Another arm/wrist?
Not sure. I thought he was hobbling.
Just as well I'm not a medic.

To be fair he might just walk that way!

Biggar got run over - dirt tracker for sure...

Bit of a soulless game, this one. Hope there's no more injuries, it's already been a bit of a disaster.

Surely that was a free kick to Japan, there was no strike.

Murrays service is a bit shit

Posted: **Sat Jun 26, 2021 2:43 pm**

Could've done Aki for the neck roll or VDM holding on there.

Posted: **Sat Jun 26, 2021 2:44 pm**

Would be nice for the commentators to get the players names right occasionally.

Some of the Lions players look like they are blowing out their arse

Posted: **Sat Jun 26, 2021 2:45 pm**

Murray hasn't been too great today. Although Faletau should be there too that is Murrays man.

Was just thinking if I was Sutherland I'd be hating my 1st game since March being v Japan.

Faletau looks gassed already which is weird.

Largely some decent performances here against a very committed but underpowered and somewhat disorganised team. Happy with how most players are going, Murray aside. Would like to see more of the front five carrying perhaps.

A lot of them won't have had a game in a while. Training can only keep you so sharp.

Easily the worst Lion on show so far

Haha crowd booing because they've closed the bars.

Heaslip with a touch of the Ron Atkinsons there

Posted: **Sat Jun 26, 2021 2:53 pm**

Scrappy first half predictably, cant see any discernable game plan however. Biggar really standing out, Murray really not, the rest a bit meh.

Posted: **Sat Jun 26, 2021 2:56 pm**

If its a dislocated shoulder then its tour over for AWJ

Posted: **Sat Jun 26, 2021 2:59 pm**

Playing without a 7 means a slower game from the Lions, and with Murray playing like this there is no pace at all. Henshaw has been good when the ball has come his way

Gray to get a call up and Farrell to Captain.

Lets hope the entire tour isn't over.

Posted: **Sat Jun 26, 2021 3:03 pm**

Thought it looked like a broken wrist for AWJ.
Really gutting - should have been captain 4 years ago, and now he's not even going to captain a test.

Really got to feel for the guy. Hope it's not over for him, but not looking good.

Posted: **Sat Jun 26, 2021 3:04 pm**

If he cant play, keep him on tour as tour captain

Yes hopefully not.

The ref is kak. Can't they at least get a decent one

Posted: **Sat Jun 26, 2021 3:13 pm**

Dropped it

Posted: **Sat Jun 26, 2021 3:14 pm**

No try

Posted: **Sat Jun 26, 2021 3:15 pm**

On the first angle it doesn't look like it's ever disconnected from him, in which case he can re-gather to place?

Posted: **Sat Jun 26, 2021 3:17 pm**

Great try.

Posted: **Sat Jun 26, 2021 3:17 pm**

It was all very laboured until that last pass by Biggar

Posted: **Sat Jun 26, 2021 3:17 pm**

Nice run there!

Posted: **Sat Jun 26, 2021 3:18 pm**

Murray has become very ponderous at the ruck.

Nice turn of pace there from Beirne.

I thought he played it perfectly, he used the touchline as a defender and backed his own pace to catch his man, which he dd

Stick with the narrative. The best tackling wing in the 6N is a poor defender.

Posted: **Sat Jun 26, 2021 3:19 pm**

Nice to see the pure joy on Beirne's face as he scored that.

Yep, but with a grumpier expression and a slightly thicker neck.
