blueballss 2,969 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Watson getting his chance, then getting concussed in training, no luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Reynolds 1,329 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Fagerson is out as well.... I am not that arsed about it TBH. The 6 Nation was decent with no crowds, better than I expected but the Lions tours typically live and die by the crowd, could see it being a bit pish.

MisterC 12,262 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Lions team to face Emirates Lions: Hogg; Rees-Zammit, Harris, Farrell, Adams; Russell, Price; W Jones, George, Sinckler, Itoje, Hill, Lawes, H Watson, Faletau. Replacements: Cowan-Dickie, Vunipola, Fagerson, Henderson, Simmonds, Davies, Aki, Daly Hogg captain for this. Will be interested to see how Watson goes in the back row as well. Price and Russell at half back with Faz at 12 should be a great combination TEFTONG 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmcf 34,091 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Good to see so many Scots involved in this first game of the tour . TEFTONG 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEFTONG 60,072 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 4 Tries for Josh Adams. Boy is a flying machine. So weird that its in an empty stadium. Love to see and hear the Lions support when they are on a Tour. I was catching up on some of the previous documentaries and they are a damn fine watch. Not much of an egg chaser fan. But love The Lions. Clemdog and dummiesoot 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis Reynolds 1,329 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I’m not into the wanky - takes a player to know a player thing but…Chris Harris is fucking amazing at Rugby, he just gets how a game works he’s where he needs to be so often, I bloody love him Price - sound - Farrell is a wank for his patter off a missed feed, they’ve hardly played together fuck sake Harris - class Mish - consistently one of the best players in the NH - he just turns up all the time Finn - he was very hit and miss, not getting ahead of Biggar like that Hoggy - rock solid, his chase back even on an 8 was magic, he can drift in bulk and thin he looks absolute on point the now with his weight v bulk, his kick and run choice is always spot on Fags - he was quite and hardly noticed which is a decent place for him Daly as a random aside was amazing when he came on, that on the run pass to Adams was majestic Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis Reynolds 1,329 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 shit show, bench last night was just a mess, playing the Sharks again on Saturday, most likely without the those who missed last night, should fuck it off Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if its in the same tour/video , but I remember the management team instilling ' make it happen ' to the players just before running on to the park . As in , dont just wait for things to happen, you have to make it happen . A brilliant attitude. MisterC 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterC 12,262 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Suspicion of offside for the sharks 2nd try there. Looks like the lions have a game on their hands today Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingKirk 25,605 Posted July 10, 2021 Author Share Posted July 10, 2021 Great game of rugby. Play like this in a few weeks and we will get destroyed. Also gutted for Russell who's tour is probably over due to injury Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
