The Rugby Thread

Bloody hell, bit harsh to judge Farrell on that one kick. He is normally very accurate. And he made a difference when he came on. I'm saying this as someone who thinks Farrell is a **** by the way.

 

[talkshowhost86]

He'll start and goalkicking will play a big part of that decision. Especially long range. Not that that one from Farrel was long range.

I don't think it's a good idea to play the worst player in the squad because Farrell missed one kick.

Anyway...this is an error strewn nonsense. I hope it's just jet lag.

I'm not. Farell starts all day for me. It's more Halfpenny over Hogg isn't it. I think Halfpenny will be goal kicker though. Could be wrong but his experience will come into it as well.

I'm not. He's on good form at the moment. But kicks like that are bread and butter but every player has shown rustiness.

Blimey this ref likes a Baa Baa for penalty doesn't he?

 

[E17yid]

Squeaky bum time.

 

[E17yid]

Well in Mako.

 

[E17yid]

Get in boys.

The All Blacks will be shitting it.

Halfpenny the worst player in the squad?

That, too, is errant nonsense.

Anyway, this performance has been piss poor.

 

[talkshowhost86]

Crap end to a fairly crap game.

Hope they wake up by Wednesday otherwise the Blues will have a field day....and they are the worst of the provincial teams!

Can't think who in this Lions squad has been less effective in the last 12 months.

Suggest you take another look at the squad then!

Seen it plenty.

Every other player has contributed for club and country to varying degrees.

Halfpenny has done neither.

Positives from today were Faletau, The Sink, Te'o and Kruis when he came on.

 

[E17yid]

Let's have a look at the Itoje Kruis combo on Wednesday. Also like to see Stander and Tipuric at 6 and 7.

I think we should play Te-o again. See if he can maintain this form, very good from him today.

Need to beast them in training next week.

Who's going to play 8 when Faletau isn't playing? We're really short in that department.

I'm looking forward to seeing Daly in the team as well.

Moriarty.

Yeah, give Daly a run out too.

Just one thing on Halfpenny this season. You do realise he's missed over a year of rugby don't you?

Well you're wrong about Halfpenny, and that's a fact. It's not up for debate.

Exactly. And wasn't playing well before that. So why is he there?

 

[E17yid]

Exactly. And wasn't playing well before that. So why is he there?

Here's here because he's a world class player. Form is temporary etc etc

Was he bad for Toulon in2014-2015?

 

[mpickard2087]

Pretty terrible opener. Going to have get much better very quickly.
