Agreed. Although Munster were a shambles at Lansdowne yesterday - beaten offthe park like an academy team.
If the PRO12 playoffs were anything to go by in terms of Lions, I'd say Gatland is wishing he could change his squad.
Test contention - Best, McGrath, Furlong, Henshaw, Murray bench
Poor and shouldn't be getting on the plane - O'Mahony, Sexton.
Midweek side - O'Brien, Henderson, Stander, Payne. -
Isn't playing "ive got a lovely bunch of coconuts", because you know you're crap at sing, irony?
Talk about being whooshed.
Whooshed in his first visit, been getting whooshed since.
Who and where are these waitresses and shop assistants that keep wanting to talk rugby? I come on here because it seems to me barely anyone in NZ wants to talk rugby. Maybe they're being polite and trying to take an interest in a visitors work?
NZ is the least national sport obsessed place I can think of. Having lived in London, Melbourne, Sydney where 3 different codes hold prime place - NZ is about 10% of the level of those places. The difference being none of those places had a national team in those codes holding a primary place, with the occasional exception of England every 2 years.

I always wonder (any English fans care to comment please), do England see Jones as "dear adopted Welshman"? The Irish can't stand Jones, for much the same reasons as Kiwis (patronising, belittling, pompous etc).
In general we do not see him as a dear adopted Welshman. Mostly we think he's a complete dick and pay a lot less attention to him than you guys seem to. Most of my Taff mates also think he's a dick and are probably glad that he's seen by many as a Pom.

How is it 13 hours since that post and Pot Hale hasn't been banned!
It was a good first cast into the pond leading up to the tour, got a few nudging the bait and a good solid strike. @Bones effort was better though, very subtle.

No, I don't think that is irony. If they'd put on accidentally "I'd like to teach the world to sing", that would be somewhat ironic and funny, if they were actually crap at singing.

Note to self: Jegga's a tough bugger of a marker.
Further note to self: Must try harder.

Pace yourself mate, you don't want to peak early.

Talking of trolling
Definite irony there. These Australian and Welsh fellas masquerading as England spokesmen do love to talk from the sidelines.

Darn, so the walrus is right.
A. he hasn't met me
B. I don't get irony anywayBut it is ironic that in 1983 we didn't have many ......
No, won't go there -
“That is not for me to decide, I’m easy. It’s where I’ve played the majority of my rugby, but I’ve played a lot at 12 as well. It depends what other Âpeople see me as, it’s not about what I think."
Guess who?

This was nowhere near the worst article he wrote this week. You should see the tripe he wrote about how the Lions are always so hard done by with refereeing.
Thanks for the warning, I'll give it a miss.

Really enjoyed this from the Telegraph staff
Ignore the headline

Interesting article. Some lingering bitterness there, but "Donners'" parts were great, he sounds like he had a ball!
