Lions tour 2025

[BoyBrumby]

Looked very high shot on Donaldson from Hansen before the Force try.

WTF is going on with White's haircut? A grade 0 high fade is a very bold call for a man in his mid 30s.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Jeez, you're taking the three all day long there, aren't you?!

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Who are the refs for the tests? Kiwis, Saffas, French? Other?


Interpretations and communication might decide the result. I still remember the French ref from the 2017 3rd test AB - Lions draw

 

[BoyBrumby]

Dropped bollock from Pollock. Spills a simple take to cede possession.

Boy has the anti-Midas touch right now; everything he touches turns to crap.

 

[BoyBrumby]

But he can do that.

Neat offload for T.williams try though. And the comms need a new box of tissues as its Pollock doing a thing.

Perfect anti jinx

Force blew those 3 pens on the Lions line though, would of liked a quick tap option tbh.

First scrum on minute 18, happy with that.

Or just score easy points

The **** is old mate talking about going 6 years without winning a restart?

 

[ripper868]

Force playing above themselves this first 25, not sure they can hold it though if the Lions start getting possession parity. Course, if the Lions stopped kicking it away, they might get possession parity

 

[ripper868]

Carter dropped it sure, but bang average pass from White to him. Well taken opportunity though.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Hope Williams isn't badly injured.

I'm as patriotic a Pom as the next man, but the difference with him at 9 compared to Mitchell v los Pumas was very marked.

Much, much quicker service.

Scoreline blowing out a bit now, but was a good contest for 45 minutes.

A nice set of tries from the Lions today in general

No doubt they have attacking potential in spades but it's the consistency on both sides of the ball they'll need to sharpen.

 

[ripper868]

Turning into a game of dropsie now though

 

[BoyBrumby]

54-7 feels about right.

Think I've likely reverse jinxed Pollock into the test XV. Might not carry like a traditional #8, but makes his yards.

Shares in Elliot Fitzgerald Daly PLC have steadily risen too. Reckon his versatility might just snag him a bench spot for the first Wobblies game. Covers every back position save scrum half.

 

[weeman27bob]

Pollock felt like he was everywhere today, just feels like he's got something about him

oh right, Fenian does not mean *that* Fen

Ben O'Keefe (todays ref) is doing the 1st test...cbf looking up the others
