One-sided match. Have to wonder if the BIL's would benefit more from some tougher games.
Not sure they'll ever get them.
Would the NZ sides AB-less do any better?
It's not 2005 any more

Kiss not smart enough to stack his bench with forwards, so the Lions class disparity is becoming more obvious with more minutes.
6-2 bench split isn't it?
Needs to be 8-0. The forwards are absent because the gulf in class is killing them.

I'd be more worried about Wallabies lack of lead in vs this machine.

Jones has been close to the best back on the park

I think the Lions have played with good intensity and it’s all part of getting some reps in and having film to show some things. Reds have had moments, but the Lions class has been really evident.

Lol chip worked well. Dumb fuck
The bloom is off the rose with Tim Ryan
One good game goes a long way in a shallow pool.

QLDers had him as a nailed-on Test winger

Gee they haven't made many errors given their ambition. Impressive continuity

Yeah, but tougher games would be better all round though. Hate to see Lions tours become a series of exhibition matches tacked onto a 3 Test series.

It's clear how well the Lions players defend the second man play. Their shape knows who has to target that seam to prevent it progressing.
Reds structure looks an entire RWC cycle behind.

I think that's where the calls for Lions to tour France instead of Aus come from

Haha yeah cheers Morgs.
I'm in Sydney on Saturday but the chances of me paying $400 to watch the Lions sleep walk to a 50 point win is less than zero

Reds lineout has been quietly more efficient than the Lions.
Rescinded. Gone to shit. Every part of it.
