The Silver Fern

@Bones said in Reds v British Lions:

Wasn't that out off the wing, rather than from the kick? Or is the flag considered out? No sound here...

Comms said something similar ...... but the TMO said dead before anyone touched it

Reds have gifted the BIL two very soft tries.

FFS ...stoopid is as stoopid does

offside not a thing obviously

too easy again ... BIL just need to hold on to the pill and they will run away with it

BIL clearly use to slow playing rucks and set plays .... I am all for them getting a hurry up and can se Park getting pinged for fluffing around before to long

wtf was that ruck ..... parks picked it up and put it back in the ruck???

that was too easy in the end ....

BIL handling has been poor so far

@ACT-Crusader said in Reds v British Lions:

Will the Reds attempt a penalty kick if given the chance?

good question.. would it be their first in 2025?

hilarious

Itoje yelling at the lineout is fucked.

@Mattasaurus said in Reds v British Lions:

how that knock on was missed is beyond me

Doleman

fair call he was at least 2.5 meters away that's mile for him

how that knock on was missed is beyond me

MAB midfield look a bit vulnerable on D

lovely try by Japan

Rieko Ioane.

Corrected thanks

Will be interesting to see the match day 23.....

Front row is good - well earned Norris
Locks I am happy - plenty of grunt in there - pleased with Holland selection
I am still mildly concerned about the balance of the loosies, it does depend where they play Ardie I guess--- but very happy Du’Plessis is in there.

Halfbacks I am happy with those 3

10s no surprises but an injury could open up the door for opportunities for some of the young fellas on the edge of the squad.

Midfield looks good, Rieko is surely a wing now.

Outsides - happy enough, CC pretty lucky I feel. And nice to see Love in there

anyway bring on the first test - lets see how they go.

@Canes4life said in Final - Crusaders v Chiefs:

So who still has DMac starting for the ABs? Massive worry for the ABs when Beauden’s been average as well. Maybe time to starting blooding guys like Love and Reihana.

I would love to see them roll the dic for the French - Dmac and BB are both known quantities so lets have a look at one of the young fellas

@KiwiMurph said in Final - Crusaders v Chiefs:

Jacobson not knowing the score...another sign he should have stayed off....

That's malpractice in my eyes and I am even more angry about sam cane's red now as rugby obviously doesn't really give a fuck about player safety

Yup not a great look at all - as someone said in the thread - they are more interested by the cards... at the end of the day if there is a head clash worthy of a card surely both heads need assessing --

As for Jobcobson - I could see he was knocked out from Invercargill so what they hell were the officials looking at
