There's always a bit of pub chat on line 2011-15 NZ v 2019-23 RSA about who's the best. Much of it moot as both are happily double RWC winners. But the sheer consistency of NZ , 10 out last 13 TRC titles and near 90% win rate in all games ( 88%) during the 2010s has them a cut above imo.
As @gortoshay1.bsky.social says we never want to see a Brown Thomas meme again
A 5 month bookmark. Impressive 🫡
Was working today so had half an eye on laptop watching test. Well maybe more than half
Enthralling game, Aus needed to match their defence with the power they had with ball in hand.
Ran out of road when they power left pack. Lions winning when misfiring/18pts down. JGP, Genge, Beirne pick of bunch
I think your summation is fair , I just think Scott is the guy you bring on for Maro , who is unlikely to come off.

Ryan coming off early is just a precaution in case McCarthy doesn't make it. If Joe's fit, Ryan won't be in 23 imo
Interesting to see some players being asked to do things outside their comfort zone, like Stuart filling that role out on the 15m channel. I did think the Lions missed VDF in that link role out wide at times. Adv of playing regularly with coaches system
Aus attack so poor. Young Lynagh will get flack but there's no shape outside him
Massive by Beirne at counter maul.

Farrell, all his selections being justified.

Sorta knows what he's doing.
JGP Russell running the show.

The gripes online from Irish lads about a young Irish player getting called up is quite something. The veil of oh won't someone think of the other nations slips fairly quick.

Sadly this sort of snide stuff has been all too common on this tour. Particularly from the older, more established generation of hacks.
Never mind Wales,
Worst performance of the international window thus far , Justin Marshall.
Stats like that are only part of it.
To have him as Irelands joint worst forward!
Real ignorance on french depth and players that have dominated u20s for last 5 years
They just don't know most of french players names.
Ridiculously ignorant
All the kiwi media disrespect talk all looks a bit silly this morning.
