LIONS TOUR NZ 2017

[HERMAN BIX]

I must say, I really like the sound of 'Herman O'Bix"...
Enjoy the macho grappling, HB, and hope life has been kinder to you in recent times, than it was a wee while ago. This wish, of course, doesn't extend to the All Blacks trampling all underfoot

In perspective- thanks Mr 43RR, it would not be hard to improve on that

My guys are going out in 30 mins to balance the need to beat a touring legendary side, V's the need to win the Super Rugby crown .
Ive fitted newly painted 'pea-dot' camo helmets to my Jagdtiger, and I have the house to myself.................Jack Daniels to last a siege, and Moto GP & F1 to come later tonight...........................

Tomorrows going to be a loooooooong day !!

I was not going to say a word! Shame it was all down to the kicking.

Too too stressful, Shaun. We almost won a football match today; but in time honoured tradition somehow snatched a draw from the jaws of victory against the 'auld enemy'.. Hmmm.., well, my Dad's Mum was partly English..so I'd be entitled to celebrate with a minuscule G & T, before drawing solace from a massive dram of anguish crushing Malt....

Haa!!
If any justification was further needed, amazing what can be acheived by a team that is adjudicated over by a man that actually understands that its ok to play the game at pace, to need to be on side, and that a collapsing, distressed scrum is not one that is "Illegally Wheeled"

I have no idea other than some IRB plot, that would afflict Gods game with inept northern-dour style refereeing to support a dour style play, with stupifyingly bizarre decisions..................
Ole mate the French Ref must have been growing up with the mission to make us pay for beating them in finals!!
Tonight he was linesman, and he likely struggled with that-game was too fast !!

Highlanders with most All Black Reps out................and a good ref.................Lions turned to 'pussy-cats'
Crusaders should get another crack at them ..........this time without the 'Tricolor Rope' hobbling one leg.

More than merely a game

I'm feeling slightly disorientated. The Scots have beaten the Aussies There's nothing heroic in that at all! Losing well, or going down fighting, is surely the aim isn't it ? maybe the Aussies will have to get used to that outlook now....

Go the Scots I say bloody great to watch and in some way goes to amend that terrible mistake that knocked them out of the world cup, not their mistake, but the at the time worlds best Ref's.
I can say that the Wallabies have lost the genuine respect for the jersey and what it really means to play for your country.

As for the Lions, well, where has THAT been on tour ??
The hapless MAB team went in thinking it was another flashy-super type game, only to be controlled by genuine and intense 'test match mentality'
For me, Mr Halfpenny is THE single most valuable player out of the UK at the moment, hes just superb.

It bodes well for a classic contest next Saturday. One that could rank through the ages as an epic.
But....................thats up to the man in the middle eh.
