Hurricanes v B&I Lions
-
Of all the first fives (minus the AB game) to go up against the Lions.. JB has been the best of the lot..
The Blues may have nabbed the wrong cane..
But I think Black will get better with more game time under his beltI do hope JB doesn't end up like Toeava in that he plays everywhere in the backline..
-
how long was BIggar off for HIA last night?
Reports say 'minutes' but that could be anything from a few to a dozen.
The NZ HIA takes about 10 minutes, assume the Lions would be under whatever protocols they play under in the Heineken Cup?

You didn't mention the big mistake of pissing off the meanest hardest motherfucker in the opposition team.
Did he not watch how Tana played in the second test?Yeah. Of course.
It's reasonably common for the All Blacks to follow up an excellent performance they were really up for, with a flat stinker the following week.
Warren has re-focussed them.
I remember Nick far jones a few years ago saying , he found it's best not to ruffle the all blacks feathers between games , it does nothing except give them extra motivation.

I think Gatland has made a few bad moves in the last week.
The foul play / planted leg allegation.
The treatment of the geographical subs.
It's a shame, I reckon he'd had a good tour up until a few days ago. I don't have any schadenfreude for his predicament.
Some of those geographical subs I've never heard of, I'm quite ignorant of overseas rugby. But I do know that Russell and Davies are excellent test rugby players who I've seen own it on an international stage previously. Quite insulting treatment. But if you give those 2 some game time but keep the other nonames benched, then that's a whole other devisive can of worms .....
Ah well, it's a tough job. Chin up Warren, you've lost the nz public now (who I dont think gave a shit about the warrenball press baiting etc, were mildly miffed about the obstruction call out, but they really really love Jerome). You'll need it now.
I don't think Gatland aka the Mouth of the Waikato ever really had the NZ public before the tour kicked off , he learned nothing from 2005 though .Watching the lions play on Saturday it looked like there was a great team in there that he couldn't manage to make work too.

Scotsman intercepts. Passes to another Scotsman to motor away for the try.....
You can stick your fucken arse up your arse Gatland. That was quality yet neither will be in your 23 for Saturday.
Well taken try but if you think either or both should be in the 2nd Test 23 you need your head read.
Laidlaw no. Seymour yes.
I have Scottish blood. It's in my nature to be antagonistic and angry.
I've got Scottish blood - and I'm a ball of sunshine
You're a Scots Maori. Talk about the worst possible combo ever.
Laidlaw has midweek battler written all over him but Seymour has been decent.
I dunno, I reckon my ginger Lebo cuz has that sewn up.

Premeditated! They obviously planned that. Knew they had to get at Barrett and kill him. Fucking disgusting filthy thug shit, and obviously targeted.
Filth. Thug. Sickening.
Ref seriously, penalty only?
You forgot it's clearly a spare tackle and not a miss timed clean out.

Richard Loe didn't forget...
"They lifted him and pole-drove him with intent."... regardless of the staggering hypocrisy of Richard Loe, for fuck's sake, complaining about dirty play...

Oh THAT Richard Loe!
I would say he is an absolute expert and I value his insight.

The way the ABs have been tackling we could probably do with any spares thrown our way...
