NZ Provincial Barbarians v B&I Lions (Whangarei, 3 June 2017)
-
These Lions look woeful. They're International players against semi-pros ffs.
-
Lions look like a scratch team.
NZ Barbarians look like a team NZRFU have been quietly paying for a lot of training time for.

Really surprised at how good the scrum has been.

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

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

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

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.

@Pot-Hale Kyle Sinkler looking lively too.

Barbarians special, and if leading at half time, they get to down a beer in the break?
-
Well that's enough for me. Back to work.
Dismal stuff.
-
Can we send AWJ, Sexton and Best back home now?
-
What a steaming pile of shit from the Lions.
To pick up a lamented point from @Chris-B earlier, this is Clayton McMillan coached team with 4 BoP players... and it's been several years since we've had anything to cheer about.
I had this down as an 80 point thrashing.

I think you guys are being a bit unfair on the Lions. By the looks of it, I'll paraphrase and modify my previous post.
Lions look like a scratch team of good players.
NZ Barbarians look like a team of average NZ players (that aren't in a squad) that the NZRFU has quietly payed for a lot of training time for.
