AUNZ Invitational XV v British & Irish Lions

[Leonormous Boozer]

Expecting to see a bit of Schmidt in this Invitational team, him and Kiss are double jobbing it after the tour for Oz and I'd be amazed if they haven't discussed this game.

Loyalties starting to be questioned for me here, Schmidt winning a Lions tour as a massive underdog would be so sweet.

I'm also going to force myself to like Henry Pollock throughout his career. It goes against everything I've ever learned but he's too good and entertaining to root against and not enjoy his success.

Always knew you loved the royal family
Your Irishness is so performative

Is it just me, I think this will be the lions easiest game in that they are also playing a scratch side.

I think the game will be a lot looser. I suspect AUNZ to score at least 4 tries, but could see the lions running in 10

Tom Jordan is being choppered in from Fiji as Owen red card cover.

Why would they want Jordan, he just lost to Fiji - Owen Farrell would never do that

I hope they stop for refuelling

God NZ really got screwed in this kit

Badly let down by his pack and Toonie tactics unfortunately.

Yeah but he helps boost the SH lions numbers

Not doing a retro quartered black and yellow jersey should cop someone a ban from the sport.

I'm funnelling all the schadenfreude into George Ford. The Pumas will get him tonight.

 

[TommiG88]

Feel that was a rip over a knock on. But it’s VDM, so tut

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Ergh I find them tries so annoying

 

[Grizwald]

James Lowe wouldn't have scored that......

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Quick throws like that are so lame

 

[dirty harry]

This could be a dangerous game for Farrell, if it gets messy too many lions will look too good, think VDM, Pollock etc

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Was that a little bit of dawg from Hugo Keenan, are the boys barking for him?

 

[AngloScotsHybrid]

Commentator describing that try from DVDM as world class. All he had to do is run forward a few yards with nobody opposing him

Don't you mean Jesus Christ? Because he's nailed on.
