    @ Ben-die-Bul:
    “That was just excellent rugby… the type of game we rugby nutters live for!!”

    An excellent Test Match for sure Groot.

    Lions came to play, and hats off to them. “The Sea of Red” in the Stands at Eden Park, was something to behold. Lions Tourists the Best Rugby Supporters ever.

    This Lions Team will be better for this game. Expect better next week. Liam Williams try will be a contender for IRB Try of Year.

    That’s a great win by the Fijians.
    Scotland has been in good form of late.

    For sure cane. Scotland had climbed to 5 in the world after beating Aus, think losing to Fiji who are quite a way back on rankings will hurt Scotland’s position but maybe a little less with it being an away game.
