Hill's offload to Adams for one of his tries was straight out of Squide's preview of the tour.

How does he get away with this shit, time and time again. Farrell looked lost. No better than 4/10. He really is turning into a discredited troll.
Im convinced its a trolling act..he reacts furiously to criticism on social media so is probaly just doubling down in order to annoy people.
It actually gets worse on closer reading:

On Farrell- excellent to see him revelling in it, playing accurately and for the team

On Watson - we will have to wait for another day and a heavier match to make judgment on him

On Hill - extremely prominent, stayed through to the end and created a late try

Also, if the test team were picked today Hill would start

Could see the moment got to AJ Jacobs. He is normally much stricter in CC rugby. He let the BIL got away with murder.

Saffa commentary gave MOTM to Watson. We put value on that kind of performance.

Elsewhere the award would probably have gone to the winger with the 4 tries.

Some odd reffing yesterday. Saffer prop was throwing himself on his face regularly, offside line barely policed.
And are there two g’s in Bugger Off?

Yup he missed a few high tackles and players coming into the ruck at the side. Lions will have to be careful.

Perfect tackle. Great form, never took him past 90, landed safely and knocked him back several yards.

Lifting the elbow like that is adding a layer of risk but eh
