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

[Truth]

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.

I dont think he communicates with team mates before those breaks. He should ask someone to come with him. Had he done so, he would've set up a few tonight. Mind you he was a second rower in league and so he has that crash mentality.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Laidlaw and Biggar don't understand that they can pass in front of players and just fling it straight at them and ruin everyone's fun.

 

[HenryChinaski]

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

I hope you're looking forward to your 'dislike' from Valley Commando. He really likes that button. It's his favouritist button of all.

 

[Reiser99]

Finally have the points lead to be comfortable to run and we don't have the players to lead it...sums it up really.

Some of these Maori players would've been binned in the NH with the new respect the ref rules,
Reminiscent of football the way they speak to the referee

 

[Bluemoon]

In fairness to Biggar, when the delivery is this slow or inaccurate, it's pretty tough to get a decent game going.

Yeah, Laidlaw has clearly been the biggest problem. I am continually amazed by how terrible he is.

Lowe won't be popular in Leinster.

SOB is leinsters chosen son.

Well one of them Leinster have a lot of sons....

Damn Catholics.

Also if he's taking offence to getting cleared out of a ruck like that he's not gonna last long up north

 

[GoTheNaki]

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

Yup. And the word on the street he is an absolute terrible player manager. He doesnt know how to speak to players of different backgrounds.

Lowe has had a pop at Furlong and SOB this game, does he not realise he's playing with them next year or is he a bit dense?

 

[Reiser99]

From the wide angle I thought there might have been an arm swinging...but without a better angle can't confirm it.

 

[HenryChinaski]

Sam Warburton is such a nice young man who I'd happily take to meet my grandmother.

Pepper - "Had a look, nothing conclusive"
Warburton - "Ah fair enough, thanks for looking"

Confirms my theory that he confused Leinster to Leicester.

A flashy foreign import not lived at Leinster? Come on!

 

[ratsapprentice]

I really hope they've been deliberately holding back.

 

[TommiG88]

That was a mauling.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

As crap as our backs play was that's a decent scoreline considering everyone said we were in for a battering
