    Murray is improving but he isn't as good as Phillips, is there anything even vaguely controversial about that opinion? :confused:

    There's a number of posters on here who take massive offence if you say anything that come be considered even remotely critical about their province's players.

    I've no idea what's the issue with saying Phillips is better than Murray.

    What on earth is Barnes talking about, the Lions nearly lost the first game of the last tour, only pulling away in the last ten minutes if I recall correctly. This game has been much more one-sided.

    Barnes will be delighted if Sexton misses this one.

    Think he's getting mixed up with the match vs the Golden Lions.

    It's just painful now to watch. On the plus side, Murray has definitely looked sharp since he game on. I hope the Force put up a better effort than this!

    A fe3w points off the Baa baas biggest loss. Not a bad day at the office.

    I've no idea what's the issue with saying Phillips is better than Murray. He evidently is. Every single pundit in Britain and Ireland has him starting. But apparently that's all nonsense because Murray plays for their team

    If you're referring to me you're way off base. I'm not saying Murray is better than Philips, I was taking issue with the other poster's nonsense about Murray not being big enough or strong enough to do what Philips does

    Awful passes from Evans and now one from Hook show that it genuinely is a tough environment to pass the ball. So i have some sympathy for Farrell tonight. Some people won't want to.

    He will have to improve with his next start and show what he can do.

    He's 20kgs lighter of course he can't break tackles as easy.

    Barbarians by more than 10
    World class by Sexton. What a difference his passing makes, everything is across the chest

    Yeah MOTM was always going to be Phillips or Roberts. Adam Jones was brilliant in the scrum as well. The Welsh had a nice rest though before this, seeing as they're brutal at club level!

    I dunno what the Lions can take out of that second half. String a few passes together and wait for the BaaBaas to roll over? Rococoko can hold his head high. Hamilton has been awful, confirming my impression that he was never a Lions candidate.

    What a total non event of a game. So one sided it was almost boring IMO.
