I agree
What's Ian Robertson saying...... besides sorry to Gatland He regularly refers to the "6 back rowers in the squad" on his reports. Never sure who he is forgetting. |

The second test was a pure fluke really, they just were not in our class throughout this tour.

The 2013 Lions enter history
![]() This win will go down as one of the all time great Lions wins, they've never scored that many points in a test before! Not many going to criticise Gatland for dropping BOD now! Think it was a gutsy move to drop a player who hadn't been performing, he took a lot of stick for it but end of the day he's been proved right. |

I didnt agree with this or other sides, youll never know what wouldve happened had say Tipuric started all three tests. But either way Robertson has had his day. He makes mistakes galore.
He regularly refers to the "6 back rowers in the squad" on his reports. Never sure who he is forgetting. I agree . Time he was put out to pasture |

Hey, visiting footie fan here just to say that the last hour or so has been fantastic to watch . I have no idea what's happening most of the time though.
![]() I only ever watch RU and even then just the internationals . I've always thought it was just a brutal extravaganza but these three tests have shown me just now complex and intelligent the game is . Football is so simple in comparison . I guess the intelligence of the players of each sport reflects that as well. Great to see that the cowardly Aussie captain has a loss series against his name , that stamp in the scrum in the first test was disgraceful and cowardly and I still don't understand why he wasn't banned for the last two tests . Just a final thought , is it acceptable for the manager / coaches and entourage to start celebrating 8 minutes before the end of the game ??? Will it not be seen as disrespectful ?? |

Halfpenny a shoe-in for man of the series. So consistant.

Leigh Halfpenny is player of the series.
Although Adam Jones had a superb three Tests and not always recognised for all his hard work around the pitch and in that front row. |

If our tactics last week were tonights or if Cobisiero had stages fit, wed have been 2-0 up and series over. What about Warburton? Makes the argument that we may have been stronger without him more valid. Certainly Deans did himself no favours. O'Connor is never a 10 and was wasted, Barnes not a 15 and Beale was hit and miss. Jig them around and play Mogg at 15 and this may have been different too. |

Small margins throughout. If Lealeafano hadnt been knocked out or they could kick, theyd have been 2-0 up and series over.

and with the 90th anniversary of the 4-0 win of Argentina is it time for a trip to South Anerica? Say a midweek against a South American XV and a test against Argentina.
