Cronje put his body on the line and got a hand under the ball to stop the try, but now a Reds 5m scrum.

Another scrum penalty to the Reds.

Sometimes wonder if the ref’s have any idea.
40

Scrumdown on 27 March 2015 at 12:26 pm

Lions will do well to hold on to this lead and win.
41

Scrumdown on 27 March 2015 at 12:30 pm

Try reds. Looked like obstruction but awarded.
42

Scrumdown on 27 March 2015 at 12:32 pm

Scrumdown on 27 March 2015 at 12:39 pm

TMO. Touch? or Scrum?
46

Scrumdown on 27 March 2015 at 12:40 pm

And looks like he lost the ball forward.

No try.

Lions scrum on their own 5m line.
47

Scrumdown on 27 March 2015 at 12:41 pm

Reds running from their own half.

Lions need discipline here.

Penalty Reds. Lions not releasing.

too far to kick for poles.

Go for touch.

Last minute.
54

Scrumdown on 27 March 2015 at 12:45 pm

Cooper lining up for the drop goal.
55

Scrumdown on 27 March 2015 at 12:47 pm

Cooper has his drop attempt charged down and the Lions win a third game on tour.

Has it ever happened before?
56

Scrumdown on 27 March 2015 at 12:48 pm

And on that note I bid you “all” farewell.

Well done SD, happily I followed it from a distance, but the history books will read 3/4… awesome tour.

WOWWWW
I couldn’t watch today’s matches & have only now got online to R-T to check the score.
And what a great achievement by the Lions! 3 from 4 victories in Australasia!
Have they ever achieved that before?
