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

[Mattasaurus]

This is arse from the lions....very underwhelming

[gt12]

They bottled it there though, just not chancing their arm. They won't win this by being conservative.

[Stockcar86]

I really thought the Lions would have finished it off by now.

NZB are missing Gatland.

And Sexton.

Can I just say...NZPB.

[No Quarter]

Comon boys!!!

[gt12]

Set something up for Vaka. He's been most dangerous!

[SimonAdd_2]

Guess who gives the penalty away?

[No Quarter]

Far out risky defense of the maul but they got away with it.

[gt12]

Stupid to try and outmaul them

[Donsteppa]

Blues will be licking their lips for Wednesday.

[Kirwan]

What a great performance from the Baabaas

I was hoping for another bomb to put the cat amongst the pidgeons.

Baabaas are out. Concede the penalty, and that's the game gone. Hopefully they don't ship too many points now.

Nope.

Worse Lions team to tour NZ.

[gt12]

@Virgil

Pretty pleased to be wrong about that

[Stargazer]

The Baabaas can pat themselves on the back. Such a marginal loss against a full-time pro team like the Lions is almost like a win. I can't imagine the Lions coaches being happy.

But early for hyperbole like that, been together a week and got off the plan on Wednesday. These games are to get them ready.

That said, I expected better from the Lions that that.

[Stockcar86]

Credit where it is due, well done to the Lions for getting the win of their tour out of the way in the first match

[Bones]

@Stockcar86 brilliant.

Was just wondering if I just watched their only win. If they turn up like that against the Super Rugby sides it's going to get ugly.

Just getting it in there before Ratpoo does.

Welcome to NZ rugby, looking forward to Wednesday.
