Lions look like a scratch team.
NZ Barbarians look like a team NZRFU have been quietly paying for a lot of training time for.
Really surprised at how good the scrum has been.

Looks like a few players are playing their way out of a test spot

You got to say that Bryn Gatland is (so far) not doing his future chances of a super contract any harm.
I know that is a double negative, so i'll just say he looks OK
Quite odd. He's shown a shitload more than he has for the blues. I guess it's a level down...
-
Sexton should have stayed at home.
Hogg pretty rusty.
Don't know why they're not making more use of their scrum dominance.Faletau and Te'o the only ones catching my eye.
-
@Pot-Hale Kyle Sinkler looking lively too.
-
Success!! NZB WIN THE FIRST HALF!!!
-
@Pot-Hale scrum dominance?
-
Barbarians special, and if leading at half time, they get to down a beer in the break?
-
Well that's enough for me. Back to work.
Dismal stuff.
-
Can we send AWJ, Sexton and Best back home now?
-
What a steaming pile of shit from the Lions.
To pick up a lamented point from @Chris-B earlier, this is Clayton McMillan coached team with 4 BoP players... and it's been several years since we've had anything to cheer about.
I had this down as an 80 point thrashing.
-
I think you guys are being a bit unfair on the Lions. By the looks of it, I'll paraphrase and modify my previous post.
Lions look like a scratch team of good players.
NZ Barbarians look like a team of average NZ players (that aren't in a squad) that the NZRFU has quietly payed for a lot of training time for.
-
@taniwharugby liking that?
