    And I'm sure if he got the offload away you wouldn't have posted praising his play :rolleyes:

    Your posts are so unbearably one eyed

    Awful throw by Best
    Needs to nail these throws to stake his claim.

    Jesus christ man the only one who is unbearably one eyed is you if you can't take a criticism of your provinces player without being precious.

    I said Sexton's kicking was awful last week. Said Best was bad there. But you take issue with Murray?? hmmmm

    Yeah, trying to offload

    Trying too hard I think, break never really looked on there, similarly 5 mins earlier when we were on their line after a Tuilagi break and Murray took it on resulting in 5 lost metres, needs to show more patience in them situations.

    Knocking on at the try line isn't bad play? Each to their own indeed. He should have held on or passed earlier.

    Best could have the greatest game possible in the loose. If he delivers a couple of wonky throws today, his chances of the test team are realistically gone.

    Dunno why the Force didn't take 3 points. Points builds pressure.

    Similar was posted during Saturdays game and I don't get it. The commentators and analysts are balanced in their view of all players, I don't think there's any pro-English stuff to the detriment of Irish players.

    I dont know why but Bests throwing has been awful when his side has gone up the line this season.

    Spot on, and I'm afraid it doesn't look good.
    Would love to see him nail a spot down, especially after the way he was treated. Should have been a first pick.

    The earlier pick and go was absolutely the right option. The force were fanning out and leaving a big gap in that B channel. Scrum halves should go for that every single time. Whether or not he lost ground is irrelevant, the Force have to be forced to build their line from inside out.

    The dropped ball was poor though, he'll have to improve on that.

    Trying to offload & keep the play flowing was the right idea, he tried to offload, but no one in support, at least he tried to keep the play moving instead of being dragged to ground, he's thinking, playing well so far, quick pop passes, as long ad he keeps it up I'm happy, don't expect everything to come off for him

    Their next S15 match is a rivalry with the Waratahs. If the Lions wanted to play them at full strength they should have played them last weekend when they had no game.
    Australia was only going to provide 6 non test games. Lions needed an extra game in order to make money so had to play Babas last weekend.

    Sad to say, but Best really hasn't a hope of a test start now
