Youngs doing the ‘Ruan Pienaar two-step’ behind the scrum. Wrong. Leave it on the dance floor, please
I picked the Wallabies by 5 on Bru
Lions scrum penalty… Halfpenny’s chance at goal
penalties to decide this one, I fear….
Wallabies 6 / 6 Lions
@ grootblousmile:
I have them by 12..
Good defence both sides…
@ Pietman: Haha, one can only but wonder!
vlokken hel
two restarts won by Aus, only to turn both over
going to cost them 3 points
Wobblies really hyped at the moment
Lions penalty…obstuctive running… and James O’Bieber wants to swing some handbags… hulle sal sy gesiggie skend, vir ewig!
Wallabies penalty… deep in their own half, poor kick by Beale
what’s up with the handling?
Players knocking on for no reason
Vunipola having a mare here tonight, even his loose play, which he is renowned for, leaves a lot to be desired – I predict an early substitution
O’Bieber knocks…
@ nortierd: yup, and there’s no dew either
Penalty Lions… they monstered the Wobblies there, specially on the Wobblies tighthead side
Lions take the lead once again. What a tight match
Lions 9 / 6 Wallabies
the scrums are really one for you one for me
just when Aus gets it right, the Lions start to dominate
This is going to be so close and will come down to Joubert
Adam Ashley-Cooper down, copped an elbow from Vunipola
Dammit, missed the first 30 mins because of an important phone call. Is the match living up to expectations?
…and Vunipola’s night just got worse – think there may be a citing for that
110 @ nortierd:
What was your Bru pick on this one?
@ The_Young_Turk: A bit smash and crash so far, but very even contest
112 @ The_Young_Turk:
What… your new Russian babe call you?
@ The_Young_Turk:
Yep
Defense both sides massive, no try scoring chances
All down to Joubert and the kickers
One moment of brilliance from either side will clinch this game
@ The_Young_Turk: Was it the Russian Mafia? Surprised you haven’t been taken to task before now!
Wallabies penalty… and it’s Lealiifano’s turn….
