Warm Up Match 5: Maori All Blacks v British & Irish Lions (Rotorua)

[Gavin]

What a great Haka

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Does anyone else find it really awkward at the end of the haka when they keep staring to see if the opposition are scared?

 

[Reiser99]

And nope...already kicks too far that aren't being challenged.

No.

 

[Every Time Ref]

Fucks sake Davies. **** has he even done to apparently be the test 13?

What has a Joesph done really despite playing more.

 

[GoTheNaki]

Good start.

 

[dullonien]

Don't understand kicking away advantage like that. Free play, use it!

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Time to get Lowe

They already got him. He'll be a Lion in 4 years time.

 

[Truth]

Lovely start from the Lions. Recovered when they went backwards. No mistakes so far...

 

[Reiser99]

Understand the kick from Murray, it was just crap though.

Aye, give Davies a chance. Not a great pass there, and that's certainly his weakness which isn't great, but he was great in a very attacking Scarlets side in the Pro-12 run-in, so shows he can fit an attacking gameplan.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Sexton starting very well.

 

[TommiG88]

Sexton starting very well.

He's obviously learning a lot from Farrell during training

 

[Truth]

Kerr Barlow knocking the ball out of Murrays pass to North of the scrum set move. Need to pass quicker. Maori defence very flat.

What has a Joesph done really despite playing more.

I'm not specifically arguing for JJ, he has played pretty average unfortunately, but Daly hadn't had a shot there, Teo (who has played well and can play 13), Ringrose not even in the squad...no one obvious candidate who "should" be test 14, it just feels like JD has been nailed on from the moment they arrived, regardless of performances.

To be honest it's a bit of a personal vendetta, I've just never thought he's all that.

 

[GoTheNaki]

That box kick was filthy lol. Measured.

 

[valley commando]

Fucks sake Davies. **** has he even done to apparently be the test 13?

Shut up

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Good job he's stopped doing whatever he was taught!

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Justin Marshall is such a clown . He was going on about how George north took his eyes off the ball for that scrum set play while the replay clearly showed it was knocked on in the tackle and hit him in the chest. Meanwhile Marshall is saying "what was he thinking"
