Queensland Reds v British & Irish Lions

[Leonormous Boozer]

There really isnt much of a point to these tour matches hey. If each of the Lions had their worst ever game they'd still win by 30.

Tests should start the Saturday after next for sure. This will get boring soon if it isn't already.

Honestly didn't realise James Ryan was touring, I thought people were joking when they said we should bring him off the bench today

I was slagging Farrel for taking the wrong Curry... until I found out he didnt hahaha

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Mitchell/Smith not a bad combo to bring off the bench together tbh

Hope that persists into the tests and we don't have Kinghorn covering 10 (or Marcus covering anything other than 10)

IMO would love to see games against Fiji, Tonga, Samoa and Japan instead

All these games will be easy wins after half time

Following it on BBC text. Looks like the Lions are putting the screw in

I like having rugby on a Wednesday, though.

 

[Groundhog]

Yeah this tour is going to feel comically long.

 

[General Melchett]

Maybe the next tour down under should be six tests against Aus and NZ in order to squeeze Argentina into the cycle.

 

[Derpus]

Why dont they just play a regular three test tour? Maybe one or two warm ups at home.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

The AUNZ and First Nations & Pasifika XV teams might be interesting depending on who from NZ gets released

Apart from the tradition of touring a nation and bringing high profile rugby games to the provinces of a country who wouldn't normally see it.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

ffs, hopefully that's just a stinger for Daly but he looks in real pain

Yeah the real reason is Australian rugby is broke and this brings cash in. Same reason we got the RWC. Would probably have reverted to amateur rugby if not for those two.

**** that. That goes against everything the Lions have done for over a hundred years. **** off and watch something else if thats how you feel

I refuse.

Yeah they decided last minute to change the schedule and introduce a load of provisional fixtures just to help out the Aussies. Seriously take your head out your arse

 

[Derpus]

Lol derp

Some wheels on Jones there

 

[AlRums]

Great take by Jones
