Overthrow by Moore… eish
Much better by the Wobblies, best effort of the match
Too many errors by the Wobblies have cost them.
dammit
lost try scoring opportunity
huge call to take the scrum
Wallabies deep in the 22… 5m out
Penalty Wallabies, right in front… pop-over ball… but they opt to scrum?
That might not be wise… or is it?
Scrum, wow!!!! Can they do it?
Aussies want this win badly. Scrum taken
Wallabies knock… let off
Awful mess by the Wobblies
15m Lineout, Wallabies
Ouchhhhh, Folau!!!! Close…but here they go again, great stuff!!!
Those inside passes have not worked once for the Wallabies…
GO OZZIE!!!!
4m out
Try Adam Ashley-Cooper!
At last, great try
YES!!!! Go you good thing Wallaby!!!
Kick to come and it’s a 1-pointer
deserved try
huge kick to come
this last 4 minutes is going to feel like 4 hours
Lions backs to the wall now, must go all out now in the last 5 min. No defending the score now!
Good pressure and good try in the end by the Wallabies. Felt it has been on for some time. Going to be a cracker right to the end, like last week.
Wallabies 16 / 15 Lions
Wallabies lead
Game on, great conversion, nerves!!!
Test series going down to the wire
3 Minutes to go… it’s not over…
what an error
can’t believe that direct kick
Pressure on Aussies again
I predict a last minute penalty for the Lions…. and halfpenny missing and thus remaining just a half penny.
Directly kicked out by O’Bieber… lineout all the way back
Phweeeew!
