great catch Folau
Shouldn’t have tried that off load
No points Aus after all that pressure
Come on fellas, talk to us here!
Interesting to see SA wines (First Cape) being advertised around the ground
Aussie Free Kick at the scrum… delaying putting the ball in
@ grootblousmile:
Gee kans, man moet drink ook!!!
Aussies need to score from here
Wallabies opt for the scrum… it goes down and we have a scrum reset
Aus scrum looking good on the Lion’s ball
They need points after all this time in the 22
….and penalty given
Roof is closed over Etihad Stadium..
Full penalty for the Wallabies, No 1 collapsing the scrum
@ Just For Kicks:
First Cape? What cellar would that be? Farmers or Douglas Green, maybe….or Namaqua, hehehe!
Even Stevens
65 @ Pietman:
Jy raak oud… jy kon destyds vinning blog… en drink… en rook…. en spyker…
Lions 3 / 3 Wallabies
Another excellent match… great occasion, great match.
Lions penalty against Moore
Kept in by the wallas… excellent… and a good touchfinder to boot
@ Pietman: None of those, an english import company and 5 SA co-ops – mainly out in the Breede River
Awful attempt by Lions
Mainstay Cane Douglas loses the ball in contact…
Wobblies looking so much better early on than last week. Getting stronger too.
Wallabies scrum penalty again, again against the Lions Loosehead… shot at goal again
Makovina Vunipola being owned here, could well be the downfall of the Lions here, today
@ Just For Kicks:
Interesting. Vinkrivier, Robertson, Bonnievale, those okes…
Wobblies take to the front
Wallabies 6 / 3 Lions
good stuff CL
Hope he keeps kicking at 100%
@ Pietman: You got it!
jeez the Aussies are playing high risk rugby from the kick offs
running from their own 22 every time
@ Just For Kicks:
@82 Strange name for a Pom, where is he from, Isle of Man?
@ Pietman:
O ok, Tonga they say, close enough….
