I thought Hogg was really good when he came on. Nowell was too easy for Quinn's to play against. Just watched the Lions game. DVM getting some amount of stick from the commentators, for no real reason I can see. They actually blamed him for a knock on that was clearly Liam Williams. I also thought the drop off in quality between the starting and the finishing front row was quite something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thereisalight.. Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 I went along to Murrayfield today as my friend had a spare ticket. Thought it was a good 1st half but a poor Lions performance in the 2nd half. I'd never been to a game before so was shocked at how lax it was compared to football grounds as in being allowed plastic bottles, coupios amounts of booze etc. Our tickets were in E10 and were £145 thankfully I got it as a freebie! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveThePirate Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Adam Beard and Josh Navidi called up for the Lions. I had Navidi in the original squad but Beard over Gray and Ryan seems bizarre at best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny how the Irish commentators today focused on VDM having a bad game, but if you read the Welsh or English press they are all giving VDM a good rating and absolutely hammering Murray. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snobot Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 It's a very particular state of mind that decides Adam Beard is worthier of Lions selection than Jonny Gray and James Ryan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Bad news for the journalists going out to cover the Lions Tour. For 4 of the 6 weeks that they will be in SA the Lions will be based in Gauteng province, which is now accounting for 60% of the new Covid cases in the country. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it's not this guy C4 have, he's absolutely brutal. Heaslip is a fucking pain in the arse as well - he's absolutely desperate to criticise Duhan, despite him literally doing nothing wrong so far. Your pal from the weekend Conor McNamara has just confirmed that he’s Sky’s lead commentator for the Tour. No doubt with a little Heaslip on the side as well for good measure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
