Was anonymous in the first half and has showed up a little better this half but still looks a shadow of the player he used to be
Watched Lions 2017 this morning and several of the 2021 vintage look old, but none so past it as Faletau
To be fair I'm sorting my kids as I watch. Will watch again later.

Have to say I agree with Big D, think he has been good this week, made quite a few yards and getting around the pitch.
To be fair no one, except Farrell, has been bad

It’s a fucking joke.
If this is the standard now, the Boks are going to be in trouble when we hit the rucks.
Glad it’s just a penalty and not a card, but it really should have been nothing.
I disagree with you Kiwi Warriors. You can’t flip a player onto his head at a ruck. Yellow for me.Blake wrote: Sat Jul 03, 2021 5:29 pmIt’s a fucking joke.

I think Adams is fuckedThe only reason it was head was because there was a boot sticking up, otherwise he lands on his back. How the fuck are you supposed to clean out someone who has their hands on the ball if you can't lift them at all in fear of doing it too well?Sandstorm wrote: Sat Jul 03, 2021 5:31 pmI disagree with you Kiwi Warriors.

Adams gets his hattrick, George misses the ball but Hill grabs it and offloads nicely
Was the 9 and it was totally over the top. You're inch away from a serious neck injury. Just wasn't necessary.JM2K6 wrote: Sat Jul 03, 2021 5:34 pmThe only reason it was head was because there was a boot sticking up, otherwise he lands on his back.

He looks like a tour player with a hangover, absolutely fucked every time he has to break into a trot and can’t wait for the final whistle

It's almost like Daly's a centre and when he doesn't have to worry about defending or the aerial aspect of a position he's been shoe-horned into he can focus on the things that make him class.
Sigma are deep in their own 22, 30 points in front ; there’s no danger to the Lions in letting him win the turnover. Brains over brawn required.JM2K6 wrote: Sat Jul 03, 2021 5:34 pm

It doesn't matter what player it was, he was trying to steal the ball in defence and was a valid target for a clean out. Nowhere near a serious neck injury and even the over officious tmo, ref, and Davies agreed...sorCrer wrote: Sat Jul 03, 2021 5:36 pmWas the 9 and it was totally over the top.

Daly having a hell of a cameo.

This is silly. No back row is going to not try and clean out a player who has his hands on the ball when you're deep in their 22 on attack and the only forward in support. The decision to clean him out was the correct one - mad to say it wasn't. The argument is over the danger level of the cleanout itself.Sandstorm wrote: Sat Jul 03, 2021 5:38 pmSigma are deep in their own 22, 30 points in front ; there’s no danger to the Lions in letting him win the turnover.

Any player who doesn't try and clean out there is gonna get dropped.
You still can't lift them over the 90. Regardless, this Lions team is a team of mostly no names.JM2K6 wrote: Sat Jul 03, 2021 5:40 pmThis is silly.
