The Lions played a lot better than they did last time, but still not good enough for our boys.

i play rugby, you dont understand how hard it is to play a full game when your running on backup energy, i play second row (4) all the power has to come from there and when you are constantly scrummaging, its hard to keep up with the pace of the game, we didnt play the best but as i said it is hard especially agianst an opponent like new zealand, one of the giants in rugby union, they have speed and experience on their side

lol, funny post as.

The lions got done due to under prepartation and playing 10 man rugby in ther provincial competitions. To say that NZ has speed and experience on thier side is a load of crap. Rugby is a professional sport and they should be all that fit and skilled, the fact is that the Super 12 uses the backlines better and the forwards actually have running and passing skills.

And with respect to NZ being more experienced, well thats just rubbish. All the lions players have represented thier national teams in the 6 nations and the team had so many english players that had been in the 2003 World Cup side that had to last through extra time in the final to win. i.e. Wilkenson, Thompson. More expeienced than the NZ team maybe even...

A lot of the English players from 2003 were at the tail end of their careers, Dallaglio, Hill etc etc, if these are the best Britian has to offer well, they serve the stuffings they've got. SCW taking injured players on a tour like this is a joke, most didn't even last one game, some didn't even play one game before they were sent home.

The squad was too big, SCW thinks he's some kind of master tactician, but we can see how that turned out. O'Connell and O'Callaghan at second row omfg.

The Lions team will never gell with so many players in the squad, some Lions players looked so far out of their depth on the field it was plain embarrassing, Lewsey, Robinson etc etc.

Hopefully JW won't play in the last game his service was ****e, at least start Stephen Jones and the Welsh backs can play together like they did in the 6 nations, thats assuming the forwards can actually win some ball.

I hope NZ turn up to play and win the series 3-0 it'll be a shame if they just go through the motions now that the result doesn't really matter.

Being an English fan, I am sorry to say but I agree with you.

After watching the Super 12 on TV I have to say that alot of running is involved, its much exciting to watch when compared to our rugby! I rate Gavin Henson; he's a great player to look forward in the future. I don't really like saying this but I don't think this generation of Lions players will be able to beat the Kiwis. I think its best to wait to the next Lions tour, preferably 5-6 years time.

On a side note, too much money was put into this and too many players were sent. There should be some sort of rule for how many players from each of the countries should be taken.

Peace out now!

Ok last test tomorrow, an easy win for NZ they've played some great rugby and deserve a 3-0 whitewash. The lions team is pretty poor again, cueto, murphy, lewsey at 11 hehehe. Nice to see what sort of score NZ can run up against this team.

Fowards are the same as last week, they tried to compete last week and couldn't get it done so I think its unlikely anythings gonna change this week.

This tours been a complete waste of time, poor management, poor team selection, although I suppose it has been a nice warm up for the Tri-Nations for NZ.

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.

      with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
