Any links?
I'll have a look and see if I can find them. It was literally the odd reply on different pages facebook status and post on twitter. Probably wasn't even worth mentioning to be honest.

Test week. I'd be very surprised if there wasn't at least one fight at training. Sure, even at my shithouse level we used to get a fair bit of that in the build up to big games.

That, plus, rumours of scandal and discord are proven ways of generating interest in a book.

I`d believe that there might be scandal ("I thought he was a woman as well" etc.) not so sure about discord in this Pro. era.

Worth stating that despite the rumours Fraser Brown didn't turn down a call up.

Great tackle by Dagg.

Decent start by Lions though.

Posted: **Sat Jun 24, 2017 8:56 am**

For a professional team it's outrageously bad to get caught like that.

Poor by Daly.

Blistering pace so far. Lions might want to ease off the kicking game for a bit, if they give the AIG's that much ball on the 10 meter line for the full 80 it's going to get painful.

What a try

Yeah that's the danger of using box kicks.

That was class. Williams first step there was unreal. Great support lines n' aw.

Tackle stats are mental. George and Not toby on 13 already

Posted: **Sat Jun 24, 2017 9:40 am**

They are having a real go which is great to see.

To be fair, despite not wanting him on tour AWJ is the wrong lock to sub. Kruis has been poor imo.

If Murray is going to cheat at least fucking do it right. If you're going to kick it then make sure you kick it.

Not sure Gatland is getting these subs entirely right.

Posted: **Sat Jun 24, 2017 10:05 am**

The guys who started for the Lions must be gassed. Furlong looked absolutely shattered going off.

No doubt, it's being played at a mentally high pace.

Agreed. I'm a big Kruis fan but he's been pish. POM and Teo had been doing their job well too.

Never seen him play so poorly. Got to feel for him, if you are going to have an off day, today isn't the ideal day to do it.

I just can't see the logic for taking off AWJ rather than Kruis.

Wheels are coming off now though.

Jones was struggling to keep up with the pace of the game. Gatland was caught between a rock and a hard place with that call.

So many dull penalties too.

Aye, I'm pretty sure he always planned to yank AWJ at some point. Sure he wouldn't be expecting Kruis to be a bit ropey.

They deserved that score.

Think some changes needed for next week.
