NZ Provincial Barbarians v B&I Lions (Whangarei, 3 June 2017)

[Bones]

You can't get more cynical than that! Lucky not to see yellow.

[Kirwan]

So what feels heavier? Semi-pro legs or jet lagged legs?

[dingo]

You got to say that Bryn Gatland is (so far) not doing his future chances of a super contract any harm.

I know that is a double negative, so i'll just say he looks OK

[SimonAdd_2]

Sexton... Jesus.

[canefan]

Score please

7-3 to the good guys.

[antipodean]

These Lions look woeful. They're International players against semi-pros ffs.

[dingo]

Lions look like a scratch team.

NZ Barbarians look like a team NZRFU have been quietly paying for a lot of training time for.

[Kirwan]

Held up again!

Really surprised at how good the scrum has been.

[Stockcar86]

Looks like a few players are playing their way out of a test spot

[Kirwan]

Superb defence! Absolutely desperate.

Quite odd. He's shown a shitload more than he has for the blues. I guess it's a level down...

[Derm McCrum]

Sexton should have stayed at home.
Hogg pretty rusty.
Don't know why they're not making more use of their scrum dominance.

Faletau and Te'o the only ones catching my eye.

[SimonAdd_2]

@Pot-Hale Kyle Sinkler looking lively too.

[Kirwan]

Wow, surely that was worth a review upstairs?

[No Quarter]

Success!! NZB WIN THE FIRST HALF!!!

[Bones]

@Pot-Hale scrum dominance?

[Stargazer]

Hats off to the Prov Baabaas lads. Didn't expect this half time score!
