Modern rugby, old fella. None of this 45 degree raked backline these days.
Nah, I took it back and replayed in slow motion. Lions got bloody lucky.

Genge has always had the bullocking running, but his scrummaging has really improved

Argies are doing all they can to earn a Lions tour, aren't they?

Hansen twice passed the ball miles backwards without having interested a defender on that short side. Pointless.

Lions forcing the offloads like there's 14 seconds left, not 14 minutes.

Bit mad. Feels like everyone is just trying a bit too hard to impress, or they had too much fizzy pop with their tea.

Pretty sure even this early in the tour most of the England players on show today have solidified their spot in the dirt trackers

Don’t want to be too controversial early in the tour, but I still maintain England are not a good team and far too many players have media smoke blown up their arse

Was he an injury replacement? Would be ironic if he were replaced by Darcy.
It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

Kinghorn was subbed off at 57 minutes tonight holding a heavily strapped hamstring :-(
