British and Irish Lions Tour 2013

First half was awful I thought, too many mistakes. Farrell has no game.

Both Phillips and Murray impressed me today. Oh and of course Jamie Roberts

Rocokoko bless him, he still got it - somewhat

Rocokoko was the only Baa Baa with any energy left at the 70 minute mark haha

Yeah!

I just thought it was a poor performance I expected a lot more after seeing the six nations match England vs Wales

To be fair to them it's their first game together, so as I see it it's only up from here

One can hope BaBa's aren't exactly the hardest team they will be playing against
