Yeah, beating the team that's been terrorising super rugby. So shit.
is south africa no longer relevant?
>>76591472
its because everyone in /rug/ except me hates the crusaders
6th for LFWRLABM

i believe in you lad
>>76591495
Give it ten years until the last white an dies
>>76591396
All memery aside, I really like this picture.
Test team is pretty nailed on now I think
15. Halfpenny
14. Watson
13. Davies
12. Te'o
11. Williams
10. Sexton
9. Murray
1. Vunipola
2. George
3. Furlong
4. Jones
5. Kruis
6. Warburton (c)
7. SOB
8. Faletau
16. Owens
17. McGrath
18. Sinckler
19. Itoje
20. POM
21. Webb
22. Farrell
23. Daly
>>76591495
Whomst?
>>76591627
Unpopular opinion but I think Te'o is going to get exposed by the All Blacks
>>76591650
Everyone will be tbchwy (to be completely honest with you)
>>76591495
Hwæm?
>>76591650
So do I, I just said what I think Gatland will pick. He should have stuck with Henshaw at 12 or gone with Farrell.
>>76591665
>tbchwy
what did he mean by this?
>>76591689
Is that Welsh?
>>76591627
>farrell not starting
what the actual fuck are you smoking
>>76591688
He has played well in these past few matches to be fair to the lad
Not entirely convinced by the Maori All Blacks lads.
>>76591627
>no North
Gatland will pick him and you know it.
>>76591706
Sexton knows Murray and Te'o well, and Farrell can cover 12 as well. Sexton has found form too, made some good plays today. Faz has looked a bit flat.
>>76591627
Probably this, but it's a crime against
Henshaw. Unlike Te'o and JD2 he has a special weapon in his arsenal: passing.
Despite of timezone issue,
>Todos Pretos Maori
>Austrália
Only Fiji saving SH honour. If it continues, the hope of SH shall be soon in hands of Brazil, Kenya, Zimbabwe and Chile
>>76591878
My southern hemisphere was in your mums hands last night m8
>>76591627
no Biggar
I literally only want ONE thing from this Lions test and that is to see Dan Biggar kick for goal.
>>76591825
JD2 can pass fairly well, but it seemed like the centres and wingers were under orders to play cementball. North and Watson are both very good at coming off their wings to run lines off the centres/half backs, but haven't at all this tour.
The only back not called Murray or Sexton who actually passed often was Halfpenny
>>76591495
Yes. The quotas are the NOS of uMzantsi Afrika.
>>76591902
Farrell might be injured and Biggar has actually been in decent form, so you might yet see him
>>76591904
>JD2 can pass fairly well
aaaaaaahahahahahahahah
>>76591396
“I’ll let Eddie do his talking, he does plenty of it,” Gatland said.
Kek them's fighting words Warren
A summary of Australia x N. England and Todos Pretos Maori x Leões? Are results deserved?
>>76592064
He doesn't have silky hands by any stretch, but if you look at last few Pro12 games his distribution played a key part in a lot of their tries. They had much better support lines than the Lions though, especially the back 3
What if the first test is a complete blowout? All Blacks are just clinical and rip us to shreds?
I feel like our gameplan is based around bullying packs and I can't see that happening against them.
After today
Is the reign of the southern hemisphere, dare I say it, over?
>>76592143
turk you better stop this corporate shilling of scarlets I swear, but yeah him and s.williams are infinitely better for scarlets than they are for wales
Big strong Chiefs mid week lads. You're going to see some real /mana/ in action
There may not even be a Lions team left to play by the weekend.
>>76592153
It'll come down to the locks I think. Retallick and Whitelock together absolutely manshame almost all other pairings, if Kruis/AWJ/Itoje can get parity there then we have a good chance.
>Japan vs Ireland

Fuck off you dog blood scum.
>>76592963
>ywn get crocs with cheetos
Hopefully but fuck knows...
>>76592964
To reiterate, the lions are running their backup side during the week and running their main side on the important matches (i.e All Blacks soon) so people making big deals of results unless they are ridiculous scores are just typical south island brainlets or simply children.

TEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE
Think I ate a bit too much fibre lads, just did an absolutely enormous Australian rugby
*dabs on the toilet*
>Aussie rugby
Australians don't really post much on /sp/ anymore because they're so shit at every sport and shitspouter bullied them away.
What little number of them left hide in /nrl/ and /afl/
Maori All Blacks were shit. I thiught they should have started Otere Black in the 10, MemeKenzie at 15 and swapped TKB for West. Wonder if it would have made a difference.
>>76593847
it's a shame i miss the bantz.
2011 /rug/ was best /rug/
>>76593856
Their tight 5 got fucked. All of the backs were poor so I doubt it makes any difference when the forwards are complete shit.
>>76593995
The backs got no chance to do anything in that second half. They didn't get any luck with the ref, the Lions were spilling over the ball in the ruck and disorganisation alongside a few mistakes cost them.
they played shit but so did the Lions tbqh
>>76595576
so is it official that the Loins have been sandbagging so far?
>>76595604
yes and no
>>76595604
Don't know. I think they are hiding a lot of first phase/set piece plays, but I doubt they have much more to offer in sustained phase play beyond maybe more aggressive kick chases
>>76595793
>Hiding set piece plays
top kek, I remember the Micks saying the same during the WC

>Oz - Jockland
Scotland played well and defended well. Australia were let down by the halfback pairing and a lack of /heart/
>Coconut NZ vs Loins
Lions' pack was better and maoris didn't get the chance to use their ferocious big runners due to Lions' pack starving them of possession and poor distribution from le grinning kicking man.
weekly reminder that one man beat the all blacks.
>>76595879
>>76595983
Howley actually makes set piece plays quite well, Wales in the 6N had some neat ones. North's first try vs Ireland and Williams vs England in particular.

How shit are France?
holy shit
i think we're back?!
>>76598613
nfc, probably shit at their job though.
>>76598077
way France is going at the moment the quota is you have to play at least 3 white players on the field at one time
>>76598741
But there's not a single player on the French side currently.
>>76598613
Yeah, they get randomly tested all the time.

ah, ok
France are cack. Will be great knocking them out the pools in 2019.
Spedding is a secret weapon sent by South Africa to fuck us.
And they probably have secret files on Novès to blackmail him.

>>76599339
>getting big headed after beating France
embarrassing
>>76599415
quite english of us, i have to admit
Such a shame seeing what the quotas are doing to france.
>>76599386
useless, what you need to kill is all the "educators" (as they fancy to call themselves) in the centres de formations
if you kill the current gen of players, they'll just be replaced by their younger counterparts who have been taught the same shit rugby: all bosh, all clashbang, MUSCU, zero skill, zero endurance, zero offensive or defensive reading, zero tactical IQ
You know, I have myself a huge feeling of déjà-vu, as I already witnessed this trend in French basketball and football in the early/mid 00's.
The only difference is that in those sports there are shitloads of international tournaments (basketball have 1 every year, EC, WC, Olympics... football has EC and WC and qualifiers in between), so they quickly saw that this way was a complete dead-end after some abysmal displays that ended in ridiculous failures (2006-07-08 in basketball, 2008-10 in football), which allowed them to sort out their shit quickly.
How many sudokus and salt-related deaths would take place in NZ if the Loins did a Poite special (ITA v ENG meme fest) to win 2 tests?
so argentina's gonna win, yeah?
>>76600578
implying the loins have the nuance to do it.
>>76601094
Have you seen the jags play this year? They're like a U9's side.
>tfw needing to wait one entire week for next Brazil match because match scheduled for this weekend was cancelled

No deaths by salt, but there would be many dead wives I can tell you that.
Only partially joking...

