I was idly musing, if you were a Lion, would you rather miss this one for fear of injury? Perhaps that says too much about me.

Nope, could just as easy get injured training, if selected...play,

True about training but playing in this match increases the risk. Of course you play if you're selected, I was simply wondering what might be a little thought at the back of some players' minds. You might say that if they think like that they shouldn't be there.

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

Japan had a massive overlap there

AWJ crocked?

The Channel 4 commentator isn't much use - keeps mistaking Beirne for Tipuric.

And then the captain is down

Well there you go then.

That looked broken

Yeah definitely not a healthy looking wrist. Be surprised if he's not gooooonnneee.

Both wings have been narrow. It that instance it was a 5v3 so he had to come in. He isn't the best defender but he did the right thing there.

He defended that massive overlap well there too.

Looks a sore one for AWJ.

Not sure all this attempting to hold up in the maul will be as effective against the Saffas, though it'll certainly work against Japan.

Comment was written about the first couple of times Matsushima made a lot of ground down that wing.

Completely missed that this was on. Come on you little Japanese heroes!

Posted: **Sat Jun 26, 2021 2:17 pm**

Tthat was a great line from Aki and a good finish from Adams

Posted: **Sat Jun 26, 2021 2:18 pm**

That's some finish from Adams. Had plenty to do in a tight space.

Yes the 1st time he gained ground was a 5v3 where the 10 thre a miss pass taking out 3 of his own team . Bierne Henshaw and and VdM were numbered up correctly. VdM then cane across and used the touchline as a defender. The second time it was 7 on 3.

Good finish by Adams there.

Football commentator on safari. Heaslip isn't great either.

VDM couldn't look much more South African if he tried.

Biggar reinforcing he is in pole position for the test jersey. Doesn't do a lot wrong and does a fair bit well.

He’s had a very good first quarter, very smart player.

I just wish he’d stop moaning his puss off at the ref.
