Warm Up Match 7: Hurricanes v British & Irish Lions (Wellington)

[TRF_Olyy]

Be some pretty quiet lions supporters in here shortly.

Why? We're not fairweather fans

You see, I should feel resentful for that high shot on Jordie, but I don't. In the end, it may have just been the exact same situation, but that tip tackle on BOD was aggravated by unlucky circumstances. Let the players or the institutions sort that out.

Are you seriously comparing a that to what Umaga did?

I mean can you really not see the difference.


Have you even seen the BOd Umaga thing?

Why? We're not fairweather fans

Quite the opposite - when the weather's fair, several of us are out doing family stuff; it's the **** poor weather (or prices to pay later) that sits us in front of the telly.

That's the real reason that there's so many more B&I fans on these boards than any other nationality.

Gatland has become a caricature of himself, it's hilarious to watch!

You cannot compare the Henderson tackle in this game to the Umaga/Mealamu tackle ..... are you old enough to remember it ?

That's a tip tackle at the end of the day, his legs went above his shoulders. Anything could happen even if there is no malice or bad intention.

What I like about this lions is
1) We win great
2) we lose I get to bash Gatland

Win win for me.

 

[GoTheNaki]

He KICKED IT WITH HIS FEET???? HOW is that a KNOCKON?

 

[Truth]

IMO Poite has made a few mistakes today, but none of them result-affecting; and there are very few players out there who've made fewer mistakes over the 72 mintues (despite fewer opportunities)

Believe me, Im not complaining.

 

[Skylinerd1]

Yes you are.

 

[Truth]

Laumape might have just cost the Canes the game here.

 

[GoTheNaki]

A neck roll... I dont see him rolling for this neck roll?

im leaving this becuase I can't see how the hell you can compare the two. I mean you know there is a difference between ABH and GBH?

 

[Maverick1987]

Yes you are.

You are an idiot . You are only on here to attempt to cause arguments ....

 

[ncurd]

Yes you are.

Some us are also at work and really shouldn't be reading a forum to see how the game is going....

It's 10:30 in the morning on a tuesday!

I'm holding my ground. It could have been much worse if Henderson had been unlucky to lift Jordie even higher.

 

[TommiG88]

Laidlaw is **** **** ****.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

So Cory Thrill and the gang won't get to play, feel bad for Scotland man, they had to lose to Fiji.

 

[Truth]

Whew good work Lousi

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Yes you are.

TBH looking at NZ crowds I suspect that the majoirty of you are.


Your supporters are as quiet as a mouse.
