13 mins – Rebels 0/0 Lions
15 mins – Rebels 0/7 Lions – try by scrumhalf Conor Murray converted by Owen Farrell
Sounds like the Lions are getting into their stride now after Rebels did well initially. Quite a few scrum resest but recent scrum saw Lions giving Rebels a hard time. Lineouts not so great for the Lions with Hibbard missing his jumpers at least twice.
22 min: Lions on attack after a penalty kick into the corner but Dan Cole knocked on 5m out
The conversion of the try earlier meant Farrell has succesfully kicked 16 out of 17 attempts thus far on tour.
24 mins: Lions front row collapses and Rebels get a penalty which they kick out to relieve the pressure
25 mins : Rebels 0/7 Lions penalty kick missed by Rebels Woodward after O’Brien was penalized for offside at ruck
7 @ Bullscot:
Didn’t seem a difficult kick Woodward missed from just inside Lions 10m and fairly straight
28 mins – Rebels 0/14 Lions – try by winger Sean Maitland converted by Farrell
Sounds as if the Lions are making it difficult for themselves in spite of being comfortably ahead now with basic mistakes – knock-ons and missed passes
Helllooooooooooo
Sorry I’m late… freegin clients wasted my time!
Lions 14 / 0 Rebels
9 @ Bullscot:
Lions scored a good try there it seems with good interplay between forwards and backs, try started with Tuilagi going on a strong run busting through quite a few tackles then passing to Maitland who ran a good distance then passed on to Faletau…and eventually Maitland received the ball again to go over
Bully, thanks for keeping the scores here for us!
Now that I can relax and watch, I’m back in the mix too.
Rebels on the attack, inside the Lions 22
8m Out… 7…. 5m
Rebels penalty, 7m out… for offside.
They kick for touch
Lions steal the lineout
Conor Murray kicks out but it’s a poor one.
Rebels lineout on the 22… they lose this lineout too
Hooter goes, but we’ll have a last Rebels lineout
38 min: Rebels 0/14 Lions – Rebels were on attack and got a penalty that they kicked to the corner BUT Lions stole the lineout and clear their lines
This time they throw at the front… and get their lineout… but squander the ball.

Hi there no worries GBS, sorry wasn’t updating the comments here so didn’t notice your comments till now, good your in as getting a bit busy for me now. Enjoy the game!
22 @ Bullscot:
Thanks man!
I went to Nuffield early this morning and the client stuffed me around man… told them at 11:15 that I HAD TO GO… they still kept me till 11:41. I jaaaged like a mad man to get back here!
What can I say… tills had to roll!
23 @ grootblousmile:
Your clients have to come first as you say they keep the tills rolling
@ grootblousmile:
Am not able to watch the game but its sounds like Tuilagi is playing well carving holes through the Rebels defence almost at will, so will be interesting to hear by end of game who else you think has put up their hand for test selection
25 @ Bullscot:
Will check for you!
2nd Half ON!
Rebels certainly with plenty ball to work with in the last stages of the 1st half and now again… and they keep building the phases now
Lions penalty, holding on… Lions quick tap and go
Sean O’Brien down, prone… does not look good.
Another Lions penalty on about halfway
