Test Match 2: All Blacks v British & Irish Lions (Wellington)

[Leonormous Boozer]

What are you, fifteen years old?

Its a rivalry that goes back 39 matches and 113 years, back to a time when there was NO money in the game, NO ranking points, when the game was played purely for the love of it.

So... I wouldn't say there was a rivalry between Ireland and NZ until last November, more history. If you ask any Kiwi who they like beating the most will anyone say The Lions over SA, Australia, England or France? There's no bite to these games, they're an exhibition.

Don't think this will be a high scoring game this weather is turgid.

 

[Big_Grumper]

That fella singing the NZ national anthem is soaked! Do they not have umbrellas in Welington?

 

[Reiser99]

Ew. Gatland calling the tries the ABs scored, "soft".

I think they were if you think about the Lions concentration. Yes it's the AB's doing what they do best, but these guys are the best of 4 nations and should not be caught napping.

Owen Farrell doesn't like the haka much lol

[TRF_Olyy]

Another disinterested Mako face


And yeah, I still think the all blacks will score a hat full. Its the all blacks, They care not for trivial things such as weather.

What time is it on the east and west coasts?

 

[Truth]

Itoje allowed to stand in the middle?

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

What time is it on the east and west coasts?

It's 3:30 east coast 00:30 west coast.

Either way you are sacrificing a night out to watch.

 

[ncurd]

Itoje allowed to stand in the middle?

I though the same but it was so blatant there must be a reason why.

 

[Skylinerd1]

AB's need to remind frenchie that Itoje is standing offside in the lineouts. And that throw went down the lions side.

 

[Truth]

Itoje relieves the pressure

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Itoje proving that even a god king can make mistakes.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Ugh, what a waste.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Furlong takes some stopping. You Irish have found a gem in him.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

It's 3:30 east coast 00:30 west coast.

Either way you are sacrificing a night out to watch.

00:30 is easy enough but 3:30 damn.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Itoje proving that even a god king can make mistakes.

He was in awe of something more powerful, Tadhg Furlong.

 

[big ginger 8]

Nothing worse for a prop than expending energy and a teammate ruining it.

Yep reff was right there so it tustve been fair

 

[Skylinerd1]
