summer rugby

You daft ****

Thats bloody dangerous bringing back smith

Go Lions – who complains about a power game. Go forwards! Davies as solid as Bod. Dream start! Spikey making a good start too. Go Lions. Plus good lineout and pass from Spikey in one move!

? Phillips needs to improve by quite a lot. Thank **** for the pack, we’d be getting stuffed otherwise.

What a half. 40 mins away.

I feel sick. Please win……

I’m in Florida will someone please tell me the score so far pleeeeease?

A lot can happen in ten minutes.

It was 19-3

It’s now 19-16 😯

EDIT: in favour of Wales & Friends 🙂

Thanks deadlydarcy. Keep the info coming please

Thanks deadlydarcy. Keep the info coming please

Pls Gatt dont panic with subs! If only Jones could play more than 55.

But Go Johnny, Go.

Keep calm guys. Close it out now.

29-16 Lions

“How many Halfpennies are there”

Great comment – he is unique but omnipresent!

57mins: TRY (SEXTON, CON HALFPENNY) – Australia 16-29 Lions

halfpenny is quite amazing, isnt he.

34-16 (halfpenny assist, north try)

Sir Leigh HalfPenny – pride of Britain. Positioning, break and of pass out of top drawer.

Just as I was scared of Sexton/Farrell switch!!

34-16!!

Now if Grey scores, Gatt will have produced a miracle!!

Forwards win matches, backs decide by how much – proven once again.

Corbs or Adam as motm. 1/2p as man of the series.

What a strong performance. Good selections, look you! 🙂

Thanks all

Great performance by the Lions and especially sweet with Horwill on the pitch.

Murray made a massive difference. Corbs and sexton were immense.
1/2p a bosher? He showed finesse aplenty for the north try!

Epic, epic, epic. Immense performance by the front row early on. Bosh game took a lot out of them all over the park and the cracks started to appear. 1/2p was flawless.

Edit: I did enjoy watching horwell playing out the last 10 mins with no hope of winning.

Oh man that was fantastic. Watched on slight delay… never laughed out loud so many times during a rugby match!
Leigh Halfpenny: what a hero. Run that ball Leigh 🙂
Proper full team performance though.

A lot of people slagged of gatland and the welsh factor. Good to see some are already singing bread of heaven.

Great game. Good to see all 23 getting a crack too. The forwards were immense. Conor Murray’s snappiness made a huge difference.

So, looks like Gatland’s ‘terrible mistake’ was not picking enough Welsh players in the 1 st two tests then?

😉

Faletau was immense, when that boy grows up he will be some player. Nice to see Davies justify his selection. A lot of ex players and press look **** stupid now.

“You just wonder if they got a lucky bag and picked some names out.
“The Lions won the first Test and made eight changes to their squad. The Wallabies won the second and probably won’t make any changes. The Lions lose by one point and there are six changes in the team and three guys on the bench who were nowhere near the team for the second Test.
“I was convinced Brian O’Driscoll should have been named as captain. It’s catastrophic leaving him out. He’s still one of the top centres in world rugby. He’s a fantastic guy and has been on four tours and knows it all inside out. It’s a massive mistake.”

Ian **** Robertson

It’s easy to slag people off in hindsight for their views and best not to bother with it to be honest.

I’m relieved for Wales & Friends – it was a fantastic performance from the whole squad to hammer the Aussies like that. The Welsh boys did themselves proud – and had that smattering of players from other nations who had living memories of beating the Aussies to convince them that it could be done.

Awesome game! 🙂

I for one enjoyed having the welsh stars on my side for the last time in four years

What a match!

It’s easy to slag people off in hindsight for their views and best not to bother with it to be honest.

no problem with people having different views but the level of vitriol from Robertson amongst others went too far imo. Wood disagreed too but didnt go as far. Make no mistake many in the press would have crucified Gatland if they’d lost.
As for that **** Barnes is commentry blaming Phillips for the try not the two blokes who missed tackle, I hope he cries himself to sleep tonight.

You didnt seem to love the welsh as much a few pages back zokes those posts look pretty stupid now and you have certainly changed your tune.

Oh cut it out FFS.

but the level of vitriol

Oh teh ironing. 😀

two great things about the lions test win…

1 – gatland will defo stay in Wales now until the world cup… WOOOHOOOO.
2 – ive cancelled sky sports so nomore dreadful barnes commentary in our house.

i dont post on this thread much as cant be done with the in fighting, lets all remember and enjoy the lions for what it was.

Number 1 will depend on nz not getting on the phone. Better cv than Henry had!

Oh cut it out FFS.

why? Hes such an easy target.

I’m also wondering where Ioum is now? His hatred of Gatland might have tipped him over the edge.

He’s probably tired of the shite that gets posted on this thread.

Here’s hoping that the 2013-14 winter thread is a little more civil than this one has been-it’s turned into a soccer ball level insultfest at times.
