Fuck the ABs better have a plan for getting some decent ball and keeping it away from the Lions pack

I expect catching the ball will go a long way to achieving that

I'm just watching a version of this game in my head, played under a roof. Imagining that if all those dropped catches had been made, then at least a couple of times that backline would have run it back, rather than kicking it.
It's a great game.

@Gunner I have doubts about Daggs accuracy under the high ball...

Not after last night. He was excellent

[Crash]

MAB forced to retreat. The ultimate shit. A maul TO to Lions

[Stargazer]

@kev You haven't watched him play last night and last week, obviously.

[taniwharugby]

That was rough...looked like Pryor had all rights there.

[Rapido]

When you only have 17% second half posesion, I guess you don't want to chip kick it away v rush defence.

Result is carnage.

[Virgil]

Shambles

[taniwharugby]

Thank fuck that's over....

[Gunner]

@kev I'm unsure if you're serious or taking the piss?

Unless my memory is fading I don't recall Dagg ever having too many problems catching high balls...

@Stargazer They should have subbed the forwards earlier. They were beat up. The Lions forwards were always going to dominate.

Yep, them too.

Well done Lions, gave us a lesson on NH rugby. It's up to the ABs to counter it. Bring on Saturday.

[Donsteppa]

Another woeful Saturday night effort from a home side.

[Crash]

Right. I vote we never play any touring teams at Rotovegas again. Ever.

[Virgil]

Well the Lions have taken out the 4th and 5th tests , now how will they go with 1 thru 3.

[Rapido]

Allowing the scrum to continue with a second push after a collapse is the equivalent of about 3 neck rolls. Our game is mad.

[taniwharugby]

Lions totally dominant, Maori totally submissive.

Bring on the real test next week.

Ouch the Aussies did try their best

[Tim]

Might've been an idea to have this game between the tests and give the Maori a warm up game.

@Stargazer he was under no pressure from kicks against Samoa, but was poor against Lions for Crusaders. It's always been an issue despite other strengths.
