Dunno if you watched the Munster game Nev, but that was next level ****housery from Hendrikse in the shoot out.

Very poor.

I did….. Saffer…… whatever it takes!

[Buzzo]

There’s just no honour in cheating like that.

Fair play to Crowley for slotting his kick.

Glasgow left as the only good guys who can still win the trophy! Leinster do not look invincible Scarlets ran them close.

I would say that's Australia.

How is it cheating? No rules against having treatment for cramps. I would say it's unnecessary, maybe stupid but there's no way that's making any difference to a kicker at this level. Such a huge overreaction.

Welcome back Zap , Aussies will always Aussie….. it was the wink that showed he was faking it. Didn’t matter in the end but it wasn’t gentlemanly

Hey mate not seen you on here for ages.

He didn’t have cramp he was 100% trying to get into Crowley head. It didn’t work, but it could have - it was pure ****housery.

[Zapater]

Thanks gents. I've been lurking, as always.

I'm in the process of making some life decisions before I turn 40. Spent the last few months in Europe and it's likely I will stay. I also think some of the negativity among posts in the football section, despite us winning the league puts me off posting a little.

[Buzzo]

100% mate. There is precious little space for enjoyment in the footy threads.

[Irishnev]

Zander F ruled out, Findlay B in as replacement. Tadgh F a big doubt as well

[Buzzo]

Feel for him, by his own admission he wasn’t ready last tour but I reckon he’d have challenged for. Starting place this time and would defo have been capped.

First “test” on Friday night, I bought two tickets a year ago on spec after being successful as part of a Lions member draw. Decided against going done weeks back as it was a big too much hassle and I couldn’t align it with a bigger trip home

Gave them to a mate for face value and will watch from Riga tomorrow night as we are taking a city break there for 4 days

[Sus]

Looking forward to it! Will be a good test to start with

[Buzzo]

Shame there’s so many players unavailable for both teams. Argentina could give the Lions a real test having beaten the boks, all blacks and aussies in the past 12 months but with a fair few players missing - Im not so sure!

[Buzzo]

Lions looking very much like a scratch team in the 1st half.

[Buzzo]

Win for Argentina.

Be a decent game to have missed for some, could be the toughest game the Lions have in the build up. Just a bit disjointed throughout really. Never got control of game at 9 and 10 imo.

Lions points in second half came when Pumas were a man down.

[Sus]

Lions looked good at times in attack, but lacked a bit of structure in defence. No surprises there I guess

But quite a bit of encouragement to take out of it

And remember, the Wallabies are a bit **** at the moment - it’s not like they are playing the 2x world champions at home
