Rugby fans rejoice, the week of the first Lions test is upon us.
Just like all great things such as the Olympic Games and any form of a World Cup, it only comes around once every four years.
Slowly and steadily things are beginning to fall in place for Warren Gatland’s side as they prepare for the mammoth test of facing New Zealand but a 32-10 defeat of the Maori All Blacks was impressive.
Not without its flaws, Tadhg Furlong gave away a penalty for not releasing late in the first half.
Not a big deal, right? Well, Mako Vunipola took issue with it during the heat of battle.
That’s one way to shout at your front row team-mate! 🍑🖐 @FR_union @FrontRowGrunt pic.twitter.com/FodQqPqhR2

We wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of that for sure and either would Connacht centre Bundee Aki.
Only an islander would give a slap like this. Reminds me off my dads slaps 😂😂 https://t.co/ciLZMJGK3d

Well, we bet he’s never quite experienced the dreaded wooden spoon.
