Great stuff. Great boost for the tour, even if Chiefs weak

That's better from Sanjay. Hasn't done much tonight, but that was class.

Oh Seymour. What the fuck? You're better than that.
I think he was waiting for Payne to cut back but that was awful following a great line.

Awful from Seymour. Plenty of options, but instead cropped space and delivered a terrible pass.

Which is a shame in a way because Davies and Finn Russell were probably next in line for their respective positions and there wouldnt be too many objections to their inclusion.Sandydragon wrote:Im assuming that none of the controversial 6 players called into the squad will get on unless they absolutely have to.Banquo wrote:In another news, chiefs 9 is a dick.

Enjoyed that. Pack were excellent, nearly all on for the 80- Cole had been getting some stick, but that was a hell of an effort-- that was a pack performance 'for the tour' as it were; some nice touches in the backs too. Nowell was very good, and Daly classy; Williams looked dangerous too.
Kudos.

I guess, but that forces these guys to play 80--- which they did well in truth.Sandydragon wrote:Im assuming that none of the controversial 6 players called into the squad will get on unless they absolutely have to.Banquo wrote:In another news, chiefs 9 is a dick. And definitely a penalty try.

Re: V Chiefs
That was a sound thrashing. The rush defence is troubling NZ sides, as are the Lions predictably good mauling skills. Even though it was a second string Chiefs side, that was a beating of unexpected magnitude from the midweek Lions. It's all on for Saturday.

Re: V Chiefs
Agreed. Thought the front 5 were utterly dominant and laid foundation for an impressive win. Good to see the ball moving around the backs a bit resulting in some fine tries.Banquo wrote:Enjoyed that.

Lions getting better and looking a very united group.

Re: V Chiefs
It's really frustrating to see a professional do that after I just had one kid in the team I co-coach sit out for about a month due to a concussion.

To be fair, Lawes taking a bash to the head means that the site of injury is about three feet from his brain.

whilst I get he is keen to press his case and do well for the team, the medics are much better off erring on the side of caution.cashead wrote:It's really frustrating to see a professional do that after I just had one kid in the team I co-coach sit out for about a month due to a concussion.

Re: V Chiefs
Aye, really pleased with the Lions defence over the last few games. Nice to see a bit more in attack too. I did genuinely laugh out loud as Nowell darted over for his first try through a huge gap at the fringe of the ruck that Laidlaw didn't even see. I'm not trying to rag on the wee man, as I think he had his best game of the tour today, but for a cat that sometimes takes a fortnight to play the ball his offensive awareness is brutal.fivepointer wrote:Agreed.

Re: V Chiefs
He was really keen to get back on the field and very frustrated, but I and the 2 guys that team coach the squad stuck to our guns. Once he got medical clearance, we let him do full physical contact training and had him do waterboy duties for 1 fixture before we selected him to start at lock - against the very team that he got concussed playing against.Banquo wrote:whilst I get he is keen to press his case and do well for the team, the medics are much better off erring on the side of caution.cashead wrote:It's really frustrating to see a professional do that after I just had one kid in the team I co-coach sit out for about a month due to a concussion.
We told him over and over again that we'd rather him miss as many games as required in this 1 season than to put his playing future at risk for just 1 fixture.

As I understood the IRB's strictures 8 years ago, a loss of consciousness was a mandatory 2 weeks off.cashead wrote:It's really frustrating to see a professional do that after I just had one kid in the team I co-coach sit out for about a month due to a concussion.

Re: V Chiefs
The NZRU's rule for any rugby played under their jurisdiction states "3 weeks once symptoms end." In this case, it's secondary school rugby, which is overseen by the Bay of Plenty Rugby Union, who reports to the NZRU.kk67 wrote:As I understood the IRB's strictures 8 years ago, a loss of consciousness was a mandatory 2 weeks off.cashead wrote:It's really frustrating to see a professional do that after I just had one kid in the team I co-coach sit out for about a month due to a concussion.

Re: V Chiefs
That's great. There is a difference in the pressure Lawes would be putting on himself....once in a lifetime chance etc...but thats why intervention is needed.cashead wrote:He was really keen to get back on the field and very frustrated, but I and the 2 guys that team coach the squad stuck to our guns.

Re: V Chiefs
It seems strange that in recent years there has been a medical division between losing consciousness and concussion.
This seems particularly strange to me after having personally suffered serious concussion without losing consciousness.
I find it inconceivable that someone could lose consciousness and not be considered to have suffered concussion.
