Really seem to be riding our luck at the moment. Definitely need to take advantage while we're getting this much ball.

Furlong looks like the most uncoordinated person in the world. Whenever he joins a ruck or a contact, he's upright with arms flailing everywhere. Effective enough, but really shouldn't be.

Wiese being investigated for foul play. Well, he is due one.
Yep, that's a pen. Probably a yellow too.

Replace Conan and Lawes - neither’s getting over the gain line as far as I can see

Have we got a plan to get Simmonds and... Itoje (moving to 6 for Beard?) making better ground?jngf wrote:Replace Conan and Lawes - neither’s getting over the gain line as far as I can see

Wiese's face was a picture when the ref gave his decision. He was genuinely startled not to be going off.

Agree, Lions may regret points on board not reflecting dominance or chances.
SA will up it again 2nd arf.

Lions looking a better team. If the pace keeps up, we should take it. Looks like the ref is having none of the time wasting shenanigans.

Finn Russell has been point of difference -if we win this it will be more down to luck than Gatland’s starting selection

Two really poor decisions, well one poor one ((Williams not passing), one idiotic one (Curry at the maul cost the Lions 7 points.
Price getting lost in the 22 hurt too.

AT least we're getting into positions where a mistake costs us 7 points. Last week our mistakes were either inconsequential or gave the Boks 3 points.

Good 7s usually aren't rocket scientists. They go quick off instinct. If they hang around to think things through before making a move they'll always be too slow.jngf wrote:For all his gritty qualities and competitive instincts Curry’s not the greatest reader of the game in that openside berth.Big D wrote:Two really poor decisions, well one poor one ((Williams not passing), one idiotic one (Curry at the maul cost the Lions 7 points.
