They are just trying to get our lads rattled and drawn into a scrap as that's the onky way they will get the advantage.
These weather conditions look horrendous. Difficult to get into any real rhythm. Suiting the Aussies as it's all just physical and scrappy.
Yeah a tough 1st half. Aussies definitely coping better with the adverse weather. Using it to their advantage. Itoje and Freeman both off injured. Lions need a very big 2nd half.
The break will suit them most as they'll be able to keep first line players on longer. Given their replacements aren't of the same quality as ours.
Aki and Gibson-Park both been disappointing today. But a well deserved try and it's now game on, 20 mins left.
