    @nzzp We're leaving shortly ourselves. In the cheap seats (GA) for this game.

    I went to Rotovegas for a few of the 2011 RWC games and the atmosphere in town with the Irish supporters was great. It will be interesting to compare that to today.

    I've got a busy week ahead - 3 games to attend.

    Good work! This is the big lads trip, caught the Blues and BaaBaas, and going to the two tests at EP. Thought about the chiefs, but seemed a bridge too far... 5 games on tour is enough.

    Any recommendations for good pubs in Vegas?

    @nzzp We are going to the Pig & Whistle.

    In 2011 all the Irish were in the bar at the ibis. We watched an earlier game there. 🍻

    @Catogrande said in Māori All Blacks vs British and Irish Lions:

    Not much that is directly attributable in that article though is there? One direct although vague quote from Jenkins and then various bits in "quote" marks with no source quoted.

    Original story is from Mick Cleary in the Telegraph.

    https://www.telegraph.co.uk/rugby-union/2017/06/14/angry-lions-call-fresh-look-goal-kicking-rules-two-key-calls/amp/

    And it seems to me that tge wuotes are directly attributed to Jenkins

    Farrell's kick missed. Quite clearly from the 2D video image available (unless the Lions have gone to the bother of sourcing alternative video from other angles).

    Surely they aren't basing their 'evidence' on Sky's replay that stopped before the ball passed the posts (and Marshall's unbiased commentary)?

    I mean it was a tough one, don't get me wrong, I had to rewind myself to double check. After doing that ...... I for one would like to commend the touchie for not wasting everyone's fucking time. And say to him don't listen to bullying nasties like Mick Cleary, trust your eyes over blundering TMOs using 2D images from imperfect angles. Well done you.

    Why so much waaaaaaaaah?

    Not a fan of the font for the numbers on the back of the jersey. Too chunky, like a logo.

    The mist made the Haka look quite cinematic. Awesome - bring it on!

    Fark, what an awesome Haka.
    If the game has the same intensity as that, we're in for a treat!

    Great start for the Lions.

    But that was fucking shit from Murray. Use the free play FFS.

    Halfpenny good with the penalty.

    NZ Maori 0 - 3 BI Lions

    Terrible nervous start by the MABs. Poor kicks, missed tackles, and dropped catches.

    And letting a bloody fly half counter ruck and ruin your ruck ball.

    Another dropped ball.

    I hope the Maori didn't use everything up in that Haka!

    Messam had one job, don't get carried out.

    Lowe, Reiko, Messam, Franklin all putting the team under pressure.
