Daly playing himself into the Test 15 shirt
Fascinated by this young chap, seems to be playing out of his skin. Its weird, there used to be an England player with the same name a few years back who couldn't catch, wasn't quick enough and had definitely had his day as an international player - funny that this chap has turned up with the same name and looking remarkably similar physically.

The good news for the wallabies is, they appear to be running the Irish "wrap to make space" back line.
Yeah, every Aussie team will be working on how to defend that.

Beckenham players age like a fine wine.
Reds in that position because they weren't solid with their exit. Don't be in your 22 doing fancy shit

All comes back to a casual pass from Seru
Been very ordinary
@mariner4life said in Reds v British Lions:
Lions with a huge talent disparity.
A gulf in fact.
Yes, they're Test players versus provincials, but the provincials have more time together which should make a difference.
And we've got a system that is paper thin for professionals

Not sure the lions backs were 5m behind the scrum...
Very rarely called for the attacking side at any level
Oh if that was a Reds player rugby on reddit would already have a "was this a missed card?" Post by now.
And some stupid Irish fluffybunny pontificating it was a straight red

Yeah, although it's not that often they're right next to the halfback.
@ACT-Crusader Reds losing their shape too, late arrivals to clean. Lions at test match intensity would have won a penalty there i reckon.

Lions showing a bit more in attack now lifting their intensity with players coming from deep and at pace. Reds defence is at 6s and 7s.
It's not as if I'm Nostradamus but I did call this. Still think score flatters Lions. So far.
Winger makes a great spot tackle but lightning ball. Geez this is impressive by the Lions, they're at training speed
Morgan has been very busy. Some good old fashion openside play, hitting rucks with some reckless abandon and even a couple from an extra wide gate…..
@ACT-Crusader perfect 7 play
Kiss not smart enough to stack his bench with forwards, so the Lions class disparity is becoming more obvious with more minutes.

And a try
He'll start a Test in one tactical combo or watch from the stands in another
Be interesting to see which game plan and which back row combo Farrell will start in Test 1
@mariner4life said in Reds v British Lions:
Reds loose forwards nowhere to be seen
Their backs have done more tackling and ruck hitting
Game is too fast for them.
I've played games like this, there's just nothing you can do when everyone on the other side is better than you.

6-2 bench split isn't it?
@KiwiMurph Reds with a short restart finally and they create a turnover. Who woulda thunk it!
