Yeah my opinion of breadman has gone down a bit since this. His only real justification for swapping one of the best forwards on Saturday for one that's underperformed this tour is: well he's my bud isn't it
Do you need more than a day or two’s training to understand Gatland’s plan for the attack?
The irony of wanting to swap Curry for a walking red card with discipline as the justification
Mish is going to be on best behaviour now, he knows he's being watched.
New back 3?
Very predictable, SA media says lions success all down to the SA player in the Lions. He had a good game but that article is laughable. Itoje and Lawes were the 2 most responsible for diffusing the SA "bomb squad". Besides passing mention of other players, and no mention of the MOTM or the other top contenders for it, it acts like he alone won the game for the Lions.
Can’t we just leave Faz and Daly there to find some form, parachute the other boys home then at least others will only have half a broken lions hang over, for the foreseeable.The irony of wanting to swap Curry for a walking red card with discipline as the justification
Hope that does happen though,
Less likely to be injured which suits me down to a tee
My opinion of all of the pundits has fallen as 90% of them simply push on nationalistic grounds. They alll just sound like rabid supporters without a pint. I thought Warburton was a bit above it but he has fallen to the level of BOD and ROG (almost) Which is pretty bad. I think that the Lions as an ongoing concept has every chance of failing if nationalism sets in as it did in Scotland last time and Wales and Ireland this time fuelled by pundits trying to get speaking engagements.
Did you idolise/believe in the pundits when your opinion of them was still +90% ? It represents a big loss. Triggers my greed indicators.
And the Guardian, Telegraph, Independent, Mirror and Mail. Wouldn't be the worst decision, if true.
Its a pretty bad one, Mako came of a bench and played pretty well and deserves to keep his place for it but he's been such a problem for so long now that he can't trusted with a start.
There's also a huge difference for a dodgy prop, between holding your own for 20 minutes, as opposed to holding your own for 60.
I don't think anyone denies Gatland is a good coach, it's impossible and in terms of longevity he's one of the best ever but his peaks weren't as high as his peers. If you look at what he achieved with Wales once Joe Schmidt and then Jones arrived it's pretty poor.
And anyone who thinks the Boks aren’t going to come out all guns blazing, especially in the tight which is pretty much a source of national identity, is a fool.
