Wonder if AlexD (what does the ‘D’ stand for I ponder?) read the above AB/SA post? Not bluudy lightly. Show him up for the jingoist he is I expect.

And he reckoned that the Lions pack with its English core & Welsh flankers will frighten the AB’s. Not likely. Not on this last performance it won’t.

There are no guarantees in rugby & all are entitled to their opinions. However, unless they are predicated, opinions, they’re simply empty rhetoric.

My original ? was about HOW the Lions will seek to beat NZ, because I am actually interested to know. Nothing to do with AB ‘cheer leading’. No need is there, at present?.

And when EJ states there’s no pt in copying the AB’s, this raises the ? of what is there to copy? Attack when is possession & defend when not? Well, I’d have thought so as what else is there?

Limiting yrself to a set piece & defence (which is what Eddie opines is England’s current state)? What of the attack? Surely every team must offer more than the aforementioned in order to be better or best, incl, esp, the Lions, surely?

I can confirm it is extremely frustrating being a Gloucester fan right now. Some terrible decision making, poor discipline and just inexplicably switching off at key moments. Hoping the European break can help us gain some momentum but looking at our fixtures in November this poor start to the AP season could well continue!
