LIONS TOUR NZ 2017

[HERMAN BIX]

Lions and Hurricanes played out an incredibly hot and ill tempered draw tonight.
I swear that both teams are getting over the lackluster French referees.
It builds so much frustration.

Fair score though, but the lions got 2 lucky loose opportunities.

The A ll Blacks will(mark my words) suffer badly in the next Test.
The French numpties will have to make scrums simple enough for them to understand & allow the Lions to rest during the breakdowns, so they can rest.

Not that Im looking forward to it with steely determination or anything

That was a an absolute certainty,
With weather like that it was a typical wet cold fixture on any Saturday in Yorkshire Or Wales Or Scotland Or Ireland.
We might have been thousands of miles from GB but to all intents and purposes it was a home game.
And typically far closer than it needed to be.
Shaun.

Well done Lions
Disgusting let down by show pony Bill Williams, that rubbish is exclusive to the League not Union and our guys paid for it.
As for the last penalty, that's a lottery.
The player jumped out of a tackle and our guy gets penalised for taking a player in the air!
So, with that in mind, each time any player goes into contact if he jumps, it's a dead cert penalty to his side.

I've alienated my family, ruined a surprise desert, and am
Not approachable .
Tomorrow will be an equally bad day.

Hope your happy Williams the first All Black in 50 years to be sent from the field in a Test match.

Piss off. Ack to the NRL where they still get off on shit like that.

Good thing you don't take it out on your Tanks, Herman . For some reason, Michael Palin comes to mind with the "Ripping Yarn" about 'Barnstoneworth', the worst football team in the North of England; but with the most stoic of supporters (Palin).
Whenever his team loses- which is every time it plays- he returns home to beat up an old mantle clock, which is carefully patched up every week by an understanding wife.

Fair to say after all these years, She finally advised me I had overstepped the mark.
I have been impossible to be around, and in a negative/aggressive mood.
She knows this is what could be seen as 'normal behavior' but not to this level, and not what shes willing to tolerate...........
I got a yellow card and dont i know it............

But you know what ?

Thats what true passion is
Thats what being an All Black disciple is
Thats why its more than just a game

Thats why I tell my little girls that they can be anything they want in this world they want to be, except an All Black.

Thats why it hurt
Thats why I cannot be around people that ask, "So, how was that game ?"
It was wonderful ya retard, Im so happy I could shit a roll of barbed wire & not notice ...............

So.............."VIVE-LA-FRANCE"..............man of the match performance
The series a nothing

Except for the fact that northern refs cannot cope with pace, and the rules of the game.
Seems to me that we are always paying the price for being the best, and for the likes of Wanker-Wayne Barnes & his other northern mates taking turns to try & spoil things at every opportunity.

For me a defeat is a disgrace, and a draw a defeat............

I'm a mongrel, half Welsh, a bit of Scottish, and whatever the mix English is made from, probably some Italian, Danish and French from way back lol.

So, on that, I'm probably more Welsh than anything. I used to follow and admire the Welsh Rugby team, then they sort of lost it for ages and ages, I was so pleased for them when they made a recent come back, and gave proper competition.

Mick.

A few observations on British ancestry. The 'Normans' (as the name suggests) were Scandinavian in origin, not French. The Danes and the English (anglo-saxons) are closely related; indeed all the indigenous groups in Britain (even the English)
share common ancestry with all other North European population groups, and the majority of those who consider themselves 'English' (including expatriates and exports), or Germanic, still share a genetic legacy from the ancient Britains (Picts, Celts and 'Beaker' folk). What's more, all Europeans and Asians share up to 5% of their legacy DNA with Europe's original Neanderthal inhabitants (interestingly, Sub-Saharan Africans 0%).
Maybe it's our 'caveman' neanderthal ancestry that makes us stomp around, and make uncomfortable company for the family, when our team loses !
In fact, this bullish Neanderthal stereotype is probably based on myth. They probably had bigger brains than we have, and didn't walk around in knuckle-dragging fashion, dragging the spouse by her hair
In reality, they probably did cryptic crosswords on the cave walls when they lost the (inflated) bladder kicking match against a neighbouring tribe.
