First Test: Australia vs. British and Irish Lions (22/06/13)

[Sam Owen]

Wallabies got an aerial expert in Folau. Hope to see him with some good plays, im a big fan of Izzy.

Also like to see Halfpenny with some good ball

 

[admartian]

less than 15mins in I'm already fed up over these commentators.

I long for the option to swap it over to...anything really. I'd take Championship Darts commentating at this stage...

 

[Big Ewis]

oh look, an Aussie try !

 

[admartian]

Correct call there. Lions too slow. Caught napping Lions.

Now I have to hear the commentators suck Genia's and Folau off for the rest of the game....

*ugh*

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Terrible call for the penalty!
Several wallabies dived straight off their feet onto BOD and then Lions get penalised.

Just...terrible.

 

[donmcdazzle]

Awesome defence/counter attack there. Great try. I wish Genia could play for the ABs

 

[Sam Owen]

Genia!!!!

How the hell does that work, I thought you're only meant to lose advantadge if you get a scoring oppurtunity?

They went through a fair few phases to be fair, you can't keep advantage going forever.

Didn't think it was that long though?

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Phillips did rather **** there, not the time to go for a jog.

Phases with no scoring oppurtunity most refs will then call it back for the penalty as they should.

 

[admartian]

Lions look lost. Wallabies look pumped.

Hope they can hit back here though.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

How in the hell is that not a penalty for holding on?
Three lions with their hands on the ball, Genia holding it to his chest, ref allows Aus support to arrive and clear out.

Phillips is making some poor choices - he'll have forwards call for the ball but will go himself, or that 15m horizontal run he did earlier before almost getting turned over because he didn't pass it out or look for support :huh:

[TRF_Ezequiel]

Despite Folau scoring the try, his inclusion in the squad is an absolute joke.

I think the Tour logo (A Lion in the shape of the country Australia) is one of the best logo's I've ever seen. Pure brilliance.

 

[Big Ewis]

Aussies playing like Lions !

 

[big ginger 8]

Ah traditional Aussie scrum tactics fall forward on your own put in and hope the ref plays on.

Yeah - Swann is hilarious.

 

[Sam Owen]

What a ball from Genia to Robertson. He drew the defender completely
