All Blacks vs. B&I Lions test #1
-
Now watching a replay. Within 9 minutes, there were three line-outs. The first one close to our try line after Dagg's magnificent try-saving tackle.
Just before the first line-out (AB throw), Peyper tells the Lions to "stop talking" and when they creep closer to the ABs lining up, he just shouts "move" with an arm movement away from the ABs to widen the gap.
Just before the 2nd throw (ABs), he points at one or more Lions players and tells them to "be quiet".
During the 3rd (Lions throw), he warns them there will be sanctions if they keep trying to close the gap with the lined-up ABs.

Yeah this was my point. He needed to start dishing free kicks. It was tedious.

Does anyone know whether Kaino's shoulder problem was at the left or right?
One thing I've noticed about our scrums is that when Kaino was still on the field, Kaino was positioned at the right side of the scrum and Cane at the left. After Kaino left the field, Cane moved back to the right side of the scrum, with Ardie on the left.
Is Kaino always pushing at right side of the scrum or is this a possible left-over from his shoulder injury?
Edit: not sure why, but now (54th min), Cane is back at the left side of the scrum with Ardie on the right.

@Stargazer and yet he did little when either team closed the gap later in the game.
Didnt realise there was a streaker...although it was at the end of the game

Errr ... i thought they were open and blindside. Did they stick to a left/right? That's a bit odd.
Unless they were planning a backrow move, or they had identified a defensive pattern to be used against their attacking set up.

Yeah, it's open and blindside. We don't have a left or right. However, if we're wrong, then that's good spotting there @Stargazer
-
I'd think it more likely what @booboo has suggested in that it was down to a specific pattern (defence) or move (offence) they were doing if they were doing more left/right, with Ardie being quicker or Cane being more Kaino-like in defence.

@taniwharugby that was slick off the left to beat the first security guard.
-
@taniwharugby Shit, that was a long boring build up to watch a naked guy .... Each to their own I guess.
-
I'd rather get my jollies by watch this over and over.
BBBR turns on the rockets and saves a situation. Give that man a cape and a movie deal.
-
@Crucial that tackle from BBBR stood out to me during the game. Was saying to the wife, in a cool, calm and collected voice, "FFS WHO WANTS TO TACKLE THAT FUCKING fluffybunny!!! OH THANK FUCK FOR BIG BAD BRODIE!!!! SHEEESH."
-
I don't like Gats. If he was British I would dislike him immensely. That is all.

Dummy, step, fend, offload!
best lock ever. Anyone suggesting otherwise is deluded by nostalgia

UK press starting to say he's shaping that way.

That Read tackle on Farrell before that penalty was a beauty.
I loved seeing that little fluffybunny get what he deserved

Me, too!
What I liked was it showed that for all his skills Reado also has a mean streak. Farrell is no stranger to big hits (youtube), but that one hurt.
Also highlights what Luatua appears to lack, at least at this stage. -

Other than BBBR - that video shows A.Smith's split-second decision making... he's just drifting across ready for the next ruck - then sees a gap and BBBR with a hand just coming free... and he starts sprinting, knowing BBBR will get him the offload.
Fucking magic. -

Fucking magic.Would have been nice if he added an inside pass after getting the ball though.
