Tarquin must of creamed his pants over that Lions performance.

No surprise Pulver survived. He played the internal politics and shored up his numbers. Doesn't change the reality that he needs to go. In the search for a Quality CEO, we should look away from business and focus towards professional sports management or high end public service. This is the...

Peta Credland. Tall timber and very aggressive. Let's get her into the national side.

I love Hunt being a 12 with strong direct running. I much prefer this than a crab that invades the space of his outside team mates. He plays his role in the side and does not transfer pressure to his team mates both in attack and defense.

It would be bonkers to replace Hunt at 12 with Beale. Hunt can actually defend as well as being handy in attack. Folau on the wing for DHP isn't a bad idea. I would be happy to see Hodge go to 15. That big boot then becomes an asset. For Italy I would like to see Cooper start. He showed...

Plenty of whinging and bitching on here. Well played Scotland and congrats on the win. Now can we please drop this risk adverse bullshit and test those selected in the squad.

If legacy is really important, I would be worried about this being remembered as the tour where the Lions struggled for wins. Honestly I think NZ will clean sweep the tests. Not a test played yet and only a 50% win record.

Just loving this old style tour stuff. These are great games to watch. No doubt NZ has the best rugby depth in the world but we knew that before the tour began. World Rugby needs to encourage these old style tours again. They are great for the game at all levels. I remember when the...

If the players in the squad are good enough to be there then they are good enough for serious game time. Cheika needs to show that faith in the players selected. Scotland are a good side and it's hardly like the sun shines out the Wallabies arse's is it? It's not about taking them lightly but...

I wouldn't make any forced changes but I think it is important that all squad players be given a run. I would like to see Cooper start. I only say that because we need some form and confidence out of him. Without it, behind Foley we're pretty screwed at 10. We Know what Hodge brings at 12...

Regarding boycotting the game. No easy answer here but it is easy to criticize the course of action when your team is not on the chopping block and is guaranteed certainty. Five Star Stu did what he thinks is right and I'm sure he didn't take the decision lightly. Keep doing what you think...

That wasn't a bad first hit out for the year. I think we have a real issue at 12 but not a negative one. Hunt looked good but him and Hodge are very different players but both quality. Hunt is more dangerous in attack but Hodge brings that fantastic long kicking game including for goal...

As long as Coetzee is coach, you're fucked. I don't think he could find his arse from a hole in the ground.

Very interested in the set piece battle for this one. Biggest test for the Lions to date. Crusaders will win this.

Gibson looks to be trying to get them playing Kiwi rugby. It is clear it doesn't come naturally to the players but I think that is his intent. I don't think size fits into their considerations like it tends to in Australia but more of a focus on technical ability and attitude to work on this...

Tarquin must be gutted.

No room for incompetence either. Fuck Styles off NOW. You want a pro setup, stop gifting critical positions to fucking amateurs. Somebody made these strategically poor decisions in this 'pro' setup. Fuck their incompetent arses off too.

I would like to see DHP at fullback and Folau go to the wing. DHP is safe and a far better kicking game and Falou a better attacking option.

I can't help feel Simmons has been made a scape goat for the Reds woes. As a Reds fan, this pisses me off. On the logic of the press release, why the hell have we not put Moore out to pasture when we have a promising future in Ready and Mafi? It simply isn't consistent. Moore has given very...

All the best to Simmons and cheers for years of honest and loyal service to the Reds and Wallabies. He has his critics for how he plays the game but it is hard to argue that he hasn't been a constant professional. Never been a dickhead in his career.
