Force v British Lions

Canes4life

It was one good play against the Force. Let's keep grounded with the praise.

Was about to say this, he has talent but let’s see what he’s got when he comes up against tougher opposition.

Mr Fish

Never thought I'd see a Lions scrum marched backwards by the Western Force of all teams.

Crunch. Lower ribs smashed

Matty P doesn’t look good.

MajorRage

Atmosphere seems flat. I guess it’s an afl stadium so crowd are half a mile from the action

Daly scores a third tries for the BILs.

ACT Crusader

Force on their heels not watching

Great work by Finn Russell to set that try up. He has to be in the 10 jersey in the tests

Dylan Pietcsh is having a blinder of a game.

Bones

Pollock serves notice. He's the real deal IMHO.

The notice is made of yellow cardboard.

ACT Crusader

Not a bad move by the Force off the lineout but then knock on.

Then another attacking lineout goes amiss because of an over anxious hooker not being patient

21-7 to the BILs at the half-time break. Force failed to turn pressure into points.

The Lions look to have some decent players, but look they have just been introduced.

Bones

The ~~Lions~~ force look to have some decent players, but look they have just been introduced.

Yes

@Bones The Force need to play at pace and turn pressure into points. I'm not sure turning down 3s was wise.

The Lions look to have some decent players, but look they have just been introduced.

Two-thirds of the team is Irish.

sparky

@antipodean Well sort of Irish.

But yeah their lack of cohesion is surprising.

It seemed to me there was a forward pass in a phase which led to the first Lions try. Otherwise, I feel the Force are their own worst enemy.

ACT Crusader

What was White waiting for??? Your lock was ready.
