Its the Lions tonight (my/our time)..... about 12 hours to go...Brian O'Driscoll dropped !!! We need this boys........Gonna be a massive turn out tonight....!! Come on boys.........!!!!!!!!!!
I fear the Wallabies will win quite well. I'm not surprised O'Driscoll was dropped. I thought he was pretty poor in the first two games. Mind you, I'd have had him in the squad! Overall.........the Lions team looks rather ordinary to me.
They never looked like scoring a try last game, without that threat we really are there for the taking. I hope they surprise me but I think Oz could win this going away...
All depends on how long Adam Jones stays on the pitch This is it...your last hurrah...come on boyo, stay on the pitch and play like only Adam Jones can for 80 minutes.
....thought you were going to tell us about the curry you had last night. Wales v The Wallabies. Go on Lions, but this will be extremely difficult.
I'd just like to congratulate sexton, Obrien and bowe on being called up to the welsh team to play the wallabies..
Their Grannies are from Llandudno and they got in on the Granny rule. Unfortunately O'Driscoll's mother is from Cork...
Unless the Welsh Lions get the crash ball out to the backs we will struggle. It's going to be close, but I think our backs and how they perform will be key tomorrow.
Naturally, I'm going against the trend and hoping for a Wallabies win but all in all, I hope it is a great game, not decided by refs or kicks at goal.................... and may the best team win!
Half-time. 10-19 The Lions were superb in that first 40. It's a shame they couldn't hold out the wallabies for that try just before the break. Game on.
Fair play to you Aussie. Pretty convincing win. Everything the coach did deserves praise including dropping O'Driscoll. Shame he couldn't have made him a sub and brought him on for the last 5 minutes. I think the man deserved that.
gatland can say he was right for dropping bod now, I still don't think he was but the result was pretty emphatic and that's will the history books will show.
Fantastic win and Gatland was completely vindicated in his selections. Having said that, I do feel desperately sorry for O'Driscall not to be even in the squad. Can't be the same for him to not be involved at all. He's been one of the greatest players in the Northern Hemisphere over the past 10 years and it would have been nice for him if he had been included as one of the replacements. Sentiment and professional sport rarely go together though eh?
Could have said the same for Warburton (to be the cpt and be sidelined like that...albiet injury)...but BOD played his part. He gave an emotional call to arms talk as the team left the dressing room...He played in the first tests....He was part of the squad....He was a major part of a series winning squad. Gatland made the right call, re the centres. One of many right calls. He had a very good TEAM in Wales....he allowed that team spirit to flow out into the squad and merged it with the best players from other teams. Team spirit what Wales and the Lions have...and what QPR didn't have.......... but need next year
