[2016 Super Rugby] Sunwolves vs. Lions (Round 1) 27/02/2016

[General Tah]

Am confused.
Should i be impressed with the Wolves or disappointed in the Lions

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Shame Goosen isn't playing much rugby ATM.

Sunwolves been decent considering the lack of time together.


Lions have forgotten that you need to put players in the rucks.


Floodgates now opening.

Both, definitely both.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Missed last 10 minutes of first half due to the bloody landlord showing up, anything interesting @Tigs Man?

Just saw this.

Nah nothing of interest really IMO.

 

[sonnench]

Just got a little emotional seeing Dylan Smith get on.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[sonnench]

Lions are just playing absolutely dreadful in every department. Am disappoint.

Gonna get smacked around in NZ if they play like this.

Agreed, really see them and the Stormers as our only hopes this season.

Sunwolves getting away with a fair bit around the breakdown.

Dylan ''Sonny Bill'' Smith

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

BS call

After all the holding on penalties lions get.

BS card.

(Penalty I'm fine with just the card)

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Dylan Smith for bok 10

Didn't see it, stream froze.

 

[General Tah]

Should never have been a yellow. Ref just killed the game. Penalty yes yellow no

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Didn't see it, stream froze.

One of those at half way when have had zero warnings to give a card is very harsh.

Just typical back not knowing what to do in the ruck.

 

[sonnench]

Dylan Smith for bok 10

Would buy the jersey.

So O'Keefe keeping up the standard of Kiwi reffing this weekend.

Smith and Marx for Bok 10 and 12.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

That feeling when lions forwards look quicker than there backs.

Whitely is pretty darn fast though.

So much obstruction from the Sunnywolves it's ridiculous.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Nfl style there by Sunwolves.

Good use of blockers

 

[sonnench]

O'keefe is having a shocker.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Lol @ the howls


I have been very impressed with Sunwolves.

Yes lions have been crap, but first super rugby game without big internationals (like Argentina) and without a proper preseason to play like this is brilliant.

Imagine if they had kept a lot of the Japanese internationals like Goromoru and Mafi etc.

Hopefully they might be tempted back if they are competitive.

Will struggle against NZ and Aus teams mind.
