CHARMING
I am neither a rugby fan or a Kiwi so obviously not terribly interested in a practice session between two teams that will likely never line up like that again.
I only commented about (England) rugby fans spending ALL their time moaning about referees.
Now BOTH sides are complaining about how they are going to get DIDDLED and there hasn't even been a Test ball kicked yet.
Now pull your head in, stop moaning and enjoy the game on Saturday.
I might even watch but don't really have a preference for a winner.

So where is the ponce Sven? at least EAH has the balls to come on here, and take his whipping with a small bit of dignity!!! EAH and Sven you both slatted me a couple of weeks ago when I said "The refs" will decide these tests, I am still calling this, and after the first test one side or the other will blame the ref, Its the nature of the styles of rugby, they are so different. After watching the South African ref pull the AB up on a lot of minor infringements, which an Aussie ref would of let them get away with. I'm lumping on the lions to win the first test.

I've told you before about Mark Reason NS.
He's a bitter and twisted failed English journo who lives in NZ these days and writes clickbait articles designed to generate comments.
He's not said a single good thing about the AB's in the last 6 years I've been back here. Not one thing.
In fact, he's probably a bit like you would be, if you could string a coherent sentence together, and stop telling stories about how good you USED to be.

The whole world know that the Kiwis are the worst cheaters of the lot.
And it appears that they're the biggest excuse making cunts as well.

I agree, they were blocking the chasers.
Of course, the chasers were ALL in front of the kicker originally, so it shouldn't have even been an issue.
That's been a problem with the Lions all tour. You watch any of the highlights (such as they are) where you see Murray or Laidlaw box kicking, and the blindside winger is ALWAYS in front of him.
I'm really not sure why the refs aren't pinging them, likewise with the offside in the backline. Just about every single time. "Rush defence" yeah right.
No excuses. We should still beat you 3-0, and I'll be disappointed if we don't, but it won't be the end of the world. I'd rather lose to the Lions, than to England.

I see the potential excuses are being laid down already - poor refereeing, cheating, infringements etc.
You lot are the worst (or best?) in the world at blocking kick chasers. The Chiefs were correctly pinged a couple of times for it today and let's hope the ref has the balls to do it on Saturday as the AB's will be doing it all game.

What a pathetic mingebag you are, Jonah, getting excuses in early just IN CASE you lose.
NZ should, and probably will, win 3-0, but you're so much of a flannel that you're getting excuses ready because the Lions have looked like they're getting a bit of momentum to give a slight bit of hope of an upset.
Mind you, we really should expect that from a man who coaches WOMEN'S INDOOR CRICKET.

I just hope Peyper shows some balls and starts pinging the Lions for their constant infringements all over the park.
At least let it come down to who is the best team playing the best rugby on the night
Not who is offside the most, who can get away with the most chasers in front of kicks, who can get away with the most illegal blocking, scrummaging and mauling, and who can generate the most penalties.
I know that's the NH way, but it's fucking dire rugby, and I genuinely can't believe how many of you lap it up.
Not when you've seen that your players can legitimately score decent tries.
