Hahaha, George North, you beauty!!!
George North down injured
….but that looks bad
Looks like his neck copped a beating in that dump by Folau
He’s up and alright, it seems
He’s fine.
Resolute defense from both sides. Wobblies look more dangerous with ball in hand.
George North definitely one of the stars of this Lions side…
Niiiiice scrum
19 Minutes to go….
Lions scrum penalty
Long attempt by Halfpenny
I’m getting very worried now
Aussies are playing in isolation when taking the ball up
Lions look like they will take this one
Very disappointed, thought the Wob’s would be more desperate than this
Lions out to 6
First points in the 2nd half!
Lions 15 / 9 Wallabies
Give the man a whole penny! He really deserves it!
Wallas effectively counter the Lions lineout maul, Wallabies scrum
Another big scrum please, Lions
194 @ The_Young_Turk:
Give him a Pound, I say… hehehe
Bad knock by Beale… oi vei!
2 Lions down… feeling the heat
Think after that knock Bealle has had his last chance
Should have brought Mogg on long ago
Wobblies running themselves ragged – about to say that they can’t afford to stuff this one up, and they do. That whole move got them no further than when they started at the scrum.
@ grootblousmile:
Don’t get carried away now… maybe a schilling.
Big blow for Warburton, could be series end for him
@ grootblousmile:
Arme ou maak alweer droog reg aan die einde….maar lyk my Leeus se verdediging te goed.
@ Just For Kicks:
Yep
Late nights before a test is not a good idea
Mogg should have been on in Bealle’s place long ago
Genia so far offsides
A converted Wallabies try can still do it for them… but the defences are great, to say the least
One feels that if the Lions get another 3 pointer, this match will be safely theirs.
@ Just For Kicks:
Lions defence almost as good as the Stormers’!
Yeah, Mogg could make a huge difference.
Wallabies penalty…
Can they make it pay here?
