Rishworthian 166 Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 sounds like it - he dummies over head to get his space - clever and instinctive bordering on genius 1 Link to post Share on other sites
DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Not strictly Lions related, but Former Lion (tried to link it) Joe Marler has done a really good documentary on his struggles with mental health. It's pretty eye opening as he rarely comes across as someone who struggles, but I suppose that's the exact barrier It's trying to break. The barrier being everyone is susceptible.

DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Sinkler has been called up to the Lions squad to replace Porter. So after all the talk of being surprised a Sinkler/Genge missed out, he's now in via an injury. Link to post Share on other sites

Humpty 3,238 Posted June 26, 2021 Author Share Posted June 26, 2021 First up Japan @ Murrayfield I don’t think it’s officially been designated a test but it’ll be interesting to see how this Lions team set out. Link to post Share on other sites

I missed the game and haven't had a chance to catch up yet. Saw AWJ badly dislocated his shoulder. Must admit having Murray as new captain is a weird one in my opinion. Think Biggar would have been the perfect choice, since coming to Saints his game (and leadership) has really elevated. Link to post Share on other sites
Humpty 3,238 Posted June 29, 2021 Author Share Posted June 29, 2021 Farrell all day for me. Not selecting his as captain casts doubt as to whether he’s actually going to start at 12 now. Don’t see him starting at 10. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
smogsterking the Inspirati 2,453 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Josh Adams a massive omission from the opening test. He's been a monster so far on the tour and doesn't seem to be due to an injury. AWJ starts as well my big concern is he will have a big target on him given his lack of match sharpness going into it.

Think the team is pretty much what I expected if I consider how I think we'll play. Only proper surprises are 15 and 11 for me, thought he may have started Williams and Adams first test, that said Hogg and Duhan aren't exactly poor stand ins. AWJ is a surprise given the short turnaround from him getting injured to being fit. As you say he'll (and his shoulder) definitely be targeted by the South African pack. That said really looking forward to it and glad to see Saints have 2 starters! Link to post Share on other sites
DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 As expected South Africa fairly dominant in the scrum so far. Think their front 3 is about 6-10cm shorter than ours which is interesting in terms of the dominance. Link to post Share on other sites
DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Curry just got pinged for a bit of a silly late tackle...South Africa just extending the scoreboard now. Lions need to reign it in a little bit and stop the momentum, we really can't afford to give them a big lead. Link to post Share on other sites
