Sorry!... All Blacks is going well. Keep it up! About time the Poms got back to where they belong.

368538 2005-07-02 12:57:00 Sir Clive will call a media conference on Monday complete with audio-visual presentation which will piont out a few of the following facts:-
The floodlights were all aimed at the Lions eyes and away from the All Blacks
The grass was too green and made the Irish players homesick and put them off their game.
The name on the ball was different to what Wilkinson was used to and put him off.
The All Blacks shirts were reflective and caused Henson to pay too much attention to his reflection checking his hairstyle.
All the above were devious All Black plots to disadvantage an obvious superior Lions team

368539 2005-07-02 13:08:00 You sure did, Greg.
Good result.

Not so good commentary.

I got fed up with the obviously one-sided snide remarks from the TV3 team. Wondered how we'd react to a similar Brit commentary about the All Black's performance..?
Hopefully this bunch's remarks didn't go any further than NZ. Otherwise we're all painted with the same biased unsporting brush.
There's a lot to be said for using proper sports reporters like Keith Quinn or John MacBeth, rather than former All Blacks.
Or didn't it bug anyone else?

368540 2005-07-02 21:01:00 It annoyed me too LAURA.But even worse is the ignominy I feel as a pongolian on such a rotten show from the reds.
That Clive fellow has to go. :groan:

368541 2005-07-02 22:23:00 Being Scottish born I had high hopes the Lions would front up last night and make a game of it and I think they did.
But such was the performance from The All Blacks and I don't think any team on the planet would have come close.
It was probably the most complete performance I have seen from any AB team in the 30yrs I have been watching them.
They dominated in every area of the game and took s..t from no one.

Bring on the Ozzies!

368542 2005-07-02 22:26:00 I thought he was going soon, anyway - to coach that game played with the round ball?
Doubt you'll get rid of him before this tour ends, though...

Hmm... not quite quick enough. That was of course for Cicero.

368543 2005-07-02 22:38:00 WooHoo!
Good match, but the announcers were so bad that we were wondering if we could turn them off and just keep the sounds of the game.

Some of the comments were utterly stupid, all eyes to mouth stuff bypassing the brain.

368544 2005-07-02 23:24:00 The radio commentators are far superior - if I'm watching a game live, I prefer to listen to the radio while watching the TV. The TV commentators are AB-focused and IMO 100% lame. But let's not detract from another splendiferous AB vistory! andrew93 (249)
368545 2005-07-03 04:26:00 As anticipated in WFTWE, a pretty scranny performance by an elumbated bunch of Poms.

Outstanding performance by the ABs though, but it'll be hard to maintain that standard for next week.

Cheers
