2017 Lions Tour

[DocJock]

I've said many times, Laidlaw isn't even the best (or second best) scrum-half in Scotland. He's far too predictable and only gets in for his place kicking.

This is gash

[DocJock]

This is what to expect from a Gatland team though.

Crash ball from T'eo or the inside pass from Sexton to blindside winger.

what a change now that Sexton is off...

Great play from Farrell. Instrumental in that try and a fine conversion.

[DocJock]

The only bloke in red that seems capable of delivering the pass in front of the man rather than at him.

[sidicks]

Farrell just kicked himself out of the test team?!

You just can't miss those kicks.

[hornetrider]

Most unFarrell like.

1/2p available for kicking duties...

[hornetrider]

Farrell miss putting us under pressure now. Really thought we'd push on after the try but it hasn't happened.

[sidicks]

How can Warburton say he was 'pretty happy with that'?

[Slaav]

This is truly awful!

Shockingly bad. Terrible!

I'm a few minutes behind but still.....

[PhilboSE]

Pretty shabby indeed. Let's hope it's just the consequence of a second string scratch team not having had enough match time together.

NZ press will be pleasuring themselves at the thoughts of what they will be able to write up.

Warbs post match interview... I think I was watching a different match

You are Keith Woods AICMFP!

Completely agree.

[Joey Ramone]

That was absolute toilet. I don't care that they were only off the plane for three days. A shocking performance, with a few notable exceptions (step forward Faletau, Sinkler, Teo)

Sexton was abysmal, WTF has happened to his form?

The win was important, but Warburton has got to be more honest with himself, the team and the supporters. He can't have been 'pleased with' the performance.

[DocJock]

Complete anti-climax.

The only people happy with that must be the guys who didn't play (+ Faletau and Sinckler).

Fantastic programme on grass roots kiwi rugby on now. Sky 1. Started at 8.

Loved the pre match Haka at the schools game, about 300 kids per side

That was a much better watch than the Lions game.

Going to be a long tour this one.
