    Wonder if Laumape on the bench prompted starting Sexton? I was looking forward to Ngani running at him late on.

    Anyway we end up with SBW running at him whilst Te'o and Laumape get to cancel each other when they get on.

      That's a very short lineout. The loose forwards are about 1.88 to 1.92 m. Itoje is 1.95m, and AWJ is 1.96m.

            @jegga maybe he's blaming the loss on him for failing to pass with a big overlap?

            Lucky they had advantage on that play too, cos otherwise he shoulda been pinged for pulling the ball back into the ruck when Owen Franks was standing over him.

                @taniwharugby probably, he's pretty good at blaming everyone but himself.

                  Spotted while out for dinner in Crete, I felt an instant sense of relief about this weekends result, it's gotta be a sign.

                              Interesting changes.

                              Arguably we've lost a little bit of finesse, but added a bit of power, while the Lions seem to have gone the other way - lost a bit of power, but maybe a bit more finesse?

                              I'm both excited and nervous at the pairing of Ioane and Naholo on the wings. Two power wingers hasn't always worked out for us as well as I've expected - e.g. Rok and Sivi in Cardiff and Savea and Naholo in Chicago.

                                It was bloody annoying at the ground, stupid song. But complaining about it is ridiculous

                                The most well received song was Fred Daggs Gumboot song, felt like all 45,000 were belting that one out.

                                    Fuck yes, I wish they wouldn't play any music at all. Creates so much more tension that way - every break in play during an intense game is when the crowd is meant to start yelling at the players and referee, but they blast out fucking mindless pop music usually that ruins the atmosphere.

                                    If they were playing music when the Lions were lining up penalties then they should be called on that. Non-story but I don't mind the Lions questioning the NZRU over it.

                                      Apparently sitting there asking if they play rugby commentary in between songs at a rock concert makes me sound like a grumpy old fluffybunny. No one has actually said they disagree with me though .
