StockholmRam Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Won't get any easier games either. Going to be a long hard tour and we need to get our act together fast. No other place on the planet like NZ for fierce, intense, brilliant rugby...from Super teams through to ABs. I hope I'm wrong but my heart is saying it's going to be a whitewash.

Angry Ram Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 Looked much better on Saturday but we need to convert those try chances. Great that we in effect shut them out but we can't rely on that come the tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Not posted in this thread for a while. .. The tour seems to have perked up with successive wins over the Maori and the Highlanders. 1st test 2 days away and fair play to Gatland he has been quite bold in his test selection. No halfpenny or north in the back 3. Less warrenball in midfield. Hope they give a good account of themselves but I predict new Zealand by 11.

Anag Ram Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Can't wait for tomorrow's game. Against all expectation I predict a 19-16 victory for the Lions, including an Owen Farrell try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Blacks 7-4 ON to do the whitewash I think according to Paddy Power this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

froggg Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Great first half, well poised, shame about Farrell's botched conversion, 13-8 All Blacks, second half under way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWC1983 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 They are a well oiled machine. Offloading went to hands almost every time and they were ruthless in the breakdown. Some signs of encouragement for the lions. The obvious change would be Itoje for Jones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry Ram Posted June 25, 2017 Author Share Posted June 25, 2017 Great game yesterday, the machine was just too much for us.. Utterly ruthless when they get an opportunity.. However I won't give up on the Lions yet, saw enough to make me believe there is life in this series yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Anything in gatlands suggestion that there was some underhand targeting of Conor Murray? Remembering the quite disgraceful spearing of Brian o'driscoll on the last lions tour 12 years ago. Are the All Blacks, great team though they are, cynically removing perceived threats to their victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
