AUNZ XV vs British and Irish Lions
-
Not sure what we're learning here, apart from that invitational XVs belonged to the amateur era.
-
Where is our midfield when defending? Is that where the gaps are? Looks like Swiss cheese without the cheese bits.

I see what you’re saying, but rugby is 15 against 15. There’s no combinations, but I would have hoped the Anzacs could keep up a little better. Aside from that, interesting to see how individuals are going… I’m enjoying Frizzell smashing people
-
Shannon has been watching Finau smash tackles on 10s without the ball. Done his homework well.
-
-
offside not a thing
-
Lions far superior, but are they tiring? Running into some big hard bodies.
-
I don’t know if I’m fixating, but Lions players are always in front of the kicker
-
Sevu Reece school of tackling
-
I think it probably reinforces that if you're going to throw an invitational side together to play the Lions, it needs to be at the start of the tour when the Lions haven't spent much time together either. The NZ Baabaas side did a great job against the Lions in 2017 with nowhere near the quality of players that this AUNZ team has access to.

@nostrildamus All that consumption of ice cream, cookies and pies by the AUNZ XV in the week will mean they are firing on all cylinders in the last ten minutes.

David Havili is shit
So we aren't learning anything new
Lam is playing well. Shannon can tackle hard. They've contained Samu well but he still looks good at this level (to me). Our 10 is playing ok methinks, cleaned up a few near disasters.
DH and SS don't look like good selections as potential AB bench prospects. Lam does (but I've said that before). Oh and Fakatava is just passing (plus some kicks earlier) but it's been fast, efficient and accurate. -
van DER MERWE sharp for the Lions. Has a punchable face though
-
Cowan-Dickie injury looks nasty
-
Also, a disturbing amount of Saffa jerseys in the crowd 😅
-
"Touching me touching you" lots of hopeful hands in the crowd tonight. Obviously came here for the Neil Diamond concert.

is there such a thing as a non-disturbing amount of Saffa jerseys?
