British and irish lions tour

Agree Swim, this game is going to the wire again.

 

Tight game again.

 

Whats the bloody difference between that penalty and the one BOD got pinged for?

 

Why has he taken Adam off again

 

Would have left Jones on for a bit longer, to steady the ship.

 

Squeaky bum time now.

 

Come on Lee!!!!!!!

 

Falatau, Tipuric, Hibbard and Ian Evans need to come into the team. Gatland needs to start picking on form and not reputation.

 

I thought we were a weaker side today than the first test team.

 

When it comes to international sport - any sport - reputation always comes before form doesn't it ? Look at The Englanders football team.....

 

But the Lions should be different in that it should be picked on form, as it is only every 4 years.

 

Australia deserved it.
Oh for a decent hooker. Why simple front of line and drive ball wasnt done in the last 3 minutes I dont know.

I expect changes in the front row, scrum half and centre next week.

All or nothing next week and I expect Australia to be without Horwill. We may also see O Driscoll as captain next week if Sam doesnt shake off his hammy.

ps I thought SW had a very good game, and if fit , will play. Tipuric was poor in the last 2 midweek games (and I am an Osprey fan). If Sam is out, OBrian starts

 

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

Shocking game management second half. Didn't want the ball and kicking game was weak.
Refereeing was a joke particularly regards off side, blocking and taking players out off the ball.
That said the half backs did nothing to make things happen and o'Driscol was a liability.
Won't beat Australia by playing on the back foot - Mike Phillips and Tipuric have to play next week - but unless the ref plays to the rules they have no chance.
Don't be surprised if North is sited.

 

If North is cited, it will be a strange one. I understand the tip tackle ruling but he had the ball and wasnt the tackler. North had his head drilled into the floor by the aussie

 

The backrow for me next week would be Tipuric, Lydiate and OBrien with Falatau on the bench.
Agree tha SW finally had a good game, but that hamstring injury doesnt look good, so will be surprised if he is passed fit.

 

Can't see North being cited, did nothing wrong.

 

Dumped the Ausie after carrying him and had responsibility for the safety of the player ... loads of chatter in Oz about how safely he was put on the ground and if North was in control. In the end it will come down to how much the Australians want him out next week.

 

ref saw it. video ref checked it. how can a player control ball and player. i see the citing the ither way round for the pile driver carried out on North

 

Swim why have you changed your signature.
