Give these lions a spanking

No just no mate

^^ haha

Come on the lions

Come on boys!

LIONSSSSS

Come on lions !

From a South African point of view, the lions are going to have to step up their game if they want to beat Australia because at the moment it isnt looking good. I support the lions in this tour, i hope they win but if they play like they've played in the last few games then no chance

Agreed Terence. The reds looked a better side than the lions. Good news for you saffas this year. The boks are looking very strong and new zealand isnt looking as great as usual

Wade was weak in the tackle,Poorest selection of Lions so far a win here will be a good result

Peter you obviously missed the Allblacks France game on Sat !!! 30-0 !!!

Mate i didnt it was a great game but France didnt play well. NZ will still win the rugby championship but it will be alot closer. Aus will come 3rd as long as robbie deans is head coach

I agree mate !!! Time for a change of coach it has never really worked !

The reds didn't look better than the lions, what game were u watching... Anyway, this lions team is weak. Very few players will be in the test team. Winning with this team will send out a very strong message to Australia. They are playing terribly right now and brumbies well, could be lions only loss. They won't lose to the wallabies!

U hav to remember this isn't there best team

This is probably our weakest selection we could of chosen

Ye our first team are class

Bring on zebo

Wade is class

How did he win that against 6'7 forwards?

The reds literally ran the lions pff their feet. They outplayed them in defence. As was shown by only letting in 1 try. They scored 2 tries. There scrum was solid enough. Your backrowers may as well have not played they were taken out of the game by our numbers at the breakdown. The only thing you guys beat us on is the lineout which was brilliant from the lions and poor from the reds which is odd because it is usually one of their strong points. You guys only won because of Leigh Halfpennys great boot. If we do lose this lions series it will be because of him. But we wont lose because our injured players are coming back and you guys just started to lose players. Tommy bowe was a big loss

U musts been watching a different game buddy lol

Talk all the shit you want Peter, when it comes to the test we'll see who shows up. You have really underestimated the lions squad.

What's everyone's predicted lions starting 15 the first test then??

Lions are going to win

Only 5 points

1. Mako Vunipola
2. Richard Hibbard
3. Adam Jones
4. Alun Wyn jones
5. Paul oconnell
6. O brien
7. Justin tipuric
8. Toby faletau
9. Mike Phillips
10. Owen Farrell
11. George North
12. Manu Tuilangi
13. BOD
14. Alex cuthbert
15. Leigh halfpenny

No jonny sexton instead of Farrell

Probably what I'd say, but I think heaslip is playing well for once, so I might put him at 8

O'Brien?!?!

Im from nz and this lions tour has been amazing, the team is brilliant, exciting an are playing the best rugby ive seen in soo long. Good going guys

Tipuric is playing far better than Warburton but warburton will play in the 1st test atleast since hes the tour captain and id have lydiate at 6

Vunipola
Hibbard
Jones
Wyn jones
Oconnell
Warburton
Tupuric
Healslip
Phillips
Sexton
North
Davies
BOD
Cuthbert
Halfpenny.

That's MY opinion.

I think Warburton will be 6 and tupuric 7 because how well that went in the six nation.

Is Warburton any good at 6?

Yeah he is. Absolutely ruined England in the six nations. Made robshaw look like a little boy. Warburton 6 and tupuric 7 is an awesome combo whenever it's been out together.

It's like having two 7s on the field

Warburton seems to be inconsistent. Where are you from Jacob?

Sexton is doing class he's just not kicking well and Farrell is doing shit but kicking well and halfpenny is kicking well so there is no need for Farrell to start

Wales. But my starting 11 is how I think Gatland will pick it (seeing as he's the welsh coach too) he knows how well Warburton plays alongside tupuric when both of them are on the field. Not a biased line up just how I think Gatland will choose.

Farrell seems to be easily shaken. It could be a focus point for the wallabies if hes selected. Sexton is calmer and as sean said, with halfpenny who is probably the best kicker in the world currently it wont matter if hes not kicking well?

Need to look at the bench ASAP. Sexton will be 10 surely

Tipuric should make the test seven because of his ball hunting and his skills set combined with his speed where as warburton is much stronger but not as pacey

Twelvetrees has been smashed all game

Vunipola
Hibbard
Jones

AWJ
POC

SOB
Warburton(c)
Heaslip

Phillips
Sexton

JD2
BOD

North
Zebo
Halfpenny

Youngs
Cole
Corbisiero
Gray
Tipiric
Youngs
Tuilagi
Hogg

(Hogg can cover 10,13 and back 3 on bech, Manu can cover centres and wing)

For me Farrell has proven again that he isn't quite upto it yet, a tour to soon I think, he will be a much better - near complete product in 4 years time
