All Blacks v BI Lions Test #2

[PecoTrain]

@No-Quarter It's a common interpretation of the law by NH refs. I can't understand how it hasn't been clarified before now as while it makes sense for catching kicks, when a player chooses to jump to catch a poor pass or just because, they shouldn't benefit from that choice.

Well done Lions and congrats to all your fans!

Yeah happy for them.

Not the coaches, press and some players though.

[No Quarter]

Congrats to Lions fans. Your guys made bloody tough work of it but got it done in the end.

Sure the ref made up a penalty to give the Lions the kick to win it, but he didn't cost us the match. That responsibility is 100% on SBWs shoulders. You. Fucking. Idiot. Please never ever play for the ABs again you asshole.

Bleh.

[taniwharugby]

gutting, but I guess we didnt actually do much to warrant winning that game, lots of dumb plays.

Lions just wanted it more

First All Blacks red card in 50 years - since Sir COlin in 1967...

[kiwiinmelb]

Well played lions , deserved their win ,

We played some dumb rugby and probably deserved what we got

[Crucial]

At least Stephen Jones gets a chance to be ironic.

[Kruse]

Yep - well done Lions.
Unfortunate for my english workmate who I just know is not going to be particularly gracious in victory... I don't think he realises how close to murder-victim he's going to come.

[Donsteppa]

J Barret to goal kick next week, given Dagg can be dropped off a cliff. A Smith to play 80 mins next week too.

That fluffybunny shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence as Pinetree .

[Stargazer]

So: SBW to be suspended or just not picked for next week. Naholo failed his concussion test, so also likely gone. Hopefully, the rest of the team healthy for next week. Team selection will be interesting.

Warburton is being gracious.

That's crazy, I've never seen anything like it. Makes an absolute farce of the game.

Cruden did more to lose that tonight than SBW. One brain fart is forgivable but repeated brain farts under pressure is not.

Well done Lions for winning that - they held their nerve and got there in the end. Also well done to most of the ABs who tried their best to try and stop about 4-5 guys from flushing that.

I don't put Beauden's kicking squarely on him, selectors have tolerated it for too long and haven't seen it as an issue.

[Kruse]

Kieran asked "did you lose because Lions were better, or because of SBW?"
He lies.
Edit: nah, to be fair to Lions - he probably should have answered "both"

[Gunner]

Cruden needs to fuck off to where ever he is going, right now!

SBW you are a dumb fucking stupid idiot.

Fuck sakes. Fuck fuck fuck.

I hate these cheating mother fucking Lions. When will the refs man up and ref the fluffybunnies properly!

Bad loser? Yep!

[mariner4life]

Well, shit.

Firstly well done Lions, there were two good attacking movements in the game, they were both yours and both resulted in tries. You tried to lose with some brainless play, but held your nerve.

For us, poor. Couldn't do anything against their defense, and kicked away all our ball. Barrett was shit, Cruden no better. The attacking kicks were shit and just gave away our ball.

Realistically we were outplayed and i can't think of a good All Black to be honest. Lions better in most facets, Itoje and O'Brien were huge.

Fuck you SBW

Very classy comments from Warburton.
