2nd test - Australia v British & Irish Lions

[McTallshort]

Ringrose wouldn't have scored that

 

[curtbob7]

Kicker, kicking for goal has got sod all with being a good fly half.

Behave

 

[Duck a l'Orange]

Harry Potter at 11 and Dobby at 14, odd selection.

 

[Which Tyler]

And that's two huge restarts we've missed because sky want to show us a 6th and 7th replay instead of the actual match.

Talk about momentum shifts though

 

[odw26]

I think he wanted the Irish centre partnership this week, and I wouldn't have been surprised he went back to the Scottish pairing next week

If the only reason Aki was in with a shout was to avoid breaking up the Irish centre partnership then that’s objectively a dreadful coaching decision considering the depth of the drop off between him and Tuipulotu. Ringrose would fit in just as well with Tui inside of him.

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

I don't hate Irish players. Sheehan, Beirne and Conan have been grand.

I hate Irish backs.

Edit: except Gibson-Park.

Really? I love Aki and Ringrose

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Here comes the comeback.

 

[Jimbo]

Lions lucky to not get called offside. Instead they end up getting a pen in their favour.

Really pushing the limits.

Huh, lions got yellow, after Aus were warned previously continued to get pinged but didn’t get the yellow, yet lions are pushing the limits and lucky?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

What I've noticed is the Irish boys don't seem to pass. They run into contact and butcher try opportunities because they're glory boys. Only the English and Scots seem to understand this 'team' thing

Wah wah waaaah

Currys try from a pass from JGP, Jones try from a pass from Keenan

Yeah like when Conan passed to Curry for his try it was actually a well formed Anglo in disguise.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Really? I love Aki and Ringrose

Yeah Ringrose is class. I mean of the ones starting today.

So really just Aki and Lowe.

 

[Rinkadink]

They're still doing it, so yes. Lucky to not get penalised. I'd be fuming if I were an Oz fan.

They even conceded from the bad call.

 

[Duck a l'Orange]

Aus have gone back to taking the ball standing still, compared to the momentum and speed they were taking it at in the first 30 mins.

Im serious halfpenny was one of the all tike great goal kickers, how many games did he play with fly half?

Our obsession with fly half kickers meaning they have to play/kickers is why England got stuck with Farrell for so long and Ford wasnt trusted after one bad game.

 

[AlRums]

At least this games lively

 

[Derpus]

Wouldnt be a game of rugby without the always classic ‘Nooooooo!… oh yeah ball was out’ from the ref.

What are you waffling on about man haha.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Very entertaining first half

Time to see if Farrell's bench plan works

 

[Dean Cooperfield-West]

Wah wah waaaah

Currys try from a pass from JGP, Jones try from a pass from Keenan

Honestly, look out for it. Start counting how many times an Irish player fails to pass when a pass would have been the better move. You’ll be shocked

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Did the Curry try eventually stem from that bad drop by Lynagh?
