Barbarian FC v British & Irish Lions

[big ginger 8]

Philips really likes Lions tours.

 

[Tony Manx]

Good try from Phillips who is also having a good game...............but will the Aussies be quaking in their boots after the match so far?!!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I've been pretty impressed by Roberts and Davies together, they haven't had too much to do yet, but everything they have done has been efficient and effective.

Got to wonder why they're so poor for Wales.
Must be the 10

Than they'll be the best partnership ever with Sexton .

Proper Lions talk this.

Stuart Barnes just said "that won't happen to Farrell again all tour". He certainly has a soft spot for him to say the least...

To be fair both Barnes and Farrell are English and fly halves................?

 

[Jockstap]

Even though I want the Lions to win it is difficult to support any team in which Farrell is playing in.

Why? I don't understand all the hate for Farrell, has he murdered lots of children or something?

 

[ZeFrenchy]

Hair like Hibbard's shouldn't be allowed for frontrowers. Tight jerseys either.

He has one of those faces. Also the clapping after Brits was sin-binned was uncalled for.

 

[Tony Manx]

Lions' pluses........Adam Jones, POC, Maitland and Phillips.

Minuses - Farrell

Winners so far are the conditions and the Wallabies!!

Edit....corrected!!

 

[UlsterRugby2012]

I must say I had a laugh at Greenwoods comment about bars of soap and a bath.

EDIT: Duncan Jones?

 

[Big Ewis]

well, that was sort of boring, no offense to fans. I'm out.
But def. promising for British Isles ppl I feel, the second half is gonna be a loooooong ass thing for these poor Baabaas....
Looking good for the Aussie Tour right now. Hopefully for the Australians, the Baabaa scrum is crap (despite some good elements) because if the Lions beat the likes of Castro, I can't imagine what will happen to the Wallabies...
I predict a 2-1 Lions Tour of Australia, but that's that...

I reckon Hogg would have bagged himself 2 tries in normal conditions, Tipuric has been decent as have the centres. Everyone else have been solid.

Hair like Hibbard's shouldn't be allowed for frontrowers. Tight jerseys either.

I'm hoping he gets dick of the day or something, during the tour, and the fines committee make him get a haircut.
Makes me feel a bit sick every time I see it.

 

[Draggs]

What a player.

 

[big ginger 8]

Good spot by Philips, after a lovely touch down from Lydiate.

 

[UlsterRugby2012]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Hibbard looks like he slays dragons in his spare time.

 

[Amiga500]

Observations:

- Farrell has no class.
- The conditions are probably really playing to the Lions, who are in the midst of heavy training whereas the Barbarians are looking forward to their holidays. This would be particularly evident upfront.
- Baa-baas front row has been demolished.
- Lions midfield looks handyish... but how much of that is due to tired fringe defence from the Barbarians giving more space than is normal in test matches?

 

[big ginger 8]

No look at the TNO?

Didn't need it, good call there.

That's some superb play from both sides, Hogg was brilliant and calm, awful pass form Farrell there though!
