@Pot-Hale Fuck me open both eyes. Every Lions winger is doing the same. Would be nice if a Lions player stayed on their feet at the break down

Lawes is back, AWJ off.
No sub Lawes for Hill. Lawes looks fucked.
Lawes has been impressive. I'd have started him and Kruis on Saturday eith Itoje off tge bench. But I'd have to say two head knocks in two weeks may be enough to earn a plane ride home.

Wonderful try Lions. Chiefs should have taken the 3.
Yep. The two pens they've given up has killed them.
Could have been 12 - 20, now it's game over at 6 - 27
Repeated for effect

Dicked, in every facet of the game.
Was always on the cards.
Can we have the ginge and you have Laidlaw?
You're Welsh. He doesn't feel Welsh.

Do wonder if other teams are using same concussion protocols as us given we seem to have much more players sitting out from head knocks

The Scots must be looking seriously at Christie now.

Yep. That thought had occurred. Was surprised he was back on the field so soon.

I'd assume it was precautionary? The protocols must be the same for all, surely?

@No-Quarter said in Chiefs v B&I Lions:
That should really be red, late and no arms. Cheap shot.
Agree entirely. Very lucky not to see Red.
And how did Biggar not see yellow?
Weak by the ref
Because it was too high to be counted as high. If your man hadn't have slipped just before Biggar was gonski.

Concussion checks take about 10 mins....even precautionary. You would hope everyone is singing off the same sheet.

Christie's parents emigrated from Scotland to Pukekohe when he was seven and he was schooled at Saint Kentigern College in Auckland, where he caught the eye of the Counties coaches. He represented them at under-19 level in 2014 before moving south to study at the University of Canterbury. It's in Canterbury, playing for the University club, that Christie convinced Ta$man to offer him an NPC contract. He didn't disappoint and featured in ten of their matches in 2016, which included four starts as they reached the Premiership final that ended in defeat to Canterbury. Christie has already attained national sporting honours for New Zealand, but in gymnastics, which he did for nine years. -

So 100% of the Chiefs Samoan internationals backed up from the weekend and appeared in the the Chiefs starting lineup.
0% of the Chiefs Maori ABs were in the Chiefs starting lineup.
Is this conclusive proof that Samoans are harder than Maori?*
*Asking on behalf of a Mike Hosking listener.
Am yet to begin exhaustive research into the the percentage of British players who backed up.

Think Lawes is very unlucky. He's timed his fitness and form to perfection, and if he hadn't had the two head knocks I would be starting him with Itoje.
