2 Aussies, 2 Saffers and only 1 Kiwi? Is that all?

Even if I haven't missed anyone, still pretty strange that the British and Irish Lions could field a team that is 1/3rd antipodean.

What happened there? Why wasn't kick allowed? It was the right call. Bowen took half a step to kick, Lions player charged forward. Bowen complained and then once he realised it was live he passed. So essentially he didn't kick the free kick. Correct but very technical. Most refs would just reset. I...

Were some lions fans saying this referee is favouring the tahs?

Mog The Almighty

Sensible decision. Not sure what the ref meant by the Waratah trying to get back to his feet. He wasn't but either way, if he crawled, he crawled. Is there a law against crawling? I mean I know if you're tackled you must release the ball. But if you're not tackled, and are just knocked over, are yo...

So lucky this tour is only in Australia and not NZ or SA This whole squad is weak This is literally, minus the French, the best players from the entire northern hemisphere of the world. Stop talking shit. I don’t think he is talking shit. This is the weakest Loins squad I have ever seen. Yeah right...

Watch Keenan after he lets that try in - just swinging his arms like a petulant school boy as if it was someone else’s fault - this has been a very bleak half of rugby Because, by the laws, that tackle was completed. The referee seemed happy to let the Tahs' player just carry on. I'd have been anno...

This is literally, minus the French, some of the very best players from the entire northern hemisphere of the world.

Stop talking shit.

This is a weak pack, in the context of the squad.

Cummings, Beirne, Ryan, Schoemann - these lads aren't contesting test spots.

They're playing for the Lions but are not "contesting test spots" ... how do you work that out?

Yawn. Such the internet tough guy. It's almost like you started this thread just so you could have a rant and a shitfight. You asked a question, you got given the answer, you didn't like it and then got all precious about people calling racists racist. Comedy gold. Just be quiet, please. You're a w...

The acknowledgement of country is a bit overdone but it really only annoys white racists. I think the reality is that the vast majority of people who don't like it just find it boring and a bit of an eye-roll in the "more woke shit" sense, but aren't really racists and are just a bit too tone-deaf ...

Mog The Almighty

Bahaha. Great retort. If I criticize Catholic ideology for being unscientific, sexist, homophobic, and complicit in covering up abuse, would you call me "Cathlophobic" as if I'm a bigot? You wouldn't. In fact you're probably be all-on-board. You equate critique with bigotry, which you've muddled up...

Another embarrassing performance. Comprehensively beaten in every facet of the game. I thought Reds would put up a better fight. U20s got smashed as well. Shows the state rugby in Australia :( Unfortunately true. This is something that has been plaguing Australian rugby for f-cking ages. I don't kn...

That should be expected playing teams that are 3 levels below, with their best players absent.

If they wanted to even it up and make it a close contest, all they'd have to do is mandate the Lions have a few more Welsh in the team.

Mog The Almighty

F-ck I hate this "deliberate knock-on law". And I hate no matter who it favours. It's just purely retarded artifical nonsense to feed couch potatoes "more tries".

Mog The Almighty

Or they're just racist, or islamaphobic - but we all know why you hate that term considering you worship at the altar of Sam Harris. :uhoh: I think the problem here is just you're a bit thick. Bahaha. Great retort. If I criticize Catholic ideology for being unscientific, sexist, homophobic, and com...

Mog The Almighty

Yawn. The protection of racists from criticism by the "both sides-ers" is worse than any supposed "woke shit". We're allowed to call a spade a spade. Sensible was right, outside of the usual racists the majority don't have an issue. It's a tactic to silence discussion on a topic without there being...

In this case is it actually 'the left' or is it merely HR being bored and looking for stuff to mess around with in the workplace? I think it's unique to the lefty Zeitgeist. I mean, you never see HR being bored and implementing fringe right wing loon ideology in the office, do you? Not that the WtC...

You don't live in Australia. When did you last hear an acknowledgement of country? Because I heard 4 today alone (all teams meetings). What? lol. That sounds a little much. You're doing it in the workplace before team meetings? wtf. Who is doing it? It's common place. Happened twice in one huddle, ...

Isn't there a law in rugby that there is no "touch" in goal. What I mean - as weird as it sounds - but by the lawbook, it's legal to have your body out, and reach in goal and ground a bouncing ball and it's still a try? I think they might have f-cked up there. If any part of his body put that ball ...

That doesn't seem appropriate or even relevant or an efficient use of work time.

I'll open another kettle of fish. How about, git rid of the Welcome to Country, and instead just sing that Australian anthem in the local aboriginal dialect? (like was done a few times a few years back). I thought that was great. And nobody can complain, "it's boring". For starters, it was far more ...

Still boring. some old geezer being trotted out mumbling some old trite shite for reasons, it's a bit cringey tbh. The haka on the other hand is fun . Maybe you just need to up your game. That's the complaint of a small child, not a grown man. I agree the haka is more exciting. But I get the feelin...

A complete disgrace to send down a C team, half of the squad are making their debuts. TV ratings will plummet, ad revenue will be down, and it makes a mockery of the entire thing. NZ organized this in good faith and will now suffer severe financial penalties not of their own making. I reckon there ...

Outside of the usual racists, I don't think anyone really has an issue with welcome to country. Its acknowledgement of country that gets used so much that it becomes nothing more than a meaningless token gesture by people who would cross the road to avoid someone with darker skin.

I don't mind it but I think it's pushed too much that it has created an opposition movement against it. People get annoyed if things get shoved in their face relentlessly regardless what it is. I don't think the opposition should be totally ignored because I don't think creating a passionate opposi...

I thought it was just a nice and ceremonial nod to the oldest people on earth, who have been in this country for over 60,000 years. It seems to be an issue that's coming up that people are upset about it a bit more lately. I'm probably a bit out of touch on the other side of the world, but what's t...
