Lions 9 / 9 Wallabies
Match could well be decided on half time talk
Haaslip has it… Lions attack
What a waste, Davies
Lions deep in the 22… Lions penalty, not releasing in the tackle
Much better by the Lions, but missed that overlap
Thanks guys for the replies. No, nothing to do with Russians 🙂
Real tit-for-tat kicking competition atm
Lions 12 / 9 Wallabies
Lemoenetyd
The Lion kickers are in brilliant form
HM must make Jenkins an offer he can’t refuse to replace Koen
127 @ The_Young_Turk: Hahaha, I can almost see that gun-barrel against your temple – deny it as much as you want!
Time to replenish
just me or are the lions consistently offside? pretty dour first half imo. hope the seconds better
130 @ nortierd:
Yip, Louis Skoen does not do it…
Jenkins or Vlok Cilliers it must be
133 @ nga puhi:
I think it’s a great game!
@ grootblousmile:
This is what it’s all about
A real test in every aspect of the game
@ nga puhi:
Joubert is definitely giving them a more fair chance than Pollock did last week
40 Minutes of absolute nerves lying ahead
One player to change the outcome of this game, one individual moment of brilliance is all it will take
Question is, which side will take the chance?
Nawty
I agree. think it may be one mistake that costs either team. all to play for am sittin in a pub with no commentary so perhaps why I am not getti g the full effect so to speak. 2nd half about to start.
2nd Half ON!
@ nga puhi:
watched the 1st test like that last week before the Loftus test
This really a throw back to the test rugby we grew up on
Scrums a real lottery…
Match on a knife edge… Lions showing a bit more endeavour
Both sides need to open the game up a bit, too much of a tight and even handed contest amongst the forwards
Wallabies scrum penalty… Vunipola in on the angle ruled
@ grootblousmile:
Yep, and Joubert is allowing them much more than they got last week
Makes a huge difference
143 @ Just For Kicks:
Wallabies doing better in the forwards than I thought they would.
Wallabies penalty, quick tap in an attempt to spread it wide… knock
145 @ nortierd:
This could break out at any moment…
Wallabies tighthead… wow!
Lions really need to sub Vuni – it’s carnage at scrum time
Warburton over the ball wants to steal and the Wallas hold on… penalty
