    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.


    you can say the same for the Soccer Matches,, no pro-Man Utd..

    Well, in contrast to the BaaBaas the Force are actually tackling. Lions will have to earn their victory.

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


    he only had about a few days to practice compare the rest who had 3 weeks before last Saturdays game

    about time they went for 3 points.

    FFS what on earth are you talking about, if he hadn't scooped that up we would have lost possession there anyway. It's not his fault the ball went loose.

    Your constant criticism of players would be more bearable if it wasn't so completely misdirected.

    I'm talking about the pass that a 6'3 player had to jump for.

    God this is an uninspiring performance

    Heaslip the best player on the field by a margin. Lot of those Lions in the pack need a kick up the arse

    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.

    Disagree, he picked and go'd into 2 forwards when there was space elsewhere, I think hes been a bit predictable, he rarely picks up the ball and runs laterally before passing, he prefers to pass straight from the ruck, when he does pick up the ball he invariably tries to run it so sides can see his intentions in advance.

    Tom Youngs arrived at the same time.

    First one was the fault of the lifters. Throw was fine. Wasn't paying a lot of attention for the second.

    Both have been bad but on flip side Bowe, Heaslip and Sexton have been very good.

    Feel so bad for Best. I think Murray is just trying a little too hard but Best seems genuinely in trouble with his throws.

    Bit of perspective needed here. Gatland and the coaches are not going to dismiss Best based on 2 overthrows with a wet ball in drizzling rain.

    Ditto if/when Hibbard or Youngs do likewise.

    However, that being said, he needs to start hitting his jumpers.

    Rory did say he was very nervous about the game and perhaps that is showing so far, but let's give him a chance here before knee-jerk reactions.

    There was a massive gap in the B channel, the Force had to scramble those forwards across from behind the ruck. Completely worth it. In future the gaps will appear further out.

    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.

    Traditionally, they play Australia A or Australian Barbarians on the tour. The Barbarians game was a sponsor thing, I'm sure. It would be much better to play a game in UK/Ireland in a packed stadium against Argentina or France.

    Really don't think Murray has had his best game so far at all. Both he and Best need to be excellent as they won't have many opportunities

    SOB and Heaslip playing well.

    Backline looks dangerous when they get the ball.

    I'd like to see Murray quicken up a bit and stop passing to players at head height.

    Fairly dull atmosphere at the game by the sounds of things on tv.

    "Well, yeah, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man"

    The jitters mid way through the season seem to effected Best's throwing, which is a shame because he's far and away the best hooker in every other regard

    That was to trouttrout who said I was "delighted" that Murray messed up. I couldn't give a rats, I'm calling all players mistakes and good plays. So far its been Best and Murray and I've called them both on it. Last week I called Sexton on his kicks.
