Lions squad playing like guys who are angry (angry to be consigned to the dustbin I guess). While at times this is creating poor decision making (Marler) it is also making them determined.

Marler wasn't that bad, yellow at most . Over reaction from some of you by the looks of it.

Done Biggar has put a shift in for the 1st half. If he is third choice then the others must be bloody awesome.

I'm surprised you say that Tighthead as that was worse than the accidental hit by Cane on the Irish guy in Dublin. Go figure.

"Save for the odd bit of ill-discipline, the Lions have played well and are good value for their half-time lead.

And players like Liam Williams, Jack Nowell and James Haskell - all quiet on tour so far - are looking more comfortable in the Lions jersey.

Dan Biggar and Courtney Lawes have both been excellent as well."

Now watching but I just read this.

Interestingly Biggar is having to try to shine with what looks like prop passing from Laidlaw, who has to be as far from a test spots anyone out there!

Henshaw is having a decent game, I think he enjoys Biggars line speed, but Payne and Nowell are so weak defencively, they are allover the shop. Luckily Nowell is showing good work rate in attack.

One name noone is mentioning, is Tipuric, he is involved in every cover tackle, every Chiefs breakdown, and is covering every blade of grass!

Lawes is going well too, he needs to work harder in defence, but as good as a lock performance we've seen on tour imo

If you were wondering how they get used to the lineout calls, McGrath confirms it's on a forwards whatsapp group.

Lawes is having a good game, he just looks like a penalty waiting to happen though. If he can control his emotions, and keep his discipline he could be a fine addition to the test side.

Sounds like Lawes is having another great game. He must be a starting lock in the Tests now?

Had Nowell improved or was the try a gimme?

Missing the game but following on BBC website, Moyne saying Lawes is great but others saying Henderson is at his best ripping the ball in the tackle, is a monster at the ruck and running the lineout well

Gatland's sooka bubba act during the week is paying dividends now with a blocking call made. Rory Best with two crooked line out throws in a row and gets pinged for the second. Good work ref Wink

This.

It's a shame because the rest of his game is quite decent.

Kruis and Itoje based on Saturday for me, Henderson and Lawes playing for a bench spot. In terms of impact I think Henderson offers more

Well perhaps they should stop doing it. What is the difference between that and this shouting at the line out you have focused on ?

And there's confusion as to why Ireland's attack is so blunt. Henshaw is just not good at 12. I can't believe he has genuinely been converted to play there. Every time there has been an attacking opportunity he has butchered it.

I figure a gentlemen's agreement is in order. The AB's should agree to only block offside players. Granted it won't reduce it a huge amount ... Wink

Four players who have seriously staked at least a claim for the bench spot so far today:-

Dan Biggar
Liam Williams
Courtney Lawes
Jack Nowell

These guys will at least have given the coaches something to think about.

Well I am watching the game, Liam has not taken a step backwards, he is playing a blinder. It's probably just some one eyed fan on the get involved option saying things like that.

Well I am watching the game, Liam has not taken a step backwards, he is playing a blinder. It's probably just some one eyed fan on the get involved option saying things like that.
Or that from his first 4 high balls he gave away 2 pens and a yellow, fell over once and backed out of the other.

That's his usual look in fairness, always looks on the verge of sleep.

I cannot remember that happening in this game. Rolling Eyes

But I did just see him totally cut the Chiefs defence to pieces and give Payne a stroll over try.

Gatland just re-iterating to the called up players that they are second class players by not giving any of them a chance off the bench. What you would have imagined I guess.

A shame given how big a lead we now have - even giving Funn Russell 20 minutes would have been a benefit.

Nobody said this game. They said tour.
