Throwing the ball away after penalties - both sides
Diving off their feet at rucks - both sides
Living offside - both sides
Not rolling away from the tackled player - both sides
Spear tackling defenders at the ruck - penalised and YC
Pulling back players off the ball - penalised
Coles potential high tackle - noted but not looked at
Barrett leading with the shoulder - missed -
@MiketheSnow
It seems you Lions fans don't like being accused of cheating. Funny, your coach seems happy to dish out those sorts of accusations.By the way. Just because cheating gets penalised doesn't mean it's not cheating.

Argh! Fuck, what a frustrating game. Canes played like idiots for most of it. How does ben may get paid to play rugby? I don't understand how it is so hard for players to get it through their thick skull that you can't tackle a player in the air. So often you see guys have a brain explosion and half jumping in the air and tackling the other player. TTT was the culpret in this case but there have been a few recently. Fekitoa was one from memory. Just let him land and dig your shoulder into his ribs.
For a guy who just got his ABs spot taken Savea was pretty anonymous. One or two good runs and fuck all else. Get into midfield and show you can bend the line rather than waiting on your wing doing nothing.
NMS had some nice touches but defence was not great. Catching kicks still a worry.In the good column was Laumape and Barrett which is encouraging given one or both are a chance at the test team.
Oh and fuck you Lions you whinging, cheating bunch of chokers.
Chokers? Definitely
Cheaters? Please enlighten me -
16.7(c) When the ball has been clearly won by a team at a ruck and the ball is available to be played the referee will call "Use it!" after which the ball must be played within five seconds. ...
Five seconds... it seems like an eternity when we're not used to it being used to the limit every single time - but it does seem they're within their rights. Fuckers.
At least the hugging of the ball after penalty given to slow the game down has been noticed. -

Thought half back play from Canes was poor particularly TTT who was awful, the youngster who came on was a huge improvement. Jane looked so much better than NMS. Don't know which irks me more Poirot or the whining Lion's players, Best and Biggar in particular. Good news is I think the holding onto the ball after penalties will be noted by ref for next week, Loved Laumape, third test perhaps? Jordie blew hot and cold, you would think it opens the door wide for Naholo.

Agree about TTT. The u20 HB looked far and away better so I hope we can sign him as TTT has been tried in a few games and looks at best OK but not much more. whereas K Hauiti-Parapara looks the good
I was also disappointed with Black. Barrett at first is a much better option

@antipodean So who would be your 23 jersey for Saturday?

Just the facts ma'm, just the facts.
All sides at it.
Chokers definitely. And I called it very early in the match.

Brilliant game. Poite was outstanding. Proper ref.
Henderson was fantastic. Laumape was too.
Draw was about it.
Greg Laidlaw is the slowest passer in history.

I call him the handbrake. He's the anti-Aaron Smith.

@Stockcar86 yeah some strange tactics by Gatland in the way he used the bench.
Should've made some changes ealier.

In fairness to Gatland you could see that the reaction from Former Lions, Wanabee Lions, the press and fans tied his hands.
He wanted to use the bench, but couldn't for fear of 'capping the Lions into disrepute'
I certainly would have flipflopped the half backs.
Davies for Laidlaw, Russel for Biggar.
And if Henderson is in his plans for Saturday, then Hill would have done the job in the last ten mins.

Dammit. They should have snatched that at the end. Pity that stupid first try.
Jordie should backup Beauden at 10. He shits on Black.
After nearly proclaiming the BB could walk on water in a post earlier today I now conclude you're the black sheep Barrett uncle shipped of to Oz.
Wtf are you talking about?

Plenty of examples.In fairness, I think the Lions might have been guilty of one or two of those as well.....
How could you tell? Or do the red invisibility cloaks only work on refs?

That comeback was nearly as bad as Laidlaw's passing...

Being at have stadium. Now reading the thread while waiting for a bus.
It's funny. The last thing in my mind is the ref,and what decisions went what way, and what copious amounts of (apparently) unseen offences didn't go which way.
It was throughly entertaining.
With some genuine getting in the refs back as a home crowd should but 90% blindly hopeful getting on his back in a hopeful way.
Tv and slo mos are the rugby viewers curse. Won't stop me on Saturday though ...... as I don't have tickets for tbe blissful distant live view.

You're a good fan MtS, you show up rain or shine, and I'm impressed you keep your cool. You are the one Welsh supporter who doesn't go mad in every game (including one of my best mates who introduced me to my wife). Next time you come through Tokyo, let me know and I'll buy you a beer

I've made absolutely no secret of my fanboism. What has that got to do with what I wrote? Are you upset about me saying that JB is much better than Black?

No, I was just referencing your not secret fanboism (which I thought was in a jocular way but clearly you've taken it another way) - Black had a poor game, but he's from the Canes and the Poo so I'm not going to white knight him.
