New Zealand vs The British and Irish Lions: 1st Test

 Now we await some more smug kbbs!! Hahhahahahahahahaha

Well done All Blacks.
The Lions were very competitive in the first half and hopefully they can pick themselves up from this but they need to improve their accuracy in pressure situations. Too many panicky passes and silly handling errors. 

 The Bok v AB games will be much better to watch. That's what I have concluded after seeing this game. 
The Lions fell into the same trap as many teams before them. Constantly kicking the ball away to the ABs. I doubt they'll change their strategy for the next game so expect more of the same. They'll probably just be told to be more accurate. Doesn't matter how accurate you are though. A kicki ng game without ridiculously strong lineout is never gonna beat this AB team. 
In the RC I think we'll see more line runs at the ABs. Not that the Boks will win, but at least we won't be sighing every five minutes when a nothing box kick is launched.
For my money, the best way to beat them is to deny them any ball. Box kicks are the opposite of that. They showed vulnerability when the Lions ran at them and conceded a try from 70m out. More of that is required.
Nice finishing by the ABs though in this game. 

 My commiserations to the Lions  and there fans ,and well done ABs !Beaudy can kick just fine thanks ,better than some other supposedly much better kickers .Gats should worry about his own selections and leave the ABs to Hansen and co thanks.The much vaunted NH scrum osnt really all that eh ? ABS know how to handle the rolling maul no probs .

 @WD As long as the Southern Hemisphere flag keeps flying high man. Having played a lot of sport in England I never liked their sporting mentality despite having huge respect for the Brits as a people. They are just way too pessimistic.
As long as rugby remains posh game over there we will always dominate them. And who gives a rat's balls about soccer...that meaningless game devoid of any true integrity? 
Be warned though. If the US begin to take rugby seriously, or even semi seriously...We are all screwed.
Good games ABs.

 The dream must go on. Lions smashed and humiliated on points they were supposed to be dominant.

Same train near to stop to SA. Better to load up the squad with quotas to explain why the SA team is going to go under.

A full white squad undergoing a loss would lead to the much needed termination of rugby in SA, the outcome to be avoided.

 Might be your end Draad???.  It show Beenos avatar and name next to that comment on my end.

 I see it's corrected now, lucky I copied it in time. WTF again!

 Dem pesky gremlins dude.

 Indeed.

 Well thank you Cloudy, but I have my darker days too.
