  4. Given the guests a wee advantage. Can see they’re already struggling with the altitude and intensity.

    The advertising they green screen on the far touch line takes the ball away quite often. It is a minor irritation but impossible not to notice.

    Given up, Refits link I couldn’t get rid of the nekked gels, and vip kept bouncing back 40 mins for a few seconds, in between freezing. May not be seeing a lot if this tour if links don’t improve :(
    From what I saw, Thaum, I thought Harris looked sharp, and Hoggy good defensively.

    Hoggy pencilled in, and Harris on the bench, maybe.

  40. That’s a statement of intent by the Lions. Not a vintage local Lions, it would now appear. Tackling has been iffy, but the visitors have been bloody good. Still 5 minutes to turn it around though!

    It looked to me that most of the penalties conceded by the B&I Lions were by English players – who’d have thought that?
