Finnegan Posted 27 June 2017 Share Posted 27 June 2017 8 minutes ago, Darkon84 said: What a game! Some stupid, needless penalties given away by the Lions and poor concentration to concede the two tries when we looked clear, but some players have really put themselves up for the test squad. Henderson simply MUST be in there, he's been outstanding despite having to take 10 mins in the bin. But he DID get yellow carded and it is a position in which there's a lot of competition.

Yes he did, but he's still been one of the top performers and in my opinion, he should still be in the match day squad at the very least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finnegan Posted 29 June 2017 Share Posted 29 June 2017 Surprised, he's not been on form for the last year. I figured it'd be Kruis and Maro tbh, not that Kruis has been exceptional either. Rest of the side isn't really a shock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanSP Posted 1 July 2017 Share Posted 1 July 2017 definite red, that, for Sonny Bill Williams. No escaping that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnegan Posted 1 July 2017 Share Posted 1 July 2017 No choice there. Very, very silly SBW. Ten years ago you forgive him those shoulder charges, it's even what you select him for. He's old enough now and had long enough now to adjust to the rules and he just knows he can't do that. Probably one of my favourite ever sportsmen but you can't do that.

isaidno Posted 1 July 2017 Share Posted 1 July 2017 clear red card , we've got to win this now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnegan Posted 1 July 2017 Share Posted 1 July 2017 It is a good opportunity but it's also a shame. I don't want to beat them "because" they had a man down. Especially in the cake tin, in the rain, playing well where we have a real chance of winning anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finnegan Posted 1 July 2017 Share Posted 1 July 2017 Jack Nowell really isn't an international quality rugby player, let alone a Lion. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely ludicrous to charge in from the side like that and give the opposition three points and what looks like it will be a tight match.

Nalis Posted 1 July 2017 Share Posted 1 July 2017 Watching on a NZ Stream (TSN2) and again the commentators again are quite refeshing. Impartial and insightful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try and get the names at the start of the second half. Is it Grant "Nisbo" Nisbitt with one of either Andrew "Merts" Mertens or Justin "Razzle Dazzle!" Marshall?

Did any of them suggest penalty try regarding the last play at the end of the half? The kick goes up and the New Zealand player ends up knocking on in his in goal area... which to me looked like a deliberate action, so could be punishable by a 5 meter scrum OR penalty try, if deemed a scoring opportunity.

Marshall (Boomfah) isn't the most popular character in New Zealand, they find him a bit of a clown but I like him, makes me chuckle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
