Lions v Hurricanes (SF)

[Rancid Schnitzel]

This is stupid shit. They're handing them field position through headless crap. Calm it down TJ ffs.

[hydro11]

Dumb rugby costing us.

[Unite]

Cosmic energy well and truly shifted.

[gt12]

That one is on Jordie for the stupid quick throw, but the defense isn't good enough either. This Lions team gets points every time they get territory.

[hydro11]

Why the fuck aren't we releasing the ball under pressure? NMS did it in the first half and handed them field position and they scored. Jordie Barrett comes out and does the same thing.

I have no issue with that breakdown penalty being awarded because that's how the game is reffed, but a tackled player basically has no opportunity these days to place the ball as the laws state.

[gt12]

Shitty kick from Barrett there. I hope that doesn't hurt them.

[hydro11]

WTF was that kick from Barrett?

[gt12]

Lions know they'll win if they keep the canes in their half.

[gt12]

Fucking hell Barrett. That's a criminal kick.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Not good.

[hydro11]

All of their tries have come from us handing them field position on a plate. When we had field position we tried to play champagne rugby in their 22. They have just muscled it over. Barrett needs to show better direction than this.

[PN]

Lion's done well to come back into this after being buried early on

[gt12]

All tied up. Was he there?

[antipodean]

How could that AR see that grounded from the opposite side of the maul?

[JustAnotherFan]

Rasta has big balls

[gt12]

Fucking Canes have been criminally bad at giving away territory. But, the Lions are pretty good - playing to their strengths and making the canes look a bit silly.

[Kruse]

Gotta love these assistant refs, it's taken them a while - but finally they're getting into the game.

[ACT Crusader]

Coles with brilliant hands

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Fark yeah. Now stop the stupid shit.
