This. Its actually been a lot like watching Scotland from about 3 or 4 years ago. You know the players have the skills and abilities but they just arent producing it consistently against an opposition who are coherent and well drilled.

I imagine the All Blacks will be doing a few more lineout drills than normal next week.

The expert analysis on Sky is doing my head in.

Fair point. I was thinking that all the lions seem to be playing pretty well. They're just not clicking and the all blacks take advantage of any friction. Perhaps it always was too much of a tall order

Cheap turnovers are killing them too.

huge number of tackles though (20 from 162!)- the ABS percentage is actually worse. But yes, you can't afford so many.

Murdered on territory and possession so far- we have coughed up too much easy ball.

great, another top piece of subbing.

Blimey, a penalty for blocking. He'll start calling them for taking out defenders next. Things are looking up. Now, if we could just stop coughing up the pill we might get somewhere.

FFS. Have to say, great work Whitelock.

I wish i'd found a stream with nz commentary. Then i could hear what Marshall thought of things.

Game over.

They're on another level when it comes to taking any chances.

Banquo · Post by **Banquo** » Sat Jun 24, 2017 10:15 am

oops...sanjay....

fooked. And actually mullered tbh- better lineout, but that's it. Lose momentum and you are fooked.

Due to not having had sky for the last 12 years I had forgotten just how up himself Barnes is as a commentator. Apparently the big "secret" of AB rugby is how good their basic skills are.

Give me fwckin strength

Such a well oiled machine. They hunt in packs to win the breakdown, they're there in force to support team mates either for an offload or hitting rucks. They all know what to do and when to do it.

Fair play, they're just a very, very good team, full of very, very good players.
