I hope the Lions eat their Weetabix before the blues game Wednesday otherwise it could be a very long tour.

I'd back Gatland (the younger) if NZ baabaas get a late try.

When's the Lions team to face the Blues announced?
How's he not penalised the leg lift in the maul?!

Ruck formed? Joke decision
Very worrying that aside from one good territorial kick Farrell has been just as bad as Sexton so far.
Quite apart form everything else the pack balance hasn't felt good. I don't like this backrow, I'd only take one of Moriarty and Faletau in that unit and I say that even though both have been good tonight. That doesn't make the balance good. Would prefer Tipuric to add a little zip.

I disagree. His game as a whole has been far better. He's increased the tempo, he's taken it to the line, his passing's been more accurate. Other than his pretty poor missed kick I think he's done a fine job.
Mako, what a boy
If you'll notice all his posts are slagging off the English players
Someone's just being salty because Sexton was terrible

tips has been good defensively since coming on, putting lots of pressure on.

We can talk about tactics until the cows come home but the ongoing story is one of missed chances, positions given away, lineouts not straight and basic set plays ruined with offsides and infringements. Just an awful performance.

What game are you watching? He's played better than Sexton, barely. Very worrying indeed.

Incredibly embarrassing, albeit with some promising individual performances.
Warburton says "pretty happy with that"

Really was....
Pathetic
Think that Moriarty struggled today in terms of the backrow. Faletau and Warbs made some good carries and it will be interesting to see the tackle stats.
Think there's a few superstars to come back to the pack, including Itoje somewhere.
Not a great start. Next few games will be interesting.
