Beale with some magic… Wallabies penalty, 5m out
Wobblies fighting back with gusto here. End to end stuff.
And Kurtley wrecks some havoc…
Lions 23 / 21 Wallabies
Awful defence from the Lions. Need to shore up that mid field. Definitely been their weak point today. Wobblies will use that to their advantage next match
And Beale reduces the gap to 2 once again…
11 Minutes to go in the match, still anybody’s game
This match could still go either way but I think the Wobblies may have the psychological advantage here…
North definitief MOM.
Great work from the Lions
Lions scrum, 8m out, in front of the sticks.
See them milk a scrum penalty here….
Lions need to score a 5 pointer here to put pressure on the Wobblies…
Lions must score here, the field is their oyster!!!
THIS is an important scrum… the possible turning point of the game….
Genia steals the ball, Folau follows the kick up… total havoc!
Wallabies scrum on the Lions 10m line
Incredibly the Wobblies turn the ball over at the Lions scrum. Wobblies definitely want this more!
Come on Lions, you’re relaxing too much here, silly mistakes
Skrum strafskop ?
Adam Ashley Cooper injured… shoulder it seems….
Looking more and more like Wobblies are going to steal this one.
Wallabies penalty… within range, in from the side
Aussies making a great go of it here, good on them.
And Beale could put the Wobblies in front with a penalty!
Missed to the right, can you believe it!
What a bad miss!
Mis Beale hom … seker ietsie gedrink voor die tyd ?
And Kurtley with a horrible miss keeps the Lions in the lead.
5 Minutes left in the match
WOW!
