@ nortierd:
Ek dink jy is reg boet,
Game ON!
Good steal
Lions try to throw short at the lineout and pass back to the hooker, but he is forced out, Wallabies lineout
Jeez, nothing gets the blood pumping like a Lion’s test
It’s just got that something extra
Lions kickable penalty, 45m out… shot at goal for Halfpenny!
Brutish start from both sides, no quarter given
shiiiit
Last week Pollock didn’t give them those penalties, went the other way
Hits the crossbar, just short… missed
Bread of heaven ringing out
Forward from Youngs, the scrummie.. Aussie scrum
I see Gatland said in the press that Craig Joubert is the world’s best ref..
Penalty Lions… on halfway
@ Sharks_forever:
Hello bru, howzit!
Kicks are going to be vital today again, this is going to a narrow margin, I think, 3 points will make all the difference…
But what a hectic start! Joubert punishing the Wallabies…
Good drive
Lions maul… and they are marching it forward… they get the penalty, collapsing the maul
They kick for touch very attacking lineout
Wow, interesting call
Penalty advantage Lions… and they get the penalty!
Warning given
not looking good for Aus so far
Joubert se hol
Making up for all the crap Pollock caused
Lions looking very good at the moment
Better decision by Warburton. Lucky to get away with it.
Halfpenny goes for goal… and the Wobblies have now had their team warning
That’ll calm the nerves a bit
Lions 3 / 0 Wallabies
Better from the Wobblies
At least Lealiifano has lasted longer than his 30 seconds last week… hehehe
Wallabies deep inside the Lions 22… cross-kick… eish!
Bad luck. Very good take
