Match talk here

Thanks Baswec3!

Hurray...another haka

Their openside was slightly out of step there 4/10

My 3 year old loved the Crusaders on the horses, impatiently waiting to see the Lions they're going to fight now.

NZ franchises have set each other a target for angriest haka

Erik Shin

That was a bit long wasn't it... shorter haka needed

Just a tiny delay on the pass from Farrell and there you go. Neither Sexton nor Biggar have managed that.

We thought it was best one yet, anything that keeps the kids interested is ok with me.

Crusaders living offside by the looks of things.

The Rape of Lucretia

Christ. Does every New Zealand team subject us to this ****e before games now ? Its getting as bad a minutes silence becoming part and parcel of every match. Ubiquity just makes both a nonsense.

Good 2 mins from Murray and Farrell.

3 of the super teams will, apparently. Guess that means you'll only have 2 matches where you don't have to endure one. Apologies.

Murray and Farrell impressive so far.

Kanrith

Murray's kicks have been great so far.

DDC1990

Lovely steal Peter.

SlickRic

Crusaders looking very offside most of the time.

Erik Shin

Early days of course....but best Lions performance by a distance so far this tour

I know, its dreadful. Throw in the blatantly anti-Islamic name of the team, and its all rather distasteful in so many ways.

Looks like we have close to a test team out there.

Great steel in the lineout from POM

I think Barnes has romantic feelings for Farrell.

Classy even by your standards

ThisRegard

Stupid warning for that considering the slip.

Don't like him personally but Farrell really has great distribution, loves that delayed pass and often puts a man into space.

irishbucsfan

Half backs both look good. Promising signs.

The English say the same about Sexton

Another improved performance so far

What's wrong with Farrell?

That wasn't a knock on. Through his arms and backwards then bounced forward. One of my pet peeves with rugby these days.

Bazzo

Drink (your tea) every time Barnes says the word "Dewy".

DDC1990

Its been said but Murray's kicking is causing them all sorts of trouble. Chance for 6-0 now.

Nah, his party piece is the wraparound and putting himself into space :rolleyes:

He's English. I don't have to like them, do I?

"NZ a little perplexed by the European interpretation at the scrum"

What, Stuart, you think the kiwis don't know not to push before the ball goes in? Do you really know what you're talking about, ever?

Did one for England think it was to one of the centers and it was pure sex

Buer

Murray nailing his spot down. Solid from everyone else. Kruis looking good too.

DDC1990

Did Murray take out Hogg?

Conor Murray you filthy player. No need for that.

awec

Ouch.

Lol

DDC1990

Getting his buddy Zeebs the callup? :P

DDC1990

Haha the NZ commentary is gas.

He started the game optimistically and leaving the game misty optically.

This is great.

Watson had the hair straighteners going this morning

Demolished.
