from the previous thread

>Halfpenny - 4/10
goalkicking was fine and fielded a couple of tricky kicks but offered nothing in attack and was caught out badly in defense for the decisive try (had the same thing happened to Hogg way more people would have complained about it)
>Nowell - 3/10
gets a sympathy point for managing to get Ioane into touch but apart from that got owned by him all game. Has lots of >heart but not quite enough speed
>Payne - 4/10
defense was decent but limited in attack. Should have scored that try
>Henshaw - 4/10
didn't do anything shockingly bad but didn't provide any energy or unpredictability to a backline that badly needed it either
>Daly - 4/10
didn't see the ball much and didn't utilize his pace to provide a decent kick chase
>Biggar - 6/10
looked pretty decent until he came off with a cuntcushion. Certainly made to look even better by what Sexton subsequently produced. The Lions were never able to really control the game at any point after he went off
>Webb - 5/10
decent quick passing and directed the forwards well but his kicking was aimless and gave the Blues lots of attacking ball
>McGrath - 7/10
carried and scrummaged strongly
>Owens - 6/10
aggressive at the breakdown and carried well. Lineout was a bit shit but not sure it was wholly down to him
>Cole - 6/10
busy in defense and hit rucks hard
>Itoje - 7/10
Lions strongest player at the breakdown and extremely aggressive in defense. Discipline was a problem
>Lawes - 8/10 MOTM
only Lions player consistently good in the lineout, defended well and carried well
>Haskell - 4/10
only Lions forward who was mostly pretty shit but still had a couple of decent hits and carries
>Blue Hat - 6/10
looked good in the loose and made his tackles but faded out of the game as it became more of an arm wrestle. Surprisingly shit at winning turnovers
>Stander - 6/10
Carried okay and was busy but looks noticably tired and slow compared to his 6N form

>>76384389

>>76384389
The quality of it was alright, but seeing the poms and paddies lose made it way better

>>76384389

>>76384389
Loins outplayed. Loins tight forwards were decent, save for a few discipline problems. But backs were extremely poor and loosies were mostly anonymous.

No HEEMs yet. 0/10 tour so far. 2013 was far better.

To be fair, England trounced the Crusaders a few years back and they were second that year. The same can't be said of Wales last year, gettng mullered by the Chiefs.

Having 15 or however many Welsh in the squad rather than a few more Irish or even Scots will be the downfall of the team.

He was pretty anonymous in the first match tbqh.

>>76390837
Is he really the Captain though? Really??

Why is one of the positions in this game just called "8?" Did they run out of names because there's too many fucking positions?

>>76390918
I seriously doubt it, he's probably 'captain' because he speaks well in press stuff. Gatland has padded his career so much.

Loins fans really aren't realising just how much the ABs are better than the SR franchises yet. This should be great.

Dare I say that there is to much Welsh influence? Especially what happened with the Chiefs last year?

An English posted about it earlier, and I would be willing to agree that there should have been less Welsh present. But, Gatland only knows welsh and welsh ball since he taught it.

>>76390935
there are also positions 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,9,10,11,12,13,14,15

I can't think of any other reason to watch them. Though it's getting a bit sad at this stage, I might just end up supporting the Lions out of pity.

Is there a more overrated man on the tour than Robbie Henshaw? He's fucking gash.

Poundland Jamie Roberts

>>76392154
Moriarty
Halfpenny
Maybe Sexton considering how shit he's been over the last few months

>>76392154
He's a better 13

He's wasted at 12

>>76392175

Halfpenny and Sexton have at least been good test level players at some point in their career.

Moriarty isn't overrated because nobody thinks he'll make the tests.

Henshaw is many peoples starting centre but he's a fucking shitter who should be bottom of the pecking order with the exception of maybe Payne.

31KB, 237x284px

>>76392247
Moriarty is overrated by the worst possible person. He shouldn't even be on the tour.

The only games worth watching are the lions "warm up" games because they are the only ones they have a chance of making close and the first test because you need to know how badly the AB'S push their shit in.

In a months time what's the bet they still go on about jet lag but add in that the schedule was tough.

Honestly in the modern era when you know exactly what you are doing over a year before you should be prepared and neither of those should be an excuse. Bad preparation is not an excuse.

>>76391551
It takes one day per hour of time difference to get over jet lag, so Lions have only been able to train and practice at optimum capacity for three days.

