@MN5 they just cry on a forum instead
Or from from the commentary box.
Yes. Yes I truely was that offended by Gavin Hastings' ref-blaming crybabyness after the1/4 final.
2 years on ........ I remember! Gav, you fucking disgrace.

@antipodean So who would be your 23 jersey for Saturday?

@MiketheSnow
It seems you Lions fans don't like being accused of cheating. Funny, your coach seems happy to dish out those sorts of accusations.By the way. Just because cheating gets penalised doesn't mean it's not cheating.

Haha, that's what the Aussie fans would say about Richie 😀

@MiketheSnow
I should also let you know im also slightly taking the piss here so no need to get too wound up.Still chokers though. And c*nts

16.7(c) When the ball has been clearly won by a team at a ruck and the ball is available to be played the referee will call "Use it!" after which the ball must be played within five seconds. ...
Five seconds... it seems like an eternity when we're not used to it being used to the limit every single time - but it does seem they're within their rights. Fuckers.
At least the hugging of the ball after penalty given to slow the game down has been noticed. -

What do Australians know about rugby?

Ah, come on Warren, you know what this is"
"I don't know"
"It's a bench! Gah! Don't you even know a bench when you see it?

Thought half back play from Canes was poor particularly TTT who was awful, the youngster who came on was a huge improvement. Jane looked so much better than NMS. Don't know which irks me more Poirot or the whining Lion's players, Best and Biggar in particular. Good news is I think the holding onto the ball after penalties will be noted by ref for next week, Loved Laumape, third test perhaps? Jordie blew hot and cold, you would think it opens the door wide for Naholo.
Agree about TTT. The u20 HB looked far and away better so I hope we can sign him as TTT has been tried in a few games and looks at best OK but not much more. whereas K Hauiti-Parapara looks the good
I was also disappointed with Black. Barrett at first is a much better option

Just the facts ma'm, just the facts.
All sides at it.
Chokers definitely. And I called it very early in the match.

Greg Laidlaw is the slowest passer in history.
I call him the handbrake. He's the anti-Aaron Smith.
-
@Stockcar86 yeah some strange tactics by Gatland in the way he used the bench.
Should've made some changes ealier.

In fairness to Gatland you could see that the reaction from Former Lions, Wanabee Lions, the press and fans tied his hands.
He wanted to use the bench, but couldn't for fear of 'capping the Lions into disrepute'
I certainly would have flipflopped the half backs.
Davies for Laidlaw, Russel for Biggar.
And if Henderson is in his plans for Saturday, then Hill would have done the job in the last ten mins.

Dammit. They should have snatched that at the end. Pity that stupid first try.
Jordie should backup Beauden at 10. He shits on Black.
After nearly proclaiming the BB could walk on water in a post earlier today I now conclude you're the black sheep Barrett uncle shipped of to Oz.
Wtf are you talking about?
I was just referencing you're a big fan of the Barrett brothers after you were talking up BBs high ball ability and defence - plus you have a pic of BB as your avatar.

Throwing the ball away after penalties, diving off their feet at rucks, living offside, not rolling away from the tackled player, spear tackling defenders at the ruck, pulling back players off the ball.
Plenty of examples.In fairness, I think the Lions might have been guilty of one or two of those as well.....
How could you tell? Or do the red invisibility cloaks only work on refs?
That comeback was nearly as bad as Laidlaw's passing...
-
Being at have stadium. Now reading the thread while waiting for a bus.
It's funny. The last thing in my mind is the ref,and what decisions went what way, and what copious amounts of (apparently) unseen offences didn't go which way.
It was throughly entertaining.
With some genuine getting in the refs back as a home crowd should but 90% blindly hopeful getting on his back in a hopeful way.
Tv and slo mos are the rugby viewers curse. Won't stop me on Saturday though ...... as I don't have tickets for tbe blissful distant live view.

You're a good fan MtS, you show up rain or shine, and I'm impressed you keep your cool. You are the one Welsh supporter who doesn't go mad in every game (including one of my best mates who introduced me to my wife). Next time you come through Tokyo, let me know and I'll buy you a beer

I've made absolutely no secret of my fanboism. What has that got to do with what I wrote? Are you upset about me saying that JB is much better than Black?

He really did look comfortable up there. Now, I'm a bit worried that he's going to be wasted at the Canes unless he starts playing 13....
Where is @Tim with his Blues recruitment plans...
