    Some crowd at this Argie game. Good game as well. Looks like River Plate..

    Brilliant result for Scotland earlier as well. Taped it but no watched it back yet. Probably the morra..

    Scotland looked good today nice progression under the new coach
    Impressive by a weakened England as well winning 2-0 away in Argentina is good so far play to them

    Good win for the Lions dirt trackers but I wasn't expecting much from that Chiefs side, very much second string.

    ^^ Great team, dead favourites to win in my book.

    English, Welsh & Irish Lions team:

    Backs: Liam Williams (Wales); Anthony Watson (England), Jonathan Davies (Wales), Ben Te'o (England), Elliot Daly (England); Owen Farrell (England), Conor Murray (Ireland).

    Forwards: Maka Vunipola (England), Jamie George (England), Tadhg Furlong (Ireland); Alun Wyn Jones (Wales), George Kruis (England); Peter O'Mahony (capt, Ireland), Sean O'Brien (Ireland), Taulupe Faletau (Wales)

    Replacements: Ken Owens (Wales), Jack McGrath (Ireland), Kyle Sinckler (England), Maro Itoje (England), Sam Warburton (Wales), Rhys Webb (Wales), Jonathan Sexton (Ireland), Leigh Halfpenny (Wales).

    No Scots picked. Be good if that * Gatland released Finn so that he could play against Fiji at the weekend. I feel for the young man, he sounded so proud to be called up last weekend and to see him looking gutted on the bench the other night when it was obvious he wasn't getting some game time summed Gatland up for me.

    Great to see Ioane given a chance to start ahead of Savea, huge opportunity to shine.

    Whoa, Savea not even on the bench, is he injured?

    I saw him during RWC & he scored a hat trick.

    Nope, just dropped.

    I watched him score a hat-trick against England in 2014.

    Lions can't handle the intensity the ABs bring to the table across the whole 80 minutes, Gatland was having a laugh saying the provincial games were in any way comparable to the tests.
