Bubsa Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Or maybe meow? I can't call this series. My heart says Lions, obviously, but New Zealand just define class. McCaw, Mauger, Gear...they just don't need training. It's a good thing we have Lewsey. If he's injured = game over. I think the Lions can do it, 'lick their wounds' from the previous tour if you will. PS: Don't laugh at our anthem >.< We know it sucks. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you.

____ Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 As much as I'd like to support the Lions, I really don't see them winning. So I'm just going to assume the Kiwi's are going to kick [wagon] and go on with life :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubsa Posted June 25, 2005 Author Share Posted June 25, 2005 Well...we were murdered. Credit where it's due, New Zealand were far better. But the Lions were the masters of their own downfall. Byrne, Steven Jones, Peel... can't see them playing again. Now Hill and O'Driscoll are out too. Spiffo. I see him putting Cusiter or Dawson at 9, Wilko 10, Henson 12, but who 13? Greenwood maybe, possible D'Arcy or even Horgan. But either Horgan or D'arcy may get Robbo's place. But that could go to Shanklin or Cueto. Either way, I said they'd lose the 1st and win. So I'm counting on that. I'm right 61% of the time this year, most notably the Liverpool comeback :P This would be on the same magnitude now. But well done New Zealand. I like how the Lions respected the haka, but after that the passion just went away. McCaw and Jack though..crikey. What any team would give for them. This is how much you all raised for charity.

Bpob Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Wow, jeez it was cold but it was worth it heh, I was at the game to watch us destroy the lions it was great :D . Even with the wet conditions that were supposed to suit you, we managed to come out the stronger. We killed your lineout, had the advantage on your scrum and run circles around your backs, although injuring O'Driscoll was useful :P Can't wait till Wellington for hopefully some dry weather and another All Black's victory.

Bubsa Posted June 25, 2005 Author Share Posted June 25, 2005 I wouldn't say you murdered the scrum. Maybe when we had a man in the bin you did for 10 minutes. It was because Peel kept smegging up it looked like you were putting pressure. Hehe, hope you haven't got hail between your ears. :P This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you.

Ne0z Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Both teams played pretty poorly, lots of stupid kicking and knock on's etc, it was pretty even. But in the end the all blacks were the better team, i just hate it how doug howlet rarely got the ball, Hes an awsome player when given the oppurtunity but thats unlikely. Dan Carter also had an awful game, heaps of his kicks were getting charged etc, and i have to say when o'drisscol got injured i was like :shock: , first minute into the first game and hes out with a dislocated shoulder :? Also, i feel that the lions were needing gaven henson, johnny shoulda stayed at 1st five. :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubsa Posted June 25, 2005 Author Share Posted June 25, 2005 Sivivivivavavavoom is a hell finisher though, just like Howlett. And you were getting heaps of luck with kicks and stuff, but the Lions never looked like winning. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you.

Phyllarski Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Why the lions would fill their team with old rubbish England players is beyond me. Wales grand slammed the 6 nations and were hardly represented, how Hensen didn't get a start is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjlhdevil Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 , to say when o'drisscol got injured i was like :shock: , first minute into the first game and hes out with a dislocated shoulder :? That was utterly digraceful by the NZ boys, they just picked him up and slammed him on his neck, even more disgraceful is they didn't get any ban at all.

Bpob Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Mmm i agree, i thought we were lucky to get away with no bans from the O'Driscoll incident, didn't look fair to me, not that im complaining :P. And who bites someone? Whats he out for? I heard could be up to a year although i doubt it. Heck i thought when we came here with 47 players he was bringing way too many, but you must be down a few by now. I dont see why Woodward would play so many Englanders either, last year they came down for a two test series and lost by about 20 points on both occasions, its like he wanted to loose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubsa Posted June 27, 2005 Author Share Posted June 27, 2005 Heh. I wouldn't call him weak, but compared to Mealumu and Umaga, two massive scary maories, I see your point :shock: SCW just isn't looking at what the tour's about. He's making petty arguements, listening to Alistair Campbell, ignoring judgement. He's no lion, he's a hyena. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you.

Bubsa Posted July 2, 2005 Author Share Posted July 2, 2005 That sucked. Teh big one. Henson and Williams were just awful, both were responsible for tries. The referee simply had no clue, responsible for missing knock ons, missing NZ holding on to the ball numerous times, charging people after the kick, losing control of player behaviour. Absolutely shocking, worse than Venter in the final of the RWC. Take away those 3 men and the Lions would have been ahead. Then we wouldn't have seen the Carter show at the end, who was just sublime. Well, atleast the Lions were not the only dual nation team. Congratulations, the Pacific Islanders win the series. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you.

my_pet_worm Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 the referee had his mind somewhere else half the time, thinking anout Fiji or something probaly :? anyway, we still won so w00t w00t!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ne0z Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 the referee was bad, missed so much of the lions stuff, i think the lions were responisble for alot of the fighting, all the stomping etc, and that number 3 just couldnt controll him self. Although the all blacks did have a few stuff ups, the lions had more . Either way it was an awsome game, best game ever. Dan carter played awsome, so did tana and jerry collins, richie mccaw and all the boys played awsome and came away with the end result ( a bloddy thrashing ) 48 - 18 :lol: I bet all those lions supporters are feeling a bit bummed, although as woodward said at the end of the game, the better team won. I dont think the lions stood a chance to win against the all blacks on this tour at the start. From the first match against the npc teams i knew they wernt good and they were all just talk. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the ref made a few bad calls, but its not like they were all in our favour. As far as Henson went, where did he go :P? I barely saw him the entire match, your hooker couldnt control himself, but in saying that you owned us at the start and had me worried you were looking good. I'm just glad the series is over and just because a lot of pacific islanders live here and happen to be good at rugby doesn't mean you can winge about it :P , you cant say you wouldn't take them if there was a bunch of islands up near you.
