Guest MattP Posted 1 July 2017 Posted 1 July 2017 The discipline is appalling. When did rugby players start arguing with refs as well?
StanSP Posted 1 July 2017 Posted 1 July 2017 is Vunipola always so ill-disciplined and giving away so many penalties
Finnegan Posted 1 July 2017 Posted 1 July 2017 Just now, StanSP said: is Vunipola always so ill-disciplined and giving away so many penalties Yeah he's a bit of a pratt. Can't scrum, crap discipline, he's good when you're on the front foot because he carries ball but a prop should first and foremost be good at his job. He's not even England's best option tbh. Just another example of Gats picking big ball carriers first and foremost. We've lost this. Seriously. Unless our impact players come on and step up massively, we've lost this already.
Vacamion Posted 1 July 2017 Author Posted 1 July 2017 How embarrassing would it be to lose against 14 men for 3/4 of the game? Superb stuff from the ABs.
DJ Barry Hammond Posted 1 July 2017 Posted 1 July 2017 Did the Lions go into this half expecting to win by just turning out? Awful, awful play, loads of indiscipline - things that make you start questioning the coaching.
Finnegan Posted 1 July 2017 Posted 1 July 2017 How ****ing easy was that? Just play the game. Much better.
Guest MattP Posted 1 July 2017 Posted 1 July 2017 Some of the kicking has been a nightmare, will be devastated and full of regret if they don't win this.

Saw a tweet suggesting it's rather windy, which is half an excuse. Have the Lions employed rope-a-dope in this second half?
DJ Barry Hammond Posted 1 July 2017 Posted 1 July 2017 Amazing really... can't say the Lions play, apart from two moments of quality in this second half, really merits being level.

The cake tin is famous for it's conditions, it's like going to Stoke and complaining about the Britannia cross wind. You have to go in prepared and compensate with your game. Discipline is killing us more than anything bad kicking mind.

Farrell's recent kick showed a nice bannana, indicating excellent judgement and the wind strength, but with fine margins you only have to have the wind to catch (or not) your kick to make it foolish and miss the target.

I could be wrong but I don't think Matt was talking about place kicking.
