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

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Our supporting lines have been crap in the backs.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Sat Laidlaw Bigger axis is fine!

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Te'o is a freak. With that in mind, why does he never have support? He breaks the line half the time he gets the ball, there should always be at least 2 players ready to be right on his shoulder.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Laidlaw has been awful.

Scotland have 2 better 9's with them already.

 

[TommiG88]

As soon as there is a breakdown, Laidlaw plays us backwards.

 

[Reiser99]

Bloody Laidlaw, learn how to pass!!!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Passing is atrocious

 

[UlsterRugby2012]

Holy god we are so boring

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Ladilaw at his **** flinging best I see

 

[ratsapprentice]

Contact with the neck, How was it not?
You see "seat belt" tackles regularly penalised in the NH, this was 10x worse

They shouldn't be, it's ********.

 

[UlsterRugby2012]

My stream just jumped forward, and how the **** have we lost so much ground ball in hand

 

[Reiser99]

Laidlaw's passes are too high and slow...allows the maori's plenty of time to push up.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Sinckler is able to get the ball out of the ruck faster than laidlaw. Since laidlaw and Biggar have come on the lions have been going backwards and throwing hospital passes. How any Scots could think laidlaw was actually decent...

 

[Bluemoon]

Laidlaw is so so slow. If he's anywhere near the test team I might cry.

 

[dullonien]

Owens looked good since coming on. A little more exposive in his carrying than George. George's work in the set-pieces especially was excellent though. 2 very good options to have, who compliment each other well.

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Noooo, not Laidlaw

So good of Gatland to keep him the hell away from Scotlands touring party so that the far superior Ali Price can lead them to a historic victory.

 

[87Dreamer]

One thing is certain, Colin Cooper is still a terrible coach, no real game plan to suit the conditions, obviously no plan b.
Lions played smarter football tonight, and executed the basics well

 

[TommiG88]

Absolute **** since Laidlaw and Biggar have come on haha

 

[ratsapprentice]

How is our play with the ball so utterly abysmal?!
