Lions' Scrum Dominance

[Billy Tell]

IMO Coles was robbed on that penalty.

But it makes up for Moody destroying Furlong and getting pinged for deliberate wheeling.

The guy who had a chinwag with Jones and thought he was actually a helluva nice chap....hoodwinked.

Penalty was fair in my opinion, Coles pulled the highlanders prop towards him and down to ground. Not the first time I've seen Coles use that tactic.

@SammyC That was my initial impression as well, but the commentators who were again trying to be overly neutral convinced the audience that the Lions were hard done by.

It was the ar that called that scrum penalty, and wasn't that Raynal. I thought everyone in the NH agreed French referees are better at reffing the scrum.

Half time in the MAB game and another game when the Lions scrum looks second best.

Will watch with interest when the subs come on.

Bit too optimistic on my part on my first half assessment. Scrum the was generally wheeling and unstable on Lions feed; with Hames going forward and May back.

Saw in second half the consequences of May going back.

According to Herald all down to Hames. SFB:http://www.nzherald.co.nz/rugby/news/article.cfm?c_id=80&objectid=11878450

Would have to say Lions were all over the Maori. But not unexpected.
