Warm Up Match 1: New Zealand Barbarians v British & Irish Lions (Whangarei)

[Ground We Won]

Hah, a kiwi complaining about someone dancing before doing rugby

Lol. Fairplay.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Will Laidlaw get 80 minutes just so he doesn't have to play again? Webb would hurt this Baabaa's side.

Only reason I can think of,
Gotta give him at least an hour just to make the flights worthwhile

 

[dullonien]

at last

 

[Goodey]

In what universe does a maul march 10m forward and then gets brought down by an attacking player. Mad decision.

I'm not watching the game but anyone criticising Laidlaws "unique attributes" is likely doing so on merit. He is an acquired taste.

I'm so glad Scotland are touring without him as they are far more entertaining without him and the italy game might have some pace to it. Cheers Warren!

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Watching the kiwi coverage.

Justin Marshall asked about the performance of Gregg Laidlaw.
Slight pause.
"Oh I think he's been excellent "

 

[GoTheNaki]

This Lions team is not a representative of the team i expect to see. Even when they play the Blues, they will be totally different.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Is Te'o crying or does he suffer from hay fever?

It's more than that Bruce. Passing behind the ten, making poor decisions and being slow at the ruck are not acquired attributes for any 9. Not to mention poorly timed kicking.

Crying at how bad Laidlaw is...

 

[Reiser99]

I still think Jones is overrated and he's done nothing to change my mind today.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Jonathan Joseph has been absolutely terrible.

Yeah, nah.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Can you imagine asking laidlaw to pass the salt? Your food would be cold before you got it.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Can you imagine asking laidlaw to pass the salt? Your food would be cold before you got it.

And it would then hit you in the eye.

 

[Goodey]

Crying at how bad Laidlaw is...

Mate, give it a rest.

 

[Jockstap]

Yeah, nah.

You think he's playing well?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Mate, give it a rest.

Will do now he is off.

But sorry one of the worse performances from a lions player in a age.

Scotland have 2 other 9's that would be better in the midweek than him.

And it was predictable he wouldn't fit In the squad.

 

[TommiG88]

Leave it leave it leave it.... Webb picks it up

 

[ratsapprentice]

You think he's playing well?

He's done ok, made some good defensive reads, and had to take multiple awful passes.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

You think he's playing well?

What's he done wrong? Hasn't exactly been getting the best ball
