Take the 3 dumb arses everywhere in NZ rugby

Garden-Bachop would have missed it.

Wellington just need to keep the ball in hand.

Umaga Jensen’s passing game is either poor or non existent. He always gets himself into a good position but never puts anyone away.

Love at first five. Has a beaut pass from ten.

That’s the game. Proctor puts away Filipo who finds Preston and that will do it.

Counties played second with a helluva lot of spirit. Kudos.
But just too inaccurate when it counted.

Doesn't really look like first versus eighth

It did in the first 30 mins but Counties to their credit dug in and made a game of it.

Game over 29-14. Lions go through.

It's going to be interesting to see how Numia goes in the scrums with the AB XV as he has been penalised quite a lot in the games I've seen. NH opposition and I assume NH refs.

@Canes4life at times? Generous call that.

Numia seems to be looking a little tired. He’s had a massive workload this year. Played almost every game for the Lions and isn’t dominating like he was for the Canes and at the beginning of the NPC. Unfortunately he can’t be rested now and then he’ll be straight on the plane after the final. (If the Lions make it through). So he won’t get a rest for a while yet.

Must say I’m surprised Wellington won. With sotutu in the counties side thought they would be unbeatable.

Just watching the replay now and fuck it's disappointing the amount of cockholes in the Welly forward pack from the kick off following the 2nd counties try. Makes Itoje look like a good sport.

Bones

Also disappointing is Sotutu plodding around the field like he's one of the Franks brothers and throwing 30/70 offloads to nowhere.

Hopefully saving it for the NZXV.

TJP went well today. More influential than Roigard.

Proctor had a great match.

@Bones

It seems like he's put on weight.

Jeez I dunno about that. TJ blew a clear try with a no-look pass and made several other mistakes. Roigard looks short of a run unsurprisingly, so not the highest bar - but still.

Best player on the field for me was Higgins, then Aumua. That try they put together he almost had a bit of Tim Horan about him.
But fuck me I'm sick of these rolling subs. Higgins once subbed should stay off the field.

foobaNZ

@reprobate agree with you. TJ had moments but also a number of fuck ups.
