Off Topic Ospreys, Wales & BIL

If we could see it, why couldn’t Warren? Probably listened too much to Townsend ….
Next week, Warren has to be true to himself

 

That's the thing, we were lucky to win last week and Gats hasn't seen that, he's said same again. The Boks have seen that and have upped their game.

 

Many a Lions’ Tour has been ruined by selection politics….

 

I'm going to disagree and say it's made no difference. The ref was excellent.

Now has Gats got the balls to make big changes? I doubt it.

 

We will have to agree to disagree!

Every 50:50 went green not red. Kolbe could well have seen red and Faf yellow.

Poor bloody Dan Evans saw red after 30 seconds for something not really worse than Kolbe’s challenge.

Why was only one angle shown when Faf tackled Murray?

Fine margins - they helped build Bokke confidence and momentum.

 

The concern now is Townsend could well Coach the next Lions tour…..

 

Williams
Watson (I’d prefer LRZ but Gats won’t pick him)
Harris
Henshaw
Adams
Smith
Murray

Wyn Jones
George
Furlong
Beard
AWJ
Itoje
Faletau
Curry

 

I found it baffling to pick Hogg and that Saffer donkey on the wing and then kick up and unders all day while Sanjay and Adams watch from the stands……

The Lions back line looks like it could play until Christmas and still not score ….

 

I would change the complete back 3. Sutherland to be replaced and it's a good shout to move Itoje to the back row but I can't see it happening.

 

Can you remember a more inept and impotent Lions’ back division?

I would also change the entire Back 3 but I think that Gats really rates Watson.

As for Hogg, the phrase ‘flat-track bully’ springs to mind ….. His strength is attacking, yet this game plan doesn’t use the backs in that way, whilst his defensive qualities have always been suspect.

 

So much for Townsend’s attack coaching ….

 

Just for Taff

 

I’d pick them all - they can’t do any worse than the sh*t-show we’ve seen from the back 3 selected in the first 2 Tests

 

Good to see the father of the Welsh football captain in a Lions jersey

 

I must admit it's difficult to disagree with this tweet I saw tonight

 

Now I was told off on this Board for suggesting that Tosh’s 1981 team would beat the current side, despite the fact that they are all now in their 60s or 70s …..

 

Gatland has agreed that Stuart Hogg can leave the Lions’ bubble ….. on the basis that he won’t catch anything ….

 

He’s ****ing useless.

 

The Touch Judge wanted it reviewed, the South African TMO said nothing to see here: the ref didn’t want to rock the boat?

 

Itoje won't play Saturday. He'll get a lengthy pan for kneeing on the throat.
