So….game on. But it does take a special try like that to apply a little upward movement to the AB handbreak.
this smells like trouble. Again. The AB habit of scoring 3 econds before halftime
not this time.

Wow, what a game!
High octane stuff. Not much in it; both teams still in the contest.
Great game! I love these proper tours.
@ McLook:
apologies. I asigned the skipper’s armband to the wrong guy. Was his fellow Irishman indeed.
Summary: this is an incredibly good game of rugby. Ignoring the halftime scoreboard, one has to concede the AB’s have the slight edge. Their pressure is greater on attack and mistakes are min. The Lions are playing extremely well but not taking all the chances they are creating. Not bad mind you. But if they took them all, they’d be ahead on the scoreboard.
Anybody’s game still…
… but the All Blacks just looking like they are contantly threatening whereas the Lions seem to be playing in moments of excellence!
100 !
68: wat is EWIL ?
Wat gaan aan met die Skotte, hoe kan hul staan en verloor teen Fiji ?
Just watched that Williams induced try again. That was superbly created(from nothing) and matched by some awesome support play and finishing. We wont see too many better.

Freegin hell, our whole area (town) power is going to be out tonight from 22:00 till 07:00 tomorrow as they are going to do some major repairs / upgrades on a sub-station…. eish!

Wonder how much of that (not taking changes) is the result of lack of real belief. Lack of real belief just make you a bit more rushed: lacking composure at crucial times.
This is what AB aura do to you.
2nd Half ON!
@ McLook:
100%
I don’t know about you guys, but today is freegin, freegin cold!!!
@ Tassies:
Hahahaha I will have to tell them your ‘quip’.
what a wasted opportunity. Its what we’ve been saying. Just take the opportunities and the Lions stand a real chance. Another brilliant break started this.
Lions come close… advantage is played as the All Blacks do their traditional cynical, professional indescression, 5m from their own line… to rather concede the penalty and not the try.
Ball is kicked into the corner….
Now a %$#@$ turnover. Opportunity GONE.
The BIL back three are very very dangerous. Its just the damn finishing.
@ grootblousmile:
Lovely summers day here in England. Notice that my mate at the Lions game has posted pics of Lions supporters well wrapped up too !!
Another sea of red! I remember you said that you had never seen so much red at Loftus back in the day! 🙂
Read to Farrel: die bus is vol ! 😮
Sounds like an exciting game.
@ grootblousmile:
pretty much. I lit the fire at around 8, to prep for the game and the scrambled eggs and Kenyan roast
@ Blue Bird:
oh it is C. One of the best we’ve seen for a long time.
