Sharks vs British & Irish Lions

[TRF_Olyy]

LCD definitely gonna be test starter at this rate

Navidi/Curry backrow is vveerryy nice as well,
Put Conan at 8 and have Watson/Faletau fight for the bench spot

 

[TRF_Olyy]

wtf was Duhan doing then
Instead of chasing back he was dragging that long haired winger into touch after he'd passed the ball, instead

 

[ChicagoKid]

Lions look absolutely gassed. Gatland better get these boys running hills.

Gassed man. Fatigue makes cowards of us all. Duhan was playing like a coward out there.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That break from the Sharks 12 was amazing,

Sold about 3 players with that hanging ball dummying the kick

 

[Rinkadink]

TBF if Curry hadn't knocked on unpressured, butchering what looked like a certain try then Duhan and co wouldn't have been in that position.

Need some game management now.

Is this game at altitude?
I know nothing of the geography of SA

If you're talking about the one on the tryline it wasn't even a knockon, the pass died before it reached him
Commentary have really got it in for him today, everytime he does something good they attribute it to someone else

Nearly 6,000 feet. I think that's around 40,000 meters right? That's what they taught us in American schools....

 

[Rinkadink]

Think that's a try.

Josh Adams is a fiend for them.

 

[big ginger 8]

Reality bends around Adams so that he can score tries.

 

[Ferrari333SP]

Such a sloppy try from Adams, but I'll take it, hahaha

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Literally can't stop scoring,

Not a bad attribute for a back 3 player to have

1.8km above sea level in Joburg.

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

Christ lrz is fast. I forget every time

 

[Ferrari333SP]

LRZ has a very upright stance when he runs

 

[Rinkadink]

Utterly bizarre shot of a pub or something there?

Wat.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Christ lrz is fast. I forget every time

Didn't even look like he was trying, and he looks knackered as well
It's mad

Not gonna lie, before this tour I thought Adams was a guy who could finish and not do much else but he’s completely changed my opinion. When he’s played a game at 11, 14 and 15 this tour and the tries still seem to always end with him I think he absolutely has to start the tests.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Lions have already scored more tries this tour than they did the entirety of the NZ tour four years ago

Aye, I'm the same.
His form dropped off a cliff after he was forces to leave Worcester, but he's back to his best now and I've been impressed with him at 15 (admittedly against poor competition)
Definite starter

Is that due to the higher level of talent in NZ, or to a better group of Lion players this time around
