Back where they belong, losing manfully to SH teams?

Thanks Will. Tell your mates about G&GR. Just for you....I vill say zis vonce, and vonce only.....the British.....& Irish Lions....to be sure, to be sure. I really enjoyed the test series, tremendous atmosphere and super competitive. I especially liked the Lions expansive playing style. The centres in particular were outstanding and Rob Kearney is the real deal. I thought the Lions were a little unlucky but they're back and that can only be good for world rugby.

Well it just seems like even the TMO is looking at the wrong thing sometimes. I mean in the 3rd test he got about 50 views of the grounding but only 2 or 3 on if his foot was in touch. I mean here at work we always prefer to have a second pair of eyes look over something before it goes production, It's a good way in case the first person has missed something is all I'm saying. P.S. A jury of 13 is just ridiculous. 7 would be the most you'd want.

So they can disagree? Maybe three people to break the gridlock. Or perhaps a jury of 13...

Surely they should have got benefit of the doubt. I can't remember the last time a close call went in favour of the attacking team. Close is good enough

It's worth having but there's been some close calls on this tour. The try you're talking about in the 3rd test looked ok to me, yet the late try in the second test I wouldn't have given. TMO system should stay but I think two people need to be in the booth.

I'm fed up with the whole TMO system. It seriously needs to be revamped to give better information or its not worth having. I mean 20+ replays and the TMO still had to guess? is it really helping the game or making it more enjoyable for spectators?
