Reds v British and Irish Lions (08/06/13)

[Thingimubob]

Big fan of Grant so I'm chuffed for him! Does some damn good work in the loose!

 

[Tony Manx]

Vunipola is getting an awful lot of game time...

The Lions tours very often throw up the unlikely hero and this one it could well be Vuniploa and I think that he is getting so much game time, not only because of the reduction in numbers of fir Loose heads, but also because he is really under the mircoscope for the 1st test and is in the form of his life is he not?

After four years of hearing about the "all-Welsh Lions front row", looking forward to seeing Corbisiero/Vunipola, Youngs and Cole/Stevens all on the field!

Can't believe England make up 5/9 of the front row. We're not even that strong there.

Gatland will pick Jenkins even if Gethin has to have one of his legs amputated between now and test time

I must admit that it's more likely that we'll see Jenkins-Hibbard-Jones for an all-Welsh front row, AGAIN.

Vunipola/Corbs, Youngs and Cole off the bench though...

G&G preview not much in it but laughed at the PO'C Samo matchup. Expect they'll find out about Tuilagi's power soon enough.

Hahahah - I'm surprised how naive they are, I hope Tuilagi carries more than he did against the Force, he seemed to be trying to change his game to accommodate BOD.
Dont know why they're underestimating Tuilagi that much, didn't a NZer on this forum (can't remember who) say he'd walk the All Black 23?

I can't imagine so? Tuilagi would probably make the squad, though he wouldn't be in a team ahead of Nonu at the moment... That being said he'd still be selected as a potential player due to his age, not as someone who demands selection due to there form.

I just had a scare. After the France/NZ match my channel started airing a rugby league match. I thought they fouled up the programming, but it just switched over to this one, so I'm good.

Except now I must try to get another couple hours sleep. Will have to record this and watch later.

Fantastic my sky decides to screw me over and not work today I am as the welsh would say Tamping

 

[dasNdanger]

Oh, brilliant. How the heck am I to tell these two teams apart?! Soooo much red and white! Standing up it's not so bad, but in the rucks I won't be able to tell who's who!

Shame as this looks like it is going to be some game...................

 

[big ginger 8]

Reds are here to play. Won't be surprised if we lose.

 

[TRF Mr Fish]

This is going to be a cracker!

 

[Tony Manx]

That could be the winning side of the team.......what a good scrum even Stevens kept it going but Vunipola took it forward!!

 

[TRF Mr Fish]

Brilliant almost try, brilliant covering tackle.

Tommy Bowe is ****ing sexy.

I said something along the same lines in the NZ-France thread!

Farrell will you do us all a favor and pick a fight with a drop bear.
