The people that write drivel like this are a scourge on humanity.

Is that Parson's? Didn't recognise him without the headgear.
I saw the Lions vs Qld 4 years ago and they certainly looked in much better nick than this lot. Then again the Lions had North and the Reds had Kwade.
What I found quite heartening for the ABs was that the Blues weren't bashed around and pretty much held their own physically. My greatest fear before the tests is the Lions outmuscling us.
So, how many of these Lions will make the starting team? I wasn't at all impressed with the backrow and am even more glad they decided to leave Van Der Flier home even if he was short of a gallop.

Anyone else getting the feeling the Lions are holding back in the scrums? I expected them to dominate in that area against the Baa Baas and to a lessor extent against the Blues. I know they won a few penalties but to me they didn't look like they were trying that hard at times last night. Like they were content to just hold own.

A comment I read said they have been surprised not to be awarded some penalties when a scrum has collapsed as the refs (so far) have been happy to let play continue if the ball is at the no.8s feet.
The Lions scrum won't be able to hold back against the Crusaders.

Interesting.
They dominated last night when the respective subs came on, which is totally expected.Starting front rows didn't really budge, but yeah I didn't recall much weight going on. Plenty of collapses though.
