That Canterbury pack will monster the Lions. Could be a long day at the office even if the backs have an edge. Which they probably don't when you factor in JGB.

[Canes4life]

@Toddy yeah, could be a long day at the office. If we can get some sort of parity the Lions can get over the line.

That Canterbury midfield makes me feel better.

[Canes4life]

Tasty start to this game. Both teams looking polished.

Referees around the world will look for ways to penalise anything if they can.

In response to Canterbury scoring a try from a guy over 5m offside.

Yeah good one egg!

prefer to call him a Ta$man player

[Bones]

Aumua is playing really well around the field. Looks to have shed a bit of weight.

[Bones]

Bridge opens up a gap for himself but then dives to the ground. Come on man, surely you can back yourself at this level?

[African Monkey]

@Bones Under previous ABs coaches, they would have developed him into a regular in the ABs 23 by now.

[Canes4life]

Asafo Aumua has been everywhere in this game. Great start by him, hopefully he’s coming into some form.

I'm not so sure about that. I guess maybe they might have impressed upon him the importance of being able to throw into a lineout?

[Grooter]

There's that man George Bell!

[African Monkey]

@Bones Which would have been coached into him, simlar to Keven Mealamu who was disasterous in that area eariler in his career but improved drastically as proper faith was shown in him.
