Williams has been really silly again there. No composure from him. Poor penalty and YC to give away there.

Given the tradition of fantastic wingers on Lions tours we really could do with one of ours standing out and doing something good! Seymour and Watson both did fine on Saturday without anything brilliant but sounds like the lot today aren't doing well.

Bring on North....

Seems like, as with Saturday, more guys trying to play their way off the test team rather than into it.

I think that Tipuric and Webb have stood up very well and are playing themselves into the test team, as is Lawes.

Why is our defensive line so often staggered as if we expect to be getting the ball, rather than flat? What has Farrell Sr been doing in training?

Kicking high to Duffie is daft - he's an ex-RL winger, used to defending the high ball

It was very good when Payne was on, he was leading them well but since he has gone off the shape has gone with him.

Much better, Mullerring them in the set play and giving decent ruck ball. Unfortunately the backs can't do anything with it

Set piece going well.

They had to swap out front rows early to keep it that way though. And the Blues have had good possession form their own attacking scrum which nearly led to a try.

Standers had a mixed bag by the sounds of it. Lawes and Tipuric grabbing the plaudits through dirty work.

We're almost better deliberately (but slyly) knocking on in their half so we can get penalties!

Goes back to the same old debate though - he kicks his goals but has contributed to our lack of cutting edge in the backline!
