Sir Ian McGeechan will (hopefully, if allowed) be watching from hospital after falling ill earlier today:

Get well soon, Geech.

Official MetService forecast for Wellington...

Luckily not being played at Athletic Park. Wind and rain.

ABS v Springboks Athletic Park 1921

 

[Strewthcobber]

Hasn't hit last weeks quality so far. Lots of drop ball and other errors. Conditions playing their part

 

[Strewthcobber]

Farrell is going to have an absolute hell of an evening if these tactics keep up. Aiming everything down his way

 

[Dctarget]

Big call from mate Jerome. This will keep the pages turning.

Also won't be helping the conversation about SBW's good boy attitude earlier.

Don't know if I completely agree with red, but I appreciate the balls on a man who can call a red in a match like this.

 

[Dctarget]

Haha holy fuck, taking off the other Jerome on the field for Laumape. I love seeing their tactics like this. Obviously just to flood Farrell's channel.

 

[Chunderstruck]

Looked horrible on the replay, don't think he had any choice with the red. Shame for the game

correct call indeed. SBW is a doofus

 

[William88]

Could be a game changer.

NZ in their shell a bit.

Playing wet weather footy.

 

[Brumby Jack]

Can't argue with red

Some will (prob not here). They shouldn't.

Yeah no other option, wouldn't be surprised if he gets a few weeks off for that.

The turns his back and walks away from the referee when being spoken to. What a narcissist.

 

[cyclopath]

Unfortunately for SBW, the cameras are always there when he "gives" someone something.

 

[The torpedo]

Re: SBW - absolutely correct call to show him the tomato slice. Had time to pull out of the shoulder charge, should have seen contact with head was possible, and no arms. 4 weeks in the stands minimum.

 

[Upthenuts]

we are still in this go ABs. second half
beat these bastards

 

[The torpedo]

correct call indeed. SBW is a doofus

You can take the man out of the league, but you can't take the league out of the man

 

[zer0]

Williams you potato. I don't think that's even legal in the NRL these days.

Time to reduce this test to a dog fight and bank on the Bogan and friends being more likely to produce the requisite try scoring magic than the Lions backs.

Well shit. If ABs lose by a couple, we will still claim it as a moral victory. If ABs win, then Gatland may not want to read a newspaper ever again.
