Final claxon will be closer to the 10.25 mark, I've been pushed by the last few Saturday games to be out the door for 10.30 for the kids Saturday games.

No, I very much doubt it. Certainly seem to be in the majority in this thread anyway.

Lots of doubting going on, that's for sure.

Lads, can anyone recommend a good pub in Dublin for tomorrow morning? Tried the Woolshed last week but was a bit too full for my liking. Plus will be on my own this week so would like somewhere quiet

Yes and well, if you dont understand why I didnt select him, well I guess you just dont follow rugby.
Youngs being in the squad had little reasoning to Webb getting in over Care though

Reign it in. Less of the passive aggressiveness please.

Based on the last couple of years who on earth would take Ben Youngs over Rhys Webb?!

Overall I would probably take Youngs but it is certainly an argument I can see going the other way.Webb has been quite impressive on his day and it is not like Young does not have bad days. As I said I would pick Young but I would overly complain if the Lions picked Webb ahead of Young.

Is there anything to be said for calling up Isaac Boss as third choice SH?

They always seem to take their time cutting away from them at the end. Pretty sure they just want to see them squirm.

Good as in he purposefully embarasses himself

I dare say he's making a damn fine living making an eejit of himself AND he's got a front row seat on a complete lions tour.

We should be so lucky


Best wishes to Geech, hope he recovers soon

Quinnell had that great School of Hard Knocks speach years ago where he knocked it out of the park, been living off it since.

The Sky hype machine peaked with their preview last night with some tooth sucking poem being read out.

McGeechan's daughter has tweeted to say her Dad is fine, appears to have been the ill effects of a bug.

A bug what? A bug beg of chups?

He was first to try the platter of fruit in the Lions changing room. Sneaky Kiwis.

Murray is the first NH player in history to score 4 test tries against the ABs

Reporting from Scotland here ... happy out in the majority, would have won by more with Scots in the team.

That's mad, is that true? (Edit: My fact checking extends to asking the original source to repeat the claim)

Clegg

Has to be Sexton and Farrell again next week. Both were instrumental in the Lions trys today. Pleased for Sexton especially as he started the tour poorly but has improved game on game.

Vunipola can't start next week. Was penalty machine today and McGrath had a big 20 minutes when he came on. Made the crossing mistake but tackled and hit rucks extremely hard.

Bleating Lamb

As a matter of interest do people reckon the players will imbibe much alcohol after game?....surely NZ will be tucking themselves up in bed dreaming of ways to win in third test.

So it would be counterproductive for Lions to go on the rip as regards game recovery time.

sort out the discipline and next week will be interesting. but you have to say NZ are still favourites
