the last 5 minutes. The ref did ..... sweet fark all.

vh5150

Congrats to the Lions on the win. Always important to start a tour off on a winning note. And no injuries of substance.

Also big ups to the NZ divisional compilation side. Gutsy effort from the part - timers and within striking distance of an upset.

Shocking test for the Crappers. Expecting them to win the 3rd test by 6 wickets.
