Funniest line from Nisbo "now he looks to link up!"

It was Ardie Savea. No he doesn't.

Nisbo now sounds like a video game commentator where he just has a small number of phrases that get recycled

"Looks to link up"

"Now the race is on"

"Puts his foot down"

"Snapped up by"

@antipodean although if fit, those are likely the first 2 names...

Lions scrum 5m out results in a try. That's all your fault Christie.

For the first game perhaps. After that it's someone else's turn.

That would be funny if it weren’t almost certainly true.

Christie has managed to turn me off him in just 40 minutes of play. His passing was poor all half.

To be fair, it’s traditionally taken me much less than 40 minutes to turn others off.

@tordah said in Hurricanes v Lions:

Christie is so fucking shit, passes too low regularly

Although is that guy Booth on the reserves? His performance at McLean park was close to the worst performance from a 9 I've ever seen - Eaton level.

Bloody hell when is TJ back?

@shadowtrooper he's out for JUne series isnt he?

Great finishing by Lam.

And BLAM obliges us with a typical try scored in the corner

@taniwharugby said in Hurricanes v Lions:

Less of an issue as we have TKB for the bench.

Wait.

Ah fuck!

Gee Lam made that look easy.

What a kick!

@taniwharugby well that's pretty shite...

@shadowtrooper maybe there's another Barrett brother who can play 9?

Great try, awesome kick then mushroom head decides to give away a stupid penalty. Coach killer

@nepia Maybe they're finally going to try Dmac at halfback.

@taniwharugby Yeah, lol that would be good - if only! How quick is the production line....can we get a clone started

As he gets up he has that retarded face too . Deliberately lay on the wrong side for no reason.

This place would melt down if he was late to just one ruck ...

Probably better than having a scrumhalf who doesn't look before passing.

Lam showing all the skills.

Hat trick woot

Lam in again.

Even Fatty seems to be playing himself back into form.

And....wait for it...BLAM!

How bad are the Lions compared to last year!

Lam is a fucking machine

That is a magnificent team try. Contender for try of the year IMO.

man my stream is slow AF....Lam just scored.

@stargazer said in Hurricanes v Lions:

They lost to the Blues. At Ellis Park. Says it all.

So it's ok to grab and lift the half back, FFS

Extremely poor work from the Canes there. Christie would do well to clear the ball instead of waving arms and complaining, the little shit

Lam starting to look every bit like a test 11

Is it surprising that the opposition openside is having a whale of a game and really visible...

Julian with more turnovers than his brother.

Unkind bounce prevents Lam from getting another. I can't see how the selectors can leave him out against France.

Reiko Ioane?

@tordah he's obviously been watching some of Peter Stringers old games

Idiot Hurricanes should have taken the lineout there instead of the scrum, they're getting owned for a third time in a row. Stupid

Currently 2nd 5/8 & centre playing for the Blues. So that's him shot.
