    Enjoying the Aussie v Lions RFU.
    The Aussies seem to be putting up a bit of a fight, and threatening to score, since going 24-5 down.
    The Lions were totally dominant first half.
    And as I type the Aussies score a try and convert. Now 12-24.

    I think the Lions eased off a bit. They had a try disallowed too, although I thought the tackler released the scorer before he had to release the ball, so it was it bit marginal.

    Great to see Finn Russell is still unarguably the best scrum half in world rugby too.

    Couldn’t get my head around the try being disallowed, but then I don’t understand all the rules.

    The Lions' scrum half was/is Jamison Gibson-Park. Finn Russell plays at Number 10/Stand-Off/Outside Half. Not that it matters, 'cos they won
