Only when it comes to abysmal referees.
Dickson will do that
The Russell of a few years ago might have passed that to Conan, who would have ran down a blind alley with no support and probably got turned over. Instead he realises that's a no-go, goes back into traffic, gives it to Ryan who makes a few yards instead. By this time, Keenan's back over with Conan and uses him to get around Ikitau.
I was with ROG though in comms, a drop goal was probably the most sensible option 15-20m out, but Russell didn't look interested. I can't remember him ever hitting a dropper tbh.

Looks like Haskell's week in Turkey is now bearing fruits up top.
Not one of my favourite rugby channels. Don't mind Tindall but Hask always talks like he's just done a few lines of coke. Not as bad as Squidge's brother mind who's proper annoying.
Same*, but it's not a skill many FHs have in the locker these days - or a set-up that many teams practice.
Aside from George Ford, I'd be surprised if any current player has hit more than 10 in their entire career.
It's almost seen as giving up on a "better" score.
As unreal and ridiculous the reaction from Aussie media and pundits has been it’s totally unsurprising.
Forget the multiple offsides in the build up to the try, previous attacks and lack of a scrum penalty.
It was the right result in the end.

I mean I don’t feel the Aussie press are unjustified in their reaction
Like let’s be real any nation would have a similar reaction, it’s the biggest rugby event in Aus for years
Yeah it might be over the top but I think it’s unfair to look down. He who casts the stale crumpet

Yeah, seen and probably been involved in way less justified crashouts. Sheehan's try is a bit much but Morgan is borderline, right side of borderline imo but borderline.
Anyway, onto next week:
Porter, Sheehan (c), Furlong, Ryan, McCarthy, Beirne, VdF, Conan, JGP, Farrell, Lowe, Osborne, Ringrose, Keenan
Kelleher, Smellis, Clarkson, Beirne, Pollock, White, Russell, Kinghorn
It's quite simply, the right thing to do.

That's a new phrase to me. Is it a Barry Trotter thing? That wizard kid

Jobs for the boys. Test caps for the boys including ma boy. May as well make the English, Scots and Morgan fly in economy on the way back from Sydney as the crowning turd in the waterpipe.

Without Aki I think that team lacks balance.
Yeah, without Aki who's gonna knock on repeatedly and miss a load of tackles?
Farrell
Farrell hate has jumped the shark when his handling is being compared to Aki
Its a state of mind.

If a Lions fly half has not been practicing drop goals then thats a dereliction of duty. I dont fancy Bundee Aki having to step up with the drop like Guscott did in 1997.
