unfortunately this tour sees people playing themselves out of contention, rather than demanding selection. The least bad if you likebruce wrote:Looks like Sanjay has dropped out of contention for the tests, which is a shame.

Although there could be one or two surprises it does seem that JJ is not in the reckoning. And i would have Daly over North out of Saturday's lot.Banquo wrote:unfortunately this tour sees people playing themselves out of contention, rather than demanding selection.

Doesn't he score a few tries and play for some sort of fling-it-about, glorified-7s club side though?bruce wrote:Looks like Sanjay has dropped out of contention for the tests, which is a shame.

The team is screaming out for just a little bit of creativity. Shoulda brought young George Ford really.bruce wrote:I think he falls into the Tipuric category when it comes to Gatland.Mikey Brown wrote:Doesn't he score a few tries and play for some sort of fling-it-about, glorified-7s club side though?bruce wrote:Looks like Sanjay has dropped out of contention for the tests, which is a shame.
We'd still probably lose but at least we'd string a few fecking passes together.

In weather news, it's expected to be a clear night tomorrow but it's almost as cold as Len's love life. It does warm up a bit during the day, much like Len's mum after a few drinks, but it freezes right down at night, like a girl after Len's tried a few of his patented pick-up lines.

Hopefully we'll also hear him talking about Talafafufalute and Gregor "Townsend" Laidlaw too.

The HSE recommend drinking on only every second mention of Farrell in the 'Barnes has an unnatural obsession with Owen Farrell' drinking game.Timmyspicyman wrote:world class Owen Farrell.Numbers wrote:I wonder how many times he'll mention Owen Farrell?Timmyspicyman wrote:

Can one challenge for a test spot only starting one game? If so why are the others wasting their time getting knocked about when the team was selected before the team left for NZp/d wrote:They are either protecting Farrell, or the young man has has said 'Feck this, the fifth game of the tour and I have only been in the starting XV for one of them'cashead wrote:In late news, Owen Farrell has been ruled out with a muscle strain, and Dan Biggar is now on the bench.

You would think that, if he was a nailed on starter, that game time with Murray might be of some importance.Digby wrote:Can one challenge for a test spot only starting one game?

I like the Maori shirts. They seem to have taken their inspiration from Mike Tyson's facial tattoos. Nice touch.

Good start from the Lions but Maori looking decidedly average with a number of unforced errors so far.
Pretty clear how the Lions are going to play.

Re: v Maori
Barnes would be positively moist by now if it was Farrell giving these flat passes. He doesn't seem to appreciate it as much when Sexton does it as part and parcel of his game.
