I thought that I'd start a thread so that I can collate all my moans in one place.
Feel free to join me.

Do you feel the lions are going for size over style?

Gatland is very much a proponent of that type of rugby. They just look very uncoordinated at the moment. Certainly not impressed by the half-backs but I guess that has little impact on the Test team as Sexton is nailed on to start. Fingers crossed for no injuries. |

I wonder if Fotuali'l has a British grandparent.

Another win for the Lions; another very disjointed performance.
I really can't see any shape or pattern to the Lions at present.
There were some individual flashes and the scrum, helped by the appointment of a French referee, looked dominant.

Reds played well but I'm not sure what we're going for as a style yet. It's almost as though Gatland will pick his best 15 players and then decide on tactics.

When did they become the ...and Irish Lions? They have always been a rugby team from the British Isles and completely apolitical.

I thought the Lions looked tired and purposeless and I have not sen anything to make me worry that my bet on Australia for the series is in danger. Making Warburton captain is looking increasingly dim as they look like they need Heaslip and Tipuric playing to give the team a style.

Try dropping the term "British Isles" into conversation in Dublin and you'll find out how apolitical it is. |

Try dropping the term "British Isles" into conversation in Dublin and you'll find out how apolitical it is. The point was that in rugby terms Ireland was united and the Irish team and the British Lions with Irish in it played throughout the troubles without any apparent controversy, so it seems a bit odd to have changed the name when peace had broken out. Anyway I obviously missed it happening so it shows how much attention I pay to rugby. |

Have we picked a team with no fly halves on either the pitch or the bench?

Stuart Hogg played fly-half today.
Combined Country XV 0 - Lions 64
Not sure if anything can be gained from the match but at least no more serious injuries.