>>76392460

I said he was lucky to tour but he was one of our best players on Saturday

>>76392465
At least a smashing from the all blacks will expose gatland. As a wales fan we need him and howley to fuck off before the next world cup.

>>76392477
What about the month before they left?
1 month (let's be a bit more real and say 3 weeks) of practice as a team (a couple players missing for finals ect) + a couple days jet lagged still doing practice and stuff as a team + a couple days practicing as a full strength team.
Or are you saying they just fucked around and are unprepared for a tour to NZ which is not an excuse?

>>76392699
I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions boyo.

>>76392699
full squad didn't meet up until after all the league semi finals/finals here, 3 weeks is all in your head

>>76392751
Well given a weakened Chiefs side smashed a Wales side that had less players missing than the Chiefs did. I would say they are pretty prepared given that they narrowly lost to a full strength blues side with a side that isn't their full strength test side.

So no I don't think preparation or jet lag are the problem but more underestimating the strength of NZ super rugby sides. The Crusaders will give them a run for their money and would be their best chance to test a full strength test side vs the closest representation of the All Blacks. So I do expect the Lions to win this weekend. They should beat every other super rugby sides as they will be gutted and a lot of them have key players injured.

The Blues loss was underestimation, the close game with the barbars was jet lag but no one disputed that.
>>76392804

We like rugby and it is our most popular sport to watch and play. Pretty much everyone starts sport playing rugby then moves to other sports.
This just isn't the case in almost every other country even if they have a larger player pool than us.

We like watching rugby so we have more established competition at almost every level that is as you have seen very competitive with other nations even though they only play at a domestic level.

We care so much that rugby couldn't help but thrive here.

Fuck this man, how you puttin Jordie fucking Jordie over Mckenzie. Beudens clearly got some a1 dick sucking to get his brother on that starting line up. I'm so fucking salty rn.

I just looked up the comparison in stats this super rugby season using this site

Mckenzie has him beat out right. 48 tackles made for Mckenzie and 32 for Barrett. They've also missed the same amount of tackles and between the two of them tackles 1 on 1between Mckenzie and Barrett, Mckenzie has one 4/4. Fuck me up the arse and call me daisy. So fucking salty Plus Mckenzie has a great kick far better than Barretts household. URGHHHHH The saltiness rn.

Hope he tackles him like Nadolo and steps him like a bitch.

Seriously though >implying stats are everything. To be fair most those stats are half a dozen to one and 6 to the other. Plus those handling errors are extremely high for a fullback to the point of being unacceptable 2bh. Turnovers are pretty terrible for your boy too.

Jordie's chemistry with his brother is also unbeatable, you can't substitute that with stats.

>Joel Monaghan's lewd act
Late in the 2010 season, Canberra, NSW and Australian winger Joel Monaghan quit the NRL after a photo of him simulating a lewd act with a dog during Mad Monday celebrations appeared on Twitter.

Monaghan made an emotional apology at a press conference where he announced he had sought and been granted a release from the Raiders.

"I don't want to damage this great club anymore because of this stupid prank," Monaghan said.

"They're my actions and I'm totally responsible.

"I'll have to handle the jokes and taunts which is understandable, but the players shouldn't have to put up with pressure that my ongoing presence will bring.

"Alcohol is no excuse. I'd love more than anything to take it back but I can't."

Reminder that European "pro" rugby is literally a retirement home for NZ players, where they can have a few easy games and earn ridiculous amounts, simply because they're kiwis.

Reminder that the Lions will not win a single game versus NZ in 2017; in fact, they'll probably lose against Super teams too.

Reminder that the average British rugby fan DESPISES New Zealand based solely on the decades of embarrassing defeats at the hands of the All Blacks.

Reminder that the entire British Isles is so lacking in coaching knowledge that they are forced to recruit SH coaches just to keep up with the SH.

Reminder beating the All Blacks in a demonstration match was the greatest moment in Irish sporting, and possibly national, history.

Reminder that England performed so poorly at their own Rugby World Cup in 2015 that they have been an international laughing stock ever since.

Reminder that England have dodged back-to-back champions NZ since then, yet the average English fan will tell you they are currently world #1. Were they to play right now on neutral ground, England would get done by 30 points.

>>76407478

Manawatu has only been a Division one province for a handful of years but they've had the likes of Cruden, Nugget and one Fijian back I think.
