Morgan best on ground?

Morgan staking a big claim to be the starting 7 for the Lions.

It’s all about the test matches and the Brumbies game.

The Lions put on a couple of cricket scores vs some of the Saffa teams on the last two tours.

Hilarious that no one will watch the Brumbies game

@mariner4life I'm starting at 2pm that day as it's a mate's birthday. I'm certain very few of us will be in a state to remember much, if anything, of the game.

How is that a deliberate knock on

That's not deliberate dipshit

mate I do that bullshit "accidental in the tackle" every week at touch.

I wasn't impressed by Fin Smith at 10 when he came on. Doubt he'll start, nor will Bundee Aki on that performance.

Daly at fullback staking a claim.

Dodge

hope Daly recovers as the full back / wing cover behind him outside the squad looks pretty thin to say the least.

@Dodge said in Reds v British Lions:

I can't watch today and am listening to TalkSport, which Ben Kay is doing his best to turn into a listenable version but the commentator is appalling, no idea where the ball is on the pitch, who's got it, what's happening, he thinks he's a summariser on TMS.

Therefore any fuller descriptions of incidents would be appreciated

Are you sure it wasn't Miles Harrison?

Seen some highlights. The Reds were fast out of the blocks, but the Lions were too powerful, too strong and had far more options than the Queenslanders. It was a bit of a rout in the end. Itoje and Morgan were outstanding. The Lions are starting to purr.

The way the Lions playing they got to have Russell at 10 with Marcus Smith as back up. By gees they playing some attractive rugby to watch. I didn't really see them running up 50 on the Reds, but looked to desrve it.

Lara Pitt is the Australian rugby league equivalent.

Though without the grating voice.
