Blues v BI Lions

mariner4life

Couple of big names for the Blues have started very well

No Quarter

Lions have done their homework on the Blues maul...

antipodean

Does anyone stay on their feet at rucks anymore? Lions just diving through.

MiketheSnow

Come on ref. Lazy fucking runners

Crash

@antipodean Common occurrence in the NH

No Quarter

Yup, saw that coming.

Crash

Yep the only way they'll score tries.....

Take the patch off, everyone does it. That's why it was one of the annoyances in the laws thread.

antipodean

How many times does that maul get to go nowhere?

Donsteppa

Blues tight forwards seem to want one of their mates to get stuck in and push back on the maul... as long as it's someone else.

antipodean

Parsons monstered by a halfback.

Scrafton with tits for hands.

Crash

Blues seem to be allowing the Lions to dictate the pace of the game...c'mon Blues pick up the pace, that'll stretch them

MiketheSnow

Tipuric and Itoje the pick of the forwards, but the whole pack going well.

Haskell lucky to get away with detatching from the maul in lead up to try.

MiketheSnow

Webb very firmly in pole position. Murray needs a big game on Saturday.

Biggar not doing Henshaw and Payne any favours.

KiwiMurph

Duffie not playing too well.

Tim

Blues making a lot of errors.

Donsteppa

NZ Barbarians looked better organised than the Blues.

As opposed to Warran Gatland who has clearly never changed a game plan in 15 years for fear of causing confusion.

Crucial

This ref crew ignoring players being taken out and held away from the ball.

This ref crew ignoring players being taken out and held away from the ball.

Both ways

No Quarter

Ref is taking the piss with that call, either that's a tackle or it's a maul that the Lions pulled down.
