No offerings from Force yet, good defencive speed, and working hard though...

by thebluesmancometh Wed 5 Jun 2013 - 11:18

Amazed by Tuilagis pass count so far, and impressed

by bsando Wed 5 Jun 2013 - 11:19

Come on the Force!!!

by RubyGuby Wed 5 Jun 2013 - 11:20

10-0 Lions Sexton try and 5 pts for 1/2p

by thebluesmancometh Wed 5 Jun 2013 - 11:21

Scrum???

Not a bad call i suppose.

This game isn't about winning 10 mins in, its about giving players time to gel

by thebluesmancometh Wed 5 Jun 2013 - 11:22

force defence working so hard, they really are fired up!!

by bsando Wed 5 Jun 2013 - 11:22

Tuilagi's had his weet-bix this morning!

by thebluesmancometh Wed 5 Jun 2013 - 11:23

Sad how easy the lions are disregarding scoring opportunities to follow phase play though!!!

by bsando Wed 5 Jun 2013 - 11:23

Yeah Force are doing alright so far. Hopefully they can get some ball soon and get some go forward ball

by **Biltong** Wed 5 Jun 2013 - 11:24

Ya cannah play rugby without tha ball Force.

I really hope so too, it'll come to a point soon where the lions will kick the leather off the ball for a few minutes to alolow them to work in defence!

This is more like a contact training session than a match

by thebluesmancometh Wed 5 Jun 2013 - 11:26

Murray trying too hard, carried twice poosrly now!

by bsando Wed 5 Jun 2013 - 11:26

yeah.. sadly,

good one Foley! Cheers for being a class d***!

by thebluesmancometh Wed 5 Jun 2013 - 11:27

Force wtaer bot making sure they get to the ball before 1/2p

by thebluesmancometh Wed 5 Jun 2013 - 11:27

SOB chip and chase Laugh

by Guest Wed 5 Jun 2013 - 11:27

Another one from Murray. Tying to do a Phillips I think!

by thebluesmancometh Wed 5 Jun 2013 - 11:28

6 points given away now for more practice

by bsando Wed 5 Jun 2013 - 11:29

Yeahhh!! Nice one Brown! Beat Halfpenny!

by thebluesmancometh Wed 5 Jun 2013 - 11:29

Poor throw from Best, his darts are awfull recently, and Hibbard will be Laugh

by thebluesmancometh Wed 5 Jun 2013 - 11:29

Force going to the corner, are they listening to lions coaching orders?

by thebluesmancometh Wed 5 Jun 2013 - 11:31

Good work Force, great training for the lions

by thebluesmancometh Wed 5 Jun 2013 - 11:31

Corner again? I like it!!!

by RubyGuby Wed 5 Jun 2013 - 11:32

Some more composure is required from the Lions thumbsup

Too hyped up

by belovedfrosties Wed 5 Jun 2013 - 11:33

Croft has looked sharp and has done a lot of dirty work already, made 2 turnovers already as well (though one was when force had adv so didn't count).

by thebluesmancometh Wed 5 Jun 2013 - 11:33

Pity the Force never took some points from that.

Poor game so far, Lions look dishevelled, set peice isn't quite where they want it to be, and look a little disjointed out wider.

by bsando Wed 5 Jun 2013 - 11:33

Nice by the Force! Shame they kooked the 2nd lineout, but that was some nice play. I can't help but feel the Lions are playing too conservatively. They're well ordered and structured. But the way they've played so far is no where near good enough to beat the Wallabies.

by thebluesmancometh Wed 5 Jun 2013 - 11:34

Force are going to throw a set peice linebreak play... watch this

Theyre just practising their phase play, on the last attack Murray couldve gone wide 3 times with numbers but decided to stay narrow with the phases

by bsando Wed 5 Jun 2013 - 11:36

awww bugger off ref!

by **profitius** Wed 5 Jun 2013 - 11:37

Set pieces are poor from the Lions.

by thebluesmancometh Wed 5 Jun 2013 - 11:37

Thats why Hartley was in in front of Best, we now have 2 hookers who cannot throw darts

by **Biltong** Wed 5 Jun 2013 - 11:38

Force lacks discipline and too many knocks.

by thebluesmancometh Wed 5 Jun 2013 - 11:39

Lions making some crappy mistakes now, Force are throwing their kitchen sinks in at the breakdown.

Yeah fair enough, only 10 points in it though. I'd be looking to build a decent score before practicing phase play. Force have been given some confidence from some sloppy Lions play last 10mins.

Ye I think the first 15 was total lions dominance and they seem to have thought the games already won weirdly!!! This is the opposite of what we want to see

by **Biltong** Wed 5 Jun 2013 - 11:41

Great little inside offload by North there.

by RubyGuby Wed 5 Jun 2013 - 11:42

There is little pattern, team are fragmented and playing as individuals. It should settle down in the 2nd half thumbsup

by thebluesmancometh Wed 5 Jun 2013 - 11:42

That try coming off a pretty hefty 1/2p mistake there, Force piled men into the breakdown eyeing a fair turnover but weren't given the penalty...

by thebluesmancometh Wed 5 Jun 2013 - 11:43

Good conversion but 1/2p doesn't look up to much if anything yet

by thebluesmancometh Wed 5 Jun 2013 - 11:44

Healys screaming in the tackle, he's hurt!!!!

by t1000advancedprototype Wed 5 Jun 2013 - 11:44

OMG what a kick!!

Who is that youngster playing 13? God he's quick.

by t1000advancedprototype Wed 5 Jun 2013 - 11:45

Paul James call up?

by belovedfrosties Wed 5 Jun 2013 - 11:46

Looks like the end of Healys tour, terrible shame, hopefully he can get back in time for the tests.

by bsando Wed 5 Jun 2013 - 11:46

More likely a Ryan Grant call up Wink

by thebluesmancometh Wed 5 Jun 2013 - 11:46

Ankle looks broken from the replay... what a twist. I hope I'm wrong!

Yeah huge shame. I'd have had him to start first test.

What a s****y attitude, Healy barely hits the ground and your calling for welshmen, get lost you lowlife!!!

by RubyGuby Wed 5 Jun 2013 - 11:47

What's happened to Healey?

by thebluesmancometh Wed 5 Jun 2013 - 11:48

Sheehan accuses Healy of biting him...

mmm
