The Lions

The TV ref is having a shocker

Indeed.

Fear the worst for the Lions scrum after that...

Vickery doesn't look comfortable at all
 
Great break from Wallace - lacked any support.

There's points to be had in this match, we've just got to keep our focus.

Jones misses his 2nd kick...
 
Phillips ruins a great chance, lovely pass by Mears in midfield puts Wallace into space, gets tackled by the full back but stays on his feet long enough to allow support to get there, quick ball from the ruck was dropped by Phillips.

Jones misses another kick.

These Welsh cunts are big time bottlers aren't they Squiggles ?
 
I'm not convinced about Jones at all, often I think he's lucky to be in the Welsh side, let alone the Lions.

Our line-outs are a mess as well.
 
Fucking hell. Steyn nails the kick.

We can't afford to give away any penalties near our half.
 
It's always more tempting to illegally tackle when you're putting them into touch.

I remember narrowly avoiding a yellow card for something similar when playing for the midlands.
 
Great half break by Roberts, O'Driscoll again does everything right, cuts back inside to find Croft on his inside shoulder who falls over the line for the try.

Excellent work.
 
Fantastic play from Jones & O'Driscoll (lesser centres would have cut to the right)

13-7

We needed that - game on
 
That's a nice piece of luck. Knock on by Pienaar on his own 22.

We have to make this count
 
hehe ... a small bit of crossing the midfield there. Pity the timing was just off because I would have fancied Bowe from there

Vickery again...

Not good.

And the ref has started to penalise him now.

We should consider a change at halftime.


Kearney on for Byrne
 
He's playing like a typical English forward;

Thick & indisciplined.
 
For someone who knows nothing about the dark arts of the scrum, is Vickery doing anything cynical here?
 
The only positive is that as bad as we've been we're only 8 points down.

The lineout has been inconsistent, the scrum destroyed. We're still battling for everything up front which is good to see, all 8 are working hard and making the hits.

Jones' kicking has been awful, he hasn't turned the wingers once. Every ball is straight down their throat, compare that to Pienaar's kicks in behind the defence which have caused us a lot of problems. I don't expect us to take Jones off because we've got no more backs on the bench if somoene gets injured but I think Jones will be dropped for next week.

If we get some decent possession in the second half this could be a very different game.
