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

Different level to every other heavyweight in all honesty.

Yeah for sure. Bit of a smug moment for me as I said he’d clean up the heavyweight division to my mates when he was at cruiserweight and they all laughed at me saying his size would mean he wouldn’t stand a chance. This was back when everyone thought Joshua was actually good.

Not really sure what Usyk does from here, doesn’t seem like he’s about the money particularly so not sure if he’d be interested in fighting Fury again having already beaten him twice. Basically pointless fighting anyone in the division tbh such is the ability gap.

Parker is the most deserving. Possibly Kabayel after that to finish up with. He beats both comfortably though.

If he carries on eventually he'll lose to someone he has no right losing to so hopefully he retires before that happens.

Yeah up there with my favourite fighters ever. Probably second behind GGG. I do like the way Eastern European fighters conduct themselves, no bullshit just straight to the point in interviews and usually the way they fight is similar.

Parker definitely deserves a shot at the belts, he has been really patient. Also l think a fight with Usyk would be an interesting match up fighting style wise.
 
anybody watch the Irish Hurling Final yesterday? Tipperary beat Cork at Croke Park. I thought it was brilliant non-stop action, skillful, no histrionics, ball rarely left the pitch. Ex.cellent entertainmentI dont know anything about the game so any insight would be welcome.
 
Going by the times in the only practice session, it should be an exciting sprint race weekend. Not much at all separating the top 6 and the track is a long one.
 
Well, the only positive I can find for Lewis is it's much better to do that in the sprint qualifying instead of for the race.
 
Mind you, Charles was way off the pace as well. The Ferrari is a piece of ****. Can see Vasseur getting sacked TBH.
