yermandan

On paper it was a line out team. Byrne is renowned for his good line out throwing, O'Connell and Kay are two of the best jumpers in the British Isles. Just didn't click today, and Chris Jack was immense.

i know johnson i'm just pissed off after losing 80% of them!!!

New Zealand 24 - England 3



The only good thing about the people being selected that shouldn't have is they knew it and had more urgency to their game.

Just saw the B O'D "tackle" :mad: Absolute horror. Citable I would have thought.

Anyone got any video links? sky didnt show much.

This is Woodward's comment on it

Moreover, there is speculation that O'Driscoll might have been the victim of foul play, and the Lions never recovered from his departure as they cras hed to defeat.

"Brian is not good. It is a very bad dislocation, and it took 25 minutes to get his shoulder back in," said Lions head coach Woodward.

"I don't think a lot of the team saw it - it was off the ball. The pictures won't lie so we have just got to see what happened."

The spear tackle Umaga put in on Lewsey was horrific. Expected better of Umaga, seeing as he's the owner of a Pierre deCoubertin medal.

Heh I expected more of him to watching him playing in previous matches but he was the most dirty basterd on the field today. AS for the bloody french refree and Linesmen where they the most blind & biased basterds today or was that just me?

Davei141

Yeah the amount of basic stuff missed was unbelievable.

Chucky the tree

greencock cited for biting, nice to see he has changed. The two NZ lads have to be cited, just saw pictures of it on tv and it was a terrible challenge.

anyone got a video of the tackle?

Grewcock is and always will be pure scum.

rubberduckey

Does anyone know where online we can view the tackle???

Chucky the tree

i saw it on bbc news, so maybe try the website. ITs an aerial view, not great, but definitly clear to see. sky news sport is coming up at 20 past the hour so might be on that.

Davei141

My only grief with grewcock is he didnt bite hard enough

Omg this is on BBC website

The Lions lodged an official complaint but BBC Radio Wales understands neither Umaga nor Mealamu will be cited.

They better use this as inspiration next week, clatter those 2. Hard.

Chucky the tree

cant see how grewcock can be then either, there no video evidence of him biting.

I dont doubt the **** did it though, he complete dirt.

BOD "Tackle" was an absolute disgrace! Completely off the ball, completely intentional, It's bad sportsmanship, It's cheating, and it's ridiculosly dangerous. Like BOD said himself, it was a tactic, intentional and planned, and he could have broken his neck.

The "Spear" tackle is banned from the sport for that very reason, and i would have no hesitation in seeing that offence as a automatic 1 year ban from the game, regardless of who it's by or who it's on, i'm so appauled by it.

The rule is there, but not being enforced...unbelieveable...Bo'd may even get wilkonson sceanario now and play rugby when he shouldn't because of demands of club and country, and turn this already very serious injury (took 30 minutes to re-locate it was so badly dislocated...usually takes 5 seconds.) into a career threating injury.

Those lads should both be banned for at least the rest of the tour, and that would be a very lienient punishment in my opinion....shame nothing is going to be done about it :rolleyes:

Im watching the match again as we speak and it was well after the ball was gone, you can hear o driscoll screaming in pain as soon as he lands. I agree its ****ing disgusting.

As far as I recall Didn't D'Arcy spear someone in one of the matches recently?
I can't remember if it was Taranaki or Otago but I definately remember him picking someone up and spearing them.
Maybe thats what got the AB's fired up?

Yeah, he did spear someone and pretty much off the ball as well - though it was more of a case of lifting the guy up and dropping him rather than actually ramming him into the ground.

Anyway, he got penalised and talked to for it, and it happened a good few games ago, so I can't see it being too fresh in the AB's mind.

zAbbo

just watched it again, and you can see BOD getting dumped as well as a very audible '****in hell' cry in agony
