Barbarian FC v British & Irish Lions

Have to say I'm glad not many Irish players are playing today from a selfish point of view. By the sounds of it the chance of injury is pretty high. There'll be two water breaks in each half and these big fans on either side of the pitch. Apparently Parisse lost 3kg in a light training session this week,

Yeah, its something that really adds to the respect we have for these players. Its great playing in friendly conditions but to play at the top level in temperatures and humidity as high as they are is not something I could do.

Yeah definitely high 20's even though its 7:30 and 90% humidity don't think I could even run in that.

One of the sky pundits made a good point in that getting through it will really add to the mental toughness.
 
I really need to see this but I haven't got sky! Does anyone know where I can stream it from the Internet for free?
 
High pitched scream.

EDIT: Roberts looks like he wants to kill someone in his pic and Hogg's just really confused.

Shame we missed the choir......they were Welsh too but balaced with some Irish dancing, Scottish pipers and chines dancers!!

Mate of mine was singing in the choir................

Good God they have got Walsh as the ref.....................may the Lord help us!!
 
wow ! how extroverted for an Englishman !!

Boy, 3 nil...that took long.

Very harsh penalty given for no arms in tackle when he was kncoked on his a*** by the tackled player!!

Farrell being shown up at the moment too.....two bad kicks and now retaliation against his team mate at Sarries!!
 
Bit of an over reaction.

If I have to hear Barnes talk about Farrall's "cool tempermant" for the whole match I'll do something I might regret.
 
Walsh you tool, how is Brits' action any worse than Farrell's, and since when have we stopped reversing penalties for retaliation? Really annoys me that - complete change without announcement.

Have to say Brits was lucky not to have a red and Farrell a yellow?
