The Lions 2013

[Rosco]

Hibbard went before Cole and buckled on the hit that time

 

[Rosco]

Front row gives away a penalty. Beale to take

 

[Jürgen4PM]

This is it

 

[Rosco]

Beale slips

 

[Jürgen4PM]

Dipso is MOTM!

 

[Rosco]

We couldn't have been any luckier.

They missed five kicks?

 

[Athens]

Beale displaying how not to kick during that match.

 

[Judge Jules]

Holy cow. Another Lions win in Brisbane, despite the fact that we did our best to give it away at times.

 

[Jürgen4PM]

Oh how we got out of jail there!

 

[livvy145]

Was that John Terry?

 

[Judge Jules]

He's certainly ugly enough.

 

[Jürgen4PM]

I hope Corbisiero is fit for next week.

 

[Rosco]

So do I.

I hope we change the back row too.

 

[Jürgen4PM]

Genia was MOTM by a mile for me - We would have won with ease if he wasn't on the pitch.

 

[Judge Jules]

Did Deans' strategy of wrapping his players in cotton wool cost them that game?

 

[Judge Jules]

Genia was MOTM by a mile for me - We would have won with ease if he wasn't on the pitch.

Got to agree. He's some player.

 

[Rosco]

No .

they lost because of we managed to injure all their kickers

 

[Judge Jules]

What I was getting at was whether their relative lack of recent match time helped that to happen.

 

[Rosco]

I doubt it - we've had loads of match time and fuck loads of injuries

 

[Jürgen4PM]

Hopefully that has settled the nerves for our lot.

Just a few calls for Gatland to look at for next weeks game:

Phillips or Youngs?
The back row needs looking at. Falatua, Sam and Lydiate/O'Brien please Mr Gatland.
Tough call to make if Bowe is back fit.
Expect a change if Roberts or Tuilagi is fit.

 

[Rosco]

Captain anonymous watched 165 rucks

 

[Jürgen4PM]

This is the worst Wales have played since the first half against Ireland in the 6 Nations

Halfpenny - 2 conversions
Halfpenny - 3 pens
Cuthbert - try
North - try

 

[Jürgen4PM]

Wallace is singing Tom Youngs praises.

It seems he wasn't the weak link that some people thought he might be.

 

[Rosco]

Because the Aussies didn't bother competing in the line out - that's the only dodge bit in his game,unlike Hibbard who can't really play rugby

 

[Jürgen4PM]

He doesn't have to do anything. Gatland just needs to realise how bad the other two are.

You on Best and our other two hookers.

Seems you've changed your tune...

 

[Rosco]

Well at least I was half right !

 

[Jürgen4PM]

Is Sam the youngest player to captain a Lions side to a test victory?

 

[StevieM]

It's entirely possible Beale was smashed tried to take that kick and fell over.
