The Lions were beaten but put up one hell of a performance for a scratch side. New Zealand are just too good right now. Given a year or two to prepare The Lions might be able to beat them...... maybe, in one test in NZ. Given two years preparation and home advantage we might win a series.

First half was good but fell off awfully in the second. Fantastic try from our own 22, really one for the archives. The NZ breakaway try meant the score flattered the ABs a bit but the Lions gave way too much away in penalties, turnovers and unforced errors to be in with a serious chance. That is the reality of playing as a Tour side but if they can iron those out in the coming weeks then they really have a chance of getting a Test win which is no mean feat away to the ABs.

NZ's play is continuously astonishing though. From 1 - 23 their handling skills and rugby brains are up there with the best of the NH playmakers. It really is such an asset.
 
Going to go to hospital later.

Thursday night get firey flue like feeling in my chest and wind pipe.

Gone next morning.

That night get painful glands in my neck, almost like someone's squeezing my throat a bit.

Wake up tonight feeling like ive been punched in the gut, painful glands in my neck, and strangest of all, an unscratchaboe itch on my neck.

7 weeks this crap's gone on for now.

Good luck in getting to the bottom of it and getting it sorted.

Try to keep as positive as possible. 15 years ago I got ill and nobody seemed to be able to understand what it was. Eventually, it was diagnosed as a systemic yeast infection. It ****ed my body up no end (I had trouble breathing and digesting food), was sweating profusely, passing out and I lost 4-5 stones in just over 3 months. I'd never heard of it and had no idea that I was allergic to yeast.

More worryingly, a whole load of doctors were clueless as well. Eventually you'll get to someone who knows exactly what it is. The bloke who diagnosed my illness did it just from my notes. He didn't even need to see me.

Close call i reckon.

Got a lot of time for gadot.

What did you think of the movie ?

I actually thought it was pretty good. Several lols, and even had a decent and interesting philosophical view of humanity behind it.

Everyone enjoyed it.
Spoiled a tad by the scenes with Zeus (David Thewlis) getting a bit bonkers near the end.

FI got interesting today although it highlighted the ridiculous management of the safety car system where a race leader with a big lead can lose all that advantage for something nothing to do with them!!!

And Vettel showing some Trump-like traits in his ridiculous version of events with the Incident with Hamilton....... Accused him of 'brake-testing', causing the shunt despite the officials proving this was not the case!
Should be banned for his dangerous driving, but only gets a 3pt penalty.

I'm no expert but how did Lawes and Itoje get left out?
And Joseph and North for that matter?

Kruis had pretty much the form lock in the Lions squad since his return from injury, and Alun Wyn Jones was given the start for experience. North has been well below his best for a while and Gatland prefers Davies over most 13s so was always going to get the pick, rightly or wrongly.

I think he'll pick Kruis and Itoje at lock for the second test, and keep the midfield and back 3 players, but maybe in a different combination. Sexton for Farrell maybe, and reshuffle the back row.
 
Slovakia's Prime Minister has called for a UEFA investigation into the outcome of the Germany v Italy game in the U21 Championships. Come on mate, it's not as if there's a history of bribery and corruption in football in either of those countr.....

Oh yeah, but UEFA to investigate? **** me, he's desperate.
