dogmc Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Scotland knew it... [emoji185] Indeed. It's unforgivable to not be aware of laws especially on a lions tour. These are full time pros not under 13s. It's a small example of how slipshod this tour has been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogmc Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 It has always happened. Andy Nicol became a Lion by going on holiday at an opportune time. I think players realise the situation and know they can get a shirt if they grab the chance. True but the coach didn't come out n tell press he was only there to carry the cones. He was properly integrated into the lions squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They literally had no scrumhalves left for the Third Test, and he sat on the bench with them having no intention of putting him on unless there was an injury. These guys are getting called up before the first Test - at that point it should be the next best, not the next nearest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's thoroughly turgid stuff. Trying to kick the Maori into submission....might work against a scratch team but not nz. Ooh this could be a red for the Maori lad.

I think it's probably right - he shouldn't be punished for the fact Halfpenny was falling, it was a yellow card offence for a no arms hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swinson got a red for very similar end of last season. Reckon on balance ref is about right here but right on border of red n yellow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
