Bwahahaha
Right, now the Lions must make this count. 4 min left
Lions scrum on about halfway
11 points go begging by missed kicks from the Wallabies. Damn they need to get those kicks over. Probably have cost them this game. Pity.
Come on Oz. So far what a brilliant game from both sides.
Ai, as die Engelse hier wen, en die krieket wen en die 0/20 WB en Wimbeldon wen, gaan ons nooit die einde hoor nie.
Adam Ashley-Cooper off subbed by a scrummie
The Wobblies are going to rue their kuk kicking this match…
Cooper popped his shoulder earlier in the match, they put it back, and he continued. Thats how much this series means!!!! Titanic stuff
2 Minutes to go…. what will happen?
Wallabies scrum penalty… phweeeew
The Wobblies’ players are so fragile these days, last year and this, they have just been dropping like flies.
Beale will attempt to posts again….
247 @ The_Young_Turk:
They could have won this had they got those kicks over. Had they got those kicks over they would have been on 32 points now.
COME ON BEALE
And Beale has another chance after another strong Wobbòies’ scrum!
Seconds left in the match…
This to win the match!
Missed again…. and the game is OVER!
Beale het ‘n dubbeltjie gedrink …..
As die Aussies Morne Steyn gehad het, was die game in die sakkie vir die Aussies.
Final Score: British & Irish Lions 23 / 21 Australia
And Beale misses again! No hero this time! The Lions just sneak it in the end!
Oh dear, how unfortunate for Beale. Lions snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. Awesomely exciting match, bring on the next one, this is good stuff
Shame man Beale seemed to slip as he took that kick. So 13 points went begging. Wallabies should have won this game.
Still a great game from both sides.
Well, the Wallabies certainly had their chances… and they botched it!
Lions let of the hook by bad goal kicking by Wallabies.
Get Jesse Mogg in this side next week Deans.
soooooo lekker as die woblies op hulle moere kry
What a magnificent match!
Ilove rugby played like this.
What the fark happened to the Lions’ scrum in the last 5 minutes? How did that turn around so suddenly?
Phweeeew!
Sets up the other 2 Tests well….
Cooper will be called up on Monday.
