NZ Provincial Barbarians v B&I Lions (Whangarei, 3 June 2017)

@Kirwan given the rain we've had it is a testament to the grounds men here.

[Stargazer]

All I hope for this game is that the Lions are not so dominant that these Baabaas players have no opportunity to express themselves. I want these lads to go out on the park to play their best and leave the field with some pride, not humiliation.

[taniwharugby]

Stadium officially a sell out but quite a few empty seats in main stand, likely tour group block seats

[Stockcar86]

Barbarians jersey looks like a Counties abomination

[Stargazer]

I also want the commentators to stop focusing on Bryn Gatland. There are 14 other Baabaas on the paddock, dammit!

Especially if he's just going to aimlessly grubber it away.

[Kirwan]

Tidy start from the baabaas

[No Quarter]

Lions got away with pulling the first maul down. Defended the second maul well.

[kiwiinmelb]

Well done baa baas , nice defence

[Hooroo]

I'm finally pumped for this tour. I haven't given it a second thought until now. Looking at a jam packed Okora park or what ever it is called emphasises the importance of this amazing tour.

[Kirwan]

Number eight needs to work harder to get onside, been pinged twice and was offside again and got away with it.

[Stockcar86]

Gatland showing why didn't get a super contract. With all that kicking, is he trying for a European contract?

@Stockcar86

Ha ha, good point.

[Unite]

Fuck it

[Stockcar86]

Hungus bombed that try

[No Quarter]

Oh no try butchered! Unmarked men either side and he tried to take on the last man - damn! Exciting stuff though

[Bones]

Wow. Laulala. What a fluffybunny. Why would you think you're gonna go past an international player that easy?
