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

Right im probably going cause some controversy here and say that i think Owen Farrell has had a good and solid first half. Also i think Falatou has been okay not amazing but not ****e, whereas i do think warbs hasn't been great and neither has Lydiate. Finally Ben Youngs has been on Fire!!!... Feel free to disagree haha

Don't worry if you miss it - I'm sure the red team will win.

Well, it is better than the rain-drenched Harlequins/Biarritz match this winter when both teams were clad in mud.

I hope the Lions are now finished with their uncontested crossfield madness.

See above. Any kick that isn't done for distance or into the stands HAS to be contested.

Cuthbert has been **** as has the entire backroe. North has been class as has Youngs.

 

[Joseph14]

North and Bowe have the wing positions sewn up for the tests.

North nailed on the test team imo along with Sexton, Halfpenny, Phillips, Jones, O'Connell and BOD.

Bowe cuts better lines than Matt Stevens...

I always thought Phillips was nailed on from the start but Youngs is showing well here and have to see more of them both to decide who is playing and who is on the bench.......POC needs more game time, a lot more, to be nailed on for me and with Manu's injury that is one less centre standing in the way of Bod I suppose!! The rest I agree.............!!

 

[Groundhog]

It would be class if our pack did some rucking.

Falatou is starting to play

Do the lions have Sexton and Farrell on??

Sexton came on when Davies went off for blood? Thought he had come back on so who is missing?

Incidentally, not one metion of Garces...............must be doing an ok job!!

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

I'd add Richie Gray to a list of starters for the first test. He is everywhere and so athletic!

I thought Sexton was on for Bowe?

On for Bowe.

The teams starting to come together! That back row on does not work right now.

 

[Tony Manx]

Did not realise Gray was even on the pitch until notice him going into the post injury break scrum...............must be having a great game!!

 

[tenpm]

Parling has been much better than Gray.
