Combined NSW-Queensland Country XV vs. British and Irish Lions (11/6/13)

[Big Ewis]

that North try was ridiculous...I mean, it looked like a practice sequence and yet it's an actual match...how terrible is this Aussie team ?! Not to discredit the Lions' dominance, but 6 tries ?!! :rofl:

 

[Aristodemus]

Is that harsh saying they have been poor?
and yes Yoe, it is a very poor team.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

It's harsh saying Roberts couldn't play worse when the only really bad thing he's done is fumble in contact once.

right...Lions REALLY needed that 7th try for the moral....how in the world will they get through that 2nd half psychologically ?!!

 

[TRF Mr Fish]

How has Maitland gone? Thought this was on tomorrow

Good training run as pretty one sided contest but the Lions are not doing anything bad and that has to be a good thing.....their perception, handling, thought and game plan are all first rate which will stand them in good stead for tougher game.

Impressed with Murray (especially box kicking although still 3rd choice to me), Cuthbert and Hibbard.....BOD, SOB, Heaslip doing what they always do and 2nd row OK but not outstanding....good run out for Corbs to get him used to 'Stralia.

Perhaps only slight negative has been Roberts who has lost the ball a few times and not really off loaded when he could have but has probably done his best work as a decoy!!

I suspect the bench will empty shortly after half time and be interesting to see whether they continue with the intensity and accuracy show hitherto.....

It's not about that, it's more like: if we can't secure our own ball in this game, how are we gonna do it vs the Wallabies?

Decently enough - had a kick charged down about 5m from our line, but other than that has gone well. Had a big part in one of North's tries (1-2-1 passing/running down the wing with him)

 

[TRF Mr Fish]

Halfpenny on for North - looked like North had a bit of a ****le at the end of the first half.

There have been a huge number of 'flat' passes! Not to mention all the knock ons...

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Terrible handling this half, so far.

 

[Aristodemus]

Hot potato this half

 

[Big Ewis]

errr yeh, the Aussies might as well use their backs in that scrum, no difference basically.

It's not about that, it's more like: if we can't secure our own ball in this game, how are we gonna do it vs the Wallabies?

duuuude, I'm just kidding. I won't be srs the whole way for such a match !!

 

[Big Ewis]

I have a very deep, almost philosophical question to ask....

CAN the Lions make it to triple digits ?....*hand on chin, contracts eyes*

 

[TRF Mr Fish]

Nope, not any more I wouldn't imagine.

 

[Big Ewis]

Nope, not any more I wouldn't imagine.

mmmm well, half way there...

 

[TRF_Olyy]

More poor lineout work.
Tom Youngs has probably been the best thrower so far which is....disconcerting.

What is going on, this second half has been shocking.
