|
|
By:
21 points from penalties and a few more missed says it all really. without the silly penalties the Lions would have won comfortably.

Yeehaa !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When they gave a yellow card to Vunipola, there was a clear kick in the head on Lions No 7 on the ground in the same replay shot! First foul should have been given. Any way the Lions have won so lets celebrate.

Coulda gone for a try there at the end,lol, but Yeehaa indeed! :) :) :)

happy !....is what I am !
|
|
By:
let's put it into context tho'
fell behind to 14 men b4 the penny dropped and we started running it to complete the comeback |
|
By:
They shouldn't even be celebrating that win
|
|
By:
^yeh, and also shows how tough the ABs are to beat, even with 14 men. Only got beat by 3 points.
|
|
By:
yup context n 14 all that,but a wins a win,3 rd should brewtallllllllll

Even when you were jumping to catch the ball from a pass that was too high? |
|
By:
^would still celebrate any win against them though :)
|

Sky team exulting as if we had the 14 men..hubris guys

very smart play imo
 |
|
By:
never in any doubt!!
 won £500 quid in that match, and now I have to go spend it on some new underpants |
|
By:
Try M&S....they are a bit cheaper
|
|
By:
anyhow..think too much is being made of the sending off
they only had to play 3/4 of the match with a man down wasn't as if he was sent off in the 1st min ffs!  |
|
By:
^ agreed, and would have been a more comfortable win for the Lions if it wasn't for all the silly penalties. Still, it made for an exciting edge-of-your=seat finish
 |
|
By:
and see the man coming so could call it very smart play.
Similar to when there is a vaguely high tackle (or a clear out for instance) that the NZ player reacts as if been shot and gets the player a yellow for nothing more than NZ - and every other team do at the clear out - perhaps? Or maybe overreacting to a borderline late tackle after a kick has gone and getting a pen when exactly the same thing happened the other way round (without the over-reaction) mins previously and thus no pen you mean - funny game rugby innit? |

Another cracking match. My rule of avoiding betting on any match officiated by a French referee was vindicated once again. I won't rest until French refs are banned from the Southern Hemisphere!! Even for holidays. The most notable aspect of the match for me was the BL defence. A step up from last week,and last week was excellent too.
|
|
By:
thought ref had a good game. He didn't go too far with the overpunishment of the Lions after the red, didn't over react to the Mako/Barrett incident (which the TMO seemed to be baying for) and reffed the breakdown and maul well. Peyper in contrast was allowing the Blacks to get away with all sorts (sacking the maul at source/ entering the ruck from anywhere)
|
|
By:
Peyper is not the reason the Lions got flogged last week.
|
|
By:
I wasn't saying that. They would have been beat last week either way, I agree. Merely stating one ref did well in comparison to a farcical ref the previous week
|
|
By:
Farcical? You're the only person I've heard say that.
|
|
By:
Must mean I'm wrong then
|
|
By:
Clearly you've been outvoted!!!

The verdict on the match is a curly one no doubt. Garces decided the winner with the red card which I have about 10% doubts. BL defence was monumental. BB two very easy shots at goal missed. BL scored two tries to zero. The final penalty decision is something that will be argued for decades. Would BL have won if 15 on 15? Highly unlikely.Did BL improve on last week? YES.
Is Owen Farrel the BIGGEST KNOBHEAD in Rugby??? YES!!! Do I sit on the edge of my chair just hoping someone will SMASH FXCK out of him? YES!!!!. Did I,and my wife,get very excited when SBW smashed him last week? YES!! |
|
By:
It's great to see the All Blacks beaten for a change and it sets up a great decider match next week. Can't wait!! Will any French CXNTTS be near a Whistle??????
|
|
By:
ABs don't like losing do they? They also don't like being reffed properly-well like everyone else anyway.
A scratch team beating the best team in the world who have home advantage. Monumental performance by the lions imo irrespective of the sending off. |
|
By:
Kamikaze SBW decided the result NOT the ref
|
|
By:
Not sure the players given the honour of playing for the British Lions would appreciate being described as a 'scratch team.'