How the fuck does Lavanini not have a yellow yet?
He's targetting people's knees with illegal and no arm tackles.
hello guys asdasa
>>76603913
he's a cunt, Hughes should have decked him
>>76603913
He should have gotten one there. He had to have known he'd only incur a penalty from that, and it's bordering on a deliberate attempt to injure Hughes.
Yet another no-arm tackle from Lavanini.
>>76603947
your team are a bunch of dishonorable thugs tbqh
>>76603952
>>76603968
Not only did he tackle a man at the back of a maul but that sort of tackle he did (side entry into a planted leg's knee) are potentially career ending.
He'll get a citing I reckon.
>>76604272
I hope so, like you said that could have crunched Hughes leg
>>76603968
>>76604272
>>76604307
btw Lavinini has already been suspended 4 times for dangerous charges in the last 4 years lol
It's not a new thing for him
>>76604431
Surely referees should be on the look out for it them, and start making an example of his behaviour.

Events reached a head during 2003 when for the first time in their history Wales lost every match in the Six Nations Championship and went on to record a streak of 11 consecutive Test match defeats, broken by a defeat of rugby minnows Romania on 27 August 2003, though Hansen was not the coach for this match.

England was the redemption afterwards:

>>76605743
that isn't a redemption, that's like glitter on shit
>>76605660
Even GRIGOR TOONSEND would achive the same results with Englel as the wiley gook Jones.
Second in the world is where you should be with that talent, playerbase, resources. No lower. The fact you were speaks to abysmal management. Eddie just told people to work harder and knows how to dominate young men - if you know what I mean...

Canada have a lot of problems with local rugby XV like, for example, different provinces having different season calendars. They got stagnated if compared with US of A.
>>76606200
How much could the provinces vary?

6 minutes to score 17 points at least. It's dead for Canada. Even Brazil needed 7 minutes to score 19 points to beat Portugal after unadvantage by 15.

If it were any country other than England I'd agree with you, but it's England so I have to disagree. England are terrible at team sports so they need a better starting base than other teams to be able to play on par with them.
A good coach can make a weak team punch above their weight and a strong team be among the best in the world. Jones has done both.

From unknown to lions in one day. Gatland what the fuck are you doing to my precious lions. I may live in the USA but this sport literally saved my life and I love watching it. Seeing you cheapen the lion jersey is a disgrace to not only the lions legacy but rugby in general. Honestly you can't even justify bringing those lads into the lions squad, and geography isn't a reason. Finn is the only one that belongs there out of the call ups.

Och aye the noo and top o' the morning chaps and boyos, my name is Warren O'McJones.
I’m a 27 year old American Rugger (Rugby fan for you uneducated). I watch and discuss all things Rugby on my tablet, and spend my days perfecting my knowledge and playing superior British Commonwealth games.
I train with my Gilbert every day, this superior ball can cut clean through the air because of the renowned torpedo punt kick and spiral cut-out pass techniques (which no self-respecting Lions player would ever use!), and is vastly superior to any other ball on earth. I bought my first pair of Rugby "boots" two years ago, and I have been getting better every day.
I speak British fluently, both the Queen's English and the Irish dialects as well as Norn Irish, and I write fluently as well. I know everything about Lion tour history and Gatlandball, which I follow 100%.
When I get my New Zealand visa, I am moving to attend the prestigious Lions training camp to learn more about their magnificent culture and their illustrious rivalry with New Zealand Provincial Barbarians. I hope I can earn a spot on the first test squad!
I own several novelty lion headpieces, which I wear around town. I want to get used to wearing them before I move to New Zealand, so I can fit in easier. I bow to my Welsh superiors and speak about how O'Driscoll could have DOYD as often as I can, but rarely does anyone manage to respond.
Wish me luck in Aotearoa!

>breh haven't you played in a team with guys pushing for selection for proper clubs on youth contracts? I played with a few lads who made trials for cardiff blues and they said virtually everyone is on roids before they make the senior setup.
This.
I know a few lads that were in England U16 and 18 setups, but they never progressed past semi-pro rugby because they failed to put on the size necessary for the professional game due to avoiding roids and insistiing on staying clean. You can get away without roiding at the amateur level, although t certainly helps. No way you can make it pro without a cycle or two at some point.
