First Nations & Pasifika XV vs the Lions - Tue, Jul 22 @ 8:00 PM, Melbourne

[The 6 Seat]

Lions lacking a bit of grit right now. I agree with PhilClinton completely. If they had 1/100th of the fight that Johnson or someone like O’Driscoll did they would we whacking these lads.

 

[PhilClinton]

This game is the first in about 10 years where I feel like we may actually see a proper scrap

 

[The 6 Seat]

Maul defence has been absolutely phenomenal right now. Uru and Salakaia-Loto all over it.

 

[Ignoto]

Someone should tell the Ref it doesn't matter how many half calls he gives the home nations, they still won't let Georgia in the 6 nations.

 

[Backintheolddays]

What has happened to the Lions scrum. Awful I love. Would make a tremendous difference in next test if they actually penalised the lazy Lions at the ruck and offside rush defence.
First Nations Pacifica playing magnificently.

 

[Heavyd]

Daugunu's just been absolutely potatoed. Debreczeni on, presumably to fullback?

Waratahs should sign Debreczeni. We need him at 10.

 

[The 6 Seat]

Someone sign this First Nations lineouts coach now!

I'm more interested in their defensive coach

A strong pack + a big boot solves 90% of problems you face in rugby.

 

[Adam84]

Lions didn’t release the tackled player or roll away, so how you supposed to enter the ruck through the gate

 

[The 6 Seat]

Why would you kick that!!!!!

 

[Micheal]

Why would you kick that!!!!!

He was running out space and he was out of support. Not the worst option IMO

 

[Tomthumb]

Why did he kick that!?

 

[Derpus]

Finally someone picks off an out the back play. Its their go to move every time.

 

[The 6 Seat]

Proper rugby that is. FNP look hungry for it! Thats the way you do it. These lads look like they want to play for the Wallabies. The physicality has shocked the home nations out of their structure.

 

[LeCheese]

He was running out space and he was out of support. Not the worst option IMO

Yep, completely isolated. Would've been an immediate turnover if he went to ground. Right option to keep it alive.

 

[Upthemaroon!]

Shoulder charges are so back

 

[molman]

Boys. Who isn't enjoying this game. Come on FNP!

 

[Uh huh]

Sadly the FNP bench is a big step down, and some of the forwards are already looking a little gassed.

Meanwhile the Lions are getting away with murder as usual.

 

[PhilClinton]

There’s a bitta QLD origin vibes about this FNP team - playing together with a greater purpose. That’s where the extra defensive efforts come from.

Also never forget 8 in row.
