    Lions with a little knock, on the Reds 22….

    Hooter goes but the scrum will take place.

    This game sums up just how poor Aus Rugby is.

    The Lions were not great but the Teds were k@k and should have had at LEAST 2 more yellow cards if not 4.

    That said, if someone had offered a bonus point win before the game I would have taken it.

    The injury to Jonker looked serious.

    @ grootblousmile:
    That was a crazy end to the game Gbs never seen anything like it. France originally opted for a scrum as there wasn’t enough time left for a lineout from penalty and then the game went on for almost another 20 minutes!

    Thought would have loads of time to see the game and get to where had to be but in the end was really tight if France hadn’t scored when they did wouldn’t have seen the end.

    In the build up to France last try the ref was playing yet another penalty advantage to them and said when play broke down Dan Biggar would get a yellow but France scored and I didn’t see after the conversion if Biggar got it in the end

    Looked like Huw Jones went off with knee injury hope he is ok. Stormers will be concerned as he is due to return to them after this game.

    Didn’t see earlier but Huw Jones is standing with crutches and bandaged knee on the side

    Huw Jones will not play for the Stormers before he leaves them this season. Turns out he tore a hamstring and after operation could be out for up to 5 months. Wish him all the best with the recovery, that sounds like a nasty one, hopefully he will be able to get back to his form again and even improve at Glasgow.
