This is basically an unofficial fourth test.Tense test match atmosphere. Crusaders getting pinged offside a lot.
Reckon so. Wow, non-test match attitude there not taking 3 points in front of the posts!No try, Lions lucky not to have a player in the bin IMO.
I wasn't surprised to see the Crusaders back themselves there. They would have expected to score, execution let them down.Reckon so. Wow, non-test match attitude there not taking 3 points in front of the posts!
He's done that too often in high-profile matches this year. That one from the Italian match in Six Nations just makes me always wary of himCrusaders penalised for not rolling away, Farrell lining up another shot at goal 35m or so from goal right in front. Farrell misses, Justin Marshall put a curse of Farrell by mentioning how perfect Farrell had been from the tee.
Well, there are two French referees for the tests. We'll see how they interpret the scrum in comparison to Matheiu Reynal.Surely the Lions won't get this many scrum penalties in the tests. Big advantage for them today, but won't be there in the real thing.
Oh right. Well that is interesting!Well, there are two French referees for the tests. We'll see how they interpret the scrum in comparison to Matheiu Reynal.
He really is. Don't think I've ever seen him have a poor game.Faletau is consistently excellent. Great player.
On that showing, they're not too far away. A better Murray pass to Williams and a cooler head from Watson and they would have had 2. To be fair, it's a similar tale for the Blues.Want to see the Lions attack improve. You won't beat the All Blacks without scoring tries. The next match is against Highlanders on Tuesday at the excellent, intimate Forsyth Barr Stadium on Tuesday. They're a solid team and the Lions will need to play well to beat them.
Thought it was Te'o who shipped that shocker to Williams?On that showing, they're not too far away. A better Murray pass to Williams and a cooler head from Watson and they would have had 2. To be fair, it's a similar tale for the Blues.
This post didn't end well Mental game between Argentina and England.South Africa play France at Loftus later. If South Africa haven't changed their approach to the game from last year, France will win IMO. If they have changed their approach to the game, it'll be closer. Argentina will surely fancy themselves vs England.
Cracking game between Argentina and England. Best match of the weekend, I expected Argentina to win when they had that 31-23 lead but England were good enough to come back and win. Fair play to them.This post didn't end well Mental game between Argentina and England.
