2017 Lions Tour

He probably have got a yellow if he hadn't hit Watson square on the head.

It was a very cheap shot.

I think last week we saw prettty much the ABs at their best whereas there's plenty of room gor improvement in the Lions.

Or we could get hammered of course...

Thing is they have watched us play for loads of warm up games we only saw them play properly for 30mins against Samoa.

Do you get the impression that the fourth official was trying to talk the ref out of giving a red card?

I certainly do. Massive kudos to Garces for having the balls to make that decision. And have no doubt it's the right decision. We won't see SBW next week either I don't think.

[London424]

Just need to calm down and go through the phases again.

[PhilboSE]

Has the rain stopped?

[Welshbeef]

Anywhere streaming this game?

[NormalWisdom]

Sexton looking wobbly, with SBW off I'd move OF to 10 and bring on Teo

[ICallCustard]

Death by penalties

[hornetrider]

Errors creeping in here. Need to build some structure seems like we've taken our foot off the gas.

[DocJock]

More blocking...

[PhilboSE]

Every time. The way they stand up and makes themselves "big" makes it obvious, from the armchair at least.

[hornetrider]

Apologies but Murray and Sexton aren't playing well. There's a lot of errors in their games. I'd give both the crook at half time for Webb and Te'o and move Farrell to 10.

[DocJock]

Can't argue with that tbh.

[PhilboSE]

Murray almost atoned with that bit of thinking.

I really hope SBW has a bad day... otherwise we might be in for it. Hopefully the forwards are fired up and give us an attacking platform.

I think we can call it a bad day for him now.

[ICallCustard]

Big missed opportunity there.
Calmer heads needed

Got to agree.

I'll take the credit for that one!

SBW

For someone who has recently converted to Islam he doesn't show the religion in its best colour with such violent and dangerous play on the field.

[DocJock]

Can we stick to the rugby please?
