    Quite well. Linking well with his back line and popping up around the place. With that said, he's still not moving the ball away quickly enough to push himself ahead of Youngs, I think.

    Another line out faff. Best throwing but not his fault. POC is the biggest issue in the line out. If he's not there, there's little in terms of a proper line out leader.

    Any chance of Zebo getting any game on tour? North and Halfpenny seem almost certainties, Cuthbert sounds like he's doing poorly and Hogg's pace is hard to leave out.

    (Still, can't wait to see his big cheesy grin when he arrives in Oz)

    He's there, I thought I saw him in the stand beside the other lads.

    Can't see BOD playing 80 today and making the Saturday team. 2 games in 5 days would be asking a lot of him.

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

    Done very little wrong, knock on early in the game, made up for it with a chargedown, got a try, made one great break and has kept play ticking over. Good day at the office

    Well there's Faletau's test shot gone. Simple pop pass to SOB and Murray inside him for a walk into the line and he pops it to nobody.

    Only half watching it (in work) and missed the first half, but the second half has been very sloppy from the Lions. Poor handling and poor passing in particular. Pretty disappointing tbh.

    SOB lucky he got over there because in a 'real' game he would have been snagged and that should have gone.

    Exactly. If he hadn't made the line, he'd (rightly) have been absolutely slated.

    What the hell was Davies at there? Awful pass, and that kind of distribution is the reason he won't be in the test side

    So many handling errors. Sloppy from JD on that occasion. Kurtley Beale wouldn't have slapped that down and would have been under the sticks.

    Knock on? If it comes off his hand, hits no one else, then you kick it before it hits the ground, is that a knock on?

    It hit the ground before he kicked it.

    Doesn't matter anyway I think. Knock on is a knock on no matter if you kick it. Think it has to be a kick on purpose to be counted as a kick if you get what I mean.

    That is the case, but sometimes you can argue that it was an intentional kick and not a knock on that you kicked. In this case it hit the ground anyway.
