Jim McLean's Ghost Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Lions looking for knock ons from high kicks. Smart but brutal to watch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 That had to be a knockon - he had to reach forward to collect it from where he dropped it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonS Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 I hate how long penalties take. It should be 30 seconds. Who cares if it means a few more are missed. They never used to take anywhere near this long. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Emptied my Bet365 account on a Lions win, so I’m going to get myself a half bottle of MD with the winnings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Angelo Barksdale Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Haha yes. Warrenball 2.0 baby. Some 2nd half performance by the old warriors Lawes and Wyn Jones. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 I only caught the last 20. It wasn’t pretty but a win is a win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left Back Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Deserved it on the end. Second half a much better game of rugby. Very little involvement from the backs on either side was disappointing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 That was brilliant. Ref was a c**t in the first half, we were mullering them in the scrum and that was shown by the fact they changed the entire front row at half time, but second half was excellent and we took him out of it. DVM owed big apologies, because he was fantastic. Lawes as well, another guy getting pelters before the game. Price superb. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Not the prettiest game but man it was brutal. From a Scottish perspective that is money in the bank for these players come 6 nations. I'd rate them in this order.PriceDVMHoggSutherland. Oh and Watson lucky.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Thought the Scottish boys were all decent, Sutherland was solid in general, with some inconsistency in the reffing of the scrum. He got pinged for a couple that were obviously not him but got away with one too. Mish was lucky with the tip tackle, but was good ball in hand and an absolute nuisance in defence. Duhan was solid without really being given a chance to get going, Hoggy did what he needed to do, and Ali Price was, for me, outstanding. Wouldn't be surprised to see the same team next week if everyone is fit tbh, with the exception of Mish for Curry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Any time I see Maro Itoje interviewed, I find him very impressive. It's a shame I find him such a fucking c**t on the pitch, although obviously today, he was our c**t. 2 minutes ago, Left Back said: Curry can’t start again surely 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW I think that since he has stopped the obvious wind up stuff and just got on with his job, I've really warmed to him. Clear MOTM today but I reserve the right to boo him and call out all his illegal actions when he plays for Sarries again -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a test match, the W is more important than entertaining the plebs (still pissed off as I should be in Cape Town tonight looking forward to Port Elizabeth and the 2nd Test) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far too much match-time is taken up with kicks at goal. Today it was around 10% of the whole game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
