Scotland

Meh, made the thread in 2 minutes. Sorry I don't put 20 mins into planning my threads.

I'll never make one again.

shitaly shitting the bed in the death lads

I know, I am saying that I prefer it when the Kiwi's make the threads as it is not made with B&I Lion delusion.

Everyone except them knows that the game is going to be a walkover for the All Blacks.

>losing to australia

kek.

Can italy sink any lower?

BASED Kiwi ThreadGod

What you drinking for the game?

pretty disappointed mate ngl

You forgot about the US-Canada game

It's fine. It's a match thread. I'll make another general when it's done. You're golden.
t, threadautist

nothing to celebrate there

literally all my work, copied, pasted, ripped off, credit given to some shitter. Shameful. Shame on you saffa, shame on you all /rug/.

which team should i bandwagon in this years mitre10 cup?

Harbour.

goatago or tasman to be honest

perfecting my dabs before kick off
now i'm hungry
breakfast recommendations lads?

eggs
bacon
blackpudding

Alpen

All Blacks will be obviously dominant in every area of the game except the scrum (where they'll be close to parity) but will have their momentum shut down repeated by the referee and at least 1 potential try disallowed by the TMO so that the Lions lose by as little as possible, ideally by less than 7 but probably between 7-14.

Screencap this

My brother in laws brother plays for Harbour

Absolutely fuming lads

Mam decided that today, the day of the first Lions test would be the day she doesn't cook me a fry up

Instead she has already went and bought all the ingredients, but she told me if I want it I have to make it myself, DID NOT NEED THIS TODAY

mate life is a vale of tears

is ur mams hot

>this paddy autism

Sorry lad

No, simply because /rug/ is an anime free zone. Think about what you have done

Bet she made you go to mass when you were a wee lad too.

sorry
*kills self*

lads, will the lions get within 20?

your mums a bit tired after last night mate

Got the Lions -10 absolutely creasing at this free money

Ah who cares lol
All done for the lads

What are you, 12?

He sounds muscular and elite.

...

ye thnks i do zumba

>Sean O'Brien's dad is back at home cos he has to be on the farm

Howling

He is a good cunt

Lions Lions Lions!

*breathes*

LIONS LIONS LIONS

What sport?

>sam warburton is really happy not to be picked and is helping out the team around the place
Lol, wot a pussy XD

>No, simply because /rug/ is an anime free zone.

Better 2d pictures than none at all. This is an image board. For non-image based discussion, there is Reddit.

RIEKO IOANE

>/rug/ thread
>talking about mitre10 cup team

take a wild guess m8

curling

rugby time

I can't believe the team that meets up once every four years doesn't have loads of organised chants.

I'm sure the mighty New Zealand fans will put them to shame with a verse of their famous song "God Defend New Zealand"

Not funny kys

felt a little bit bad when stephen moore thanked all the supporters for coming out and giving their support. he seemed to really mean it too :(

SBW vs Teo
Wew lads

rugby. better than watching the wallabies
no need to be like that m8

God Defend New Zealand is objectively the best national anthem in the rugby world. Maybe a few of the Euro ones have more history but NZ's gets you the most passionate just singing it.

Sean O Brien is a big goym

daily reminder that the lions couldn't beat the worst nz super rugby team

Steroids

moore should fuck off desu
terrible captain
tpn to start with ready/latu to come on when he gets concussed

Matt Todd is a shitter

Daily reminder that we beat the best super rugby team

It's not that they don't care, it's that they're not good enough and they know it so even if they were they wouldn't perform at the level they need to.

It's a Sydney psychological attitude created by the high-pressure highly-critical environment, and is why we need more rough and ready country boys on the team, and definitely less Sydneysiders.

Curry for dinner to celebrate our British guests lads.

Do you really expect me to believe that the only images you have stored in your entire drive are anime reaction ones?

If so, found the Reds supporter

RIEKO IOANE

>we
which british and/or irish lion are you mate?

?

you lost to the landers mate

>Mam decided that today
>implying she hasn't been waiting months to do it

Get your act together you useless NEET

Provincial ba ba's lads

I think a lot of them don't care, or aren't that fussed in terms of result. they know they're the best candidate for the position, so their performance doesn't mean anything because it's not in jeopardy.

Reminder:
Blues > Landers > Lions > Regional Barbarians > Chiefs > Poosaders

If God Defend New Zealand was any good at pumping your lads up, they wouldn't need to do a haka. It's pretty telling that in other sports, like soccer, where they only listen to GDNZ, they're shit.

Scottish anthem is better btw.

What position do you play mate?

...

Biggest game of the year lads.
Drink it in /rug/

i found an anime

All of them lad

Will Smith be playing?

John Smit says lions by 4.

You heard it here first.
