I read a few people say he thought they had lost by 1 point instead of 4. But Scott Barrett also said he thought they were trailing befoe the Crusaders scored their last penalty, so that one is no indication, a lot don't actually look at screen and they don't have big scoreboards anymore...

Yep while not liking to see young players going overseas, can kind of understand it. Outside of rugby even, look how many young people do the OE for a couple of years, I think a change of lifestyle helps, and with so many grades of semi and fully pro rugby for players must be really attractive...

Looking good, had a quick check of weather in Brissy, looks to be good. I not sure at all how this will go. Imagine Lions will be favorites, but some of the starts(28-29?)posted here by TAB (or whoever) look a bit of a stretch to me. Even without a few test players , I don't think it looks a bad...

I was reading he passed all protocols etc when leaving field in final, but actually showed signs later, and was retested more completely. He has it seems come good as gold, but because he missed a couple of days of training they rightly leaving him out. Well so the whispers are going.

Good news, Blackadder re-signed for another year. Not yelling for him in ABs or anything, but as always I really happy when players stick around NZ or Aus. I suspect though Blackadder may possibly of been told by Razor he thereabouts for ABs later in year if he goes alright in ITM etc.

Not a surprise really is it WOB? He was never really had the game to make test rugby I thought.

Gets expensive for these games Ig, I guess the Reds etc have to use opportunity to get extra money. I know myself and mate in Aus paid out fairly biggish coin for tickets to Lions vs Blues and Last teat in NZ in 2017. It's ok mate , it's why we work isn't it? Well that's what I said when I was...

Eay fishing sometimes Derps.;)

Yep saw him vomit Italophile, was watching as he lined up conversion and he looked to be struggling then. Was surprised he stayed on after halftime to be honest.

Seems a decent Lions side, heavy on Irish with a mix of Russell etc which is what I thought would be close to test team before the tour started. Getting to be a tastier match all the time.

Why would I complain about that Ig?? You desperate or something? I don't get your point.

About whether announcers should stir the pot so to speak. No probs with crowds ribbing (although I strongly disliked when kiwis had the boo Quade thing, even though some thought they were funny) but just personally I think the announcers should perhaps not. But fair enough most think it good ...

NZ boys certainly didn't look too flash against Italy this morning. And by the size and speed of Boks they may face an uphill battle there too.

Interesting to see Tupou being released for the Tahs. Wonder if it to test Lions scrum or an indication of where he is in pecking order.

That's not a bad Reds team. Should be good game.
