Good rugby, both sides…. quite a battle!
Almost a Lions try…. kicked dead though
Lions penalty, off his feet by Robinson
Beau Robinson is not his mommy’s best looking child… surely!
Hy het so hoë, rondekoppie soos ‘n Aapman…
Shot at goal by Owen Voorvel!
Reds 7 / 6 Lions
Reds penalty, offside from an uppie.
On Halfway.
Cooper does not find touch
Well finally made it to this game seems like the Reds are giving the Lions a hard time
Another Reds penalty…. Ok’ish touch by Cooper
Lions steal the Reds lineout
Reds penalty… missed left by Quade “Surfer Dude” Cooper
Voorvel over, but he drops it over the line!
TMO
Good knock out of the Voorvel hand by Morahan
Try Youngs?
TMO
Youngs might have knocked it in the rip from the Reds….
I would call that one a knock…. but the TMO rules it a try
19 @ grootblousmile:
Farrell has a lot of potential and is quite young to be in the important position of Lions flyhalf already, on a good day he is verry good but not sure his running game is his strength at the moment, there is also a train of thought among some of the media here that Saracens where he plays do not really play enough of running flowing rugby so that must impact him as well. Sexton on the other hand as you saw earlier this week is better in all round play so barring injury should be test starter. Problem for Lions is they only have two specialist flyhalves on tour so Farrell has a big role to play, there was talk about the Lions considering Stuart Hogg as emergency backup flyhalf he is very good fullback and done well at centre for Glasgow too never seenhim at flyhalf so if he is a real option then surely he must get some game time in these warm up games at flyhalf, maybe start him at flyhalf next game with Sexton on bench to cover if it doesnt work, but you cant expect Hogg to jump in an emergency come test time if one of the two flyhalves break down if he doesnt get game time before hand, I suspect if another flyhalf is needed they would call up Dan Biggar who is already not far away in Japan or Englands Freddie Burns rather than use Hogg at flyhalf.
Lions 13 / 7 Reds
Well done Ben Youngs, thought it only a matter of time before the Lions took over, they should win bh at least 15
47 @ Bullscot:
I would also rather play Johnny Sexton as pivot
I picked the Lions by 10 on Bru
Warbuton over… is it a try?
Fabulous run by George North!
Very bloody close whether it’s a try…looks inconclusive to me… and ruled so
Good game… both sides
Bully, I sent you another mail… to confuse you properly between the 32-Bit and 64-Bit Operating Systems…. hehehe
Great Reds scrum and they scavenge the ball
Lions 10m out… time is long up for Halftime
Penalty Lions… will have to be a shot at goal.
Tackler not releasing… Tapuai
Lions 16 / 7 Reds

Ah great thanx man will check it when home tomorrow night we should be getting ready to head up the road in the next hour or two. Will be interested to hear if Justin Tipuric comes on in 2nd half how his play compares to Warburton I think he is really good and from what I have heard and seen is a far better fetcher than Warburton but of course Warburton is captain.
