2nd test - Australia v British & Irish Lions

[AlRums]

Oh no! The goalposts, they're moving!!

I worked in FDI for a few years. Common issue with trying to build a pharma plant in the states for example is if you try to build it in an actually low cost location like your beloved Mississippi for example you'd struggle find enough people who aren't crackheads to staff it!

Don't forget they also choose based on how much rebates they'll get.

As someone who has watched big games with Skelton involved where a team went down early amd won it with a power punch on the bench, the coach played this one perfectly.

Wonder of Oz announcing the team early triggered the Genge, Porter switch. Mostly Genge but also Ryan off the bench we're huge there, the winning of the match.

Couldn’t agree more said it before though I think the drop off there from Sheehan is huge, he doesn’t deserve to be anything but max minutes, if however you want impact from the bench he needs to play 80 or be on there, just felt like the lineout whilst didn’t go into meltdown just wasn’t as slick and couldn’t maximise the bench impact in what was a very close game.

 

[AlRums]

Skelton had the biggest impact for me.

Silly that MOTM has to come from the winning team.

Gamble got motm in FNP match didn't he?

Be interesting to see how this Wallabies team perform in the rugby championship

My company has multiple locations in Ireland. I'd take a 40-60% pay cut if I wanted to transfer. Sounds like a wealthy county eh.

The only place in Europe with similar wages is Switzerland.

But, strumpet wants all those locations back in the US. That'll mean 50% increase in personnel costs which leads to a large percentage price rise, which means your higher salary is worth less.

Great idea.

Literally will just ban people if they keep derailing threads with politics

Please stop responding on a rugby thread

What consistency? Pretty sure the penalty count was in Australia's favour

It was 8-9

 

[Grizwald]

Cracking test match. Aussies were several orders better than last week. Found it odd they've only had the one warm up with 12 years to plan.

Lions bench had impact this weekend.

Harsh on Chessum I think, not as big an impact as McCarthy, but didn’t have a 5/10 game

Some odd ratings
Lowe was bad but 3/10?
Chessum 5?
Freeman had a good game carried very well. Yellow was just cumulative
Porter 5 , I thought he did pretty well
Curry was an 8

 

[Groundhog]

Journos should be made to watch the match a second time at gunpoint before being allowed to put out player ratings.

Gibson Park in particular for me was pretty excellent. Kept the Lions at a tempo the Aussies couldn’t handle. Best a few defenders with his passes at key points.

Missed every blwdi second of that test...

Please tell me i missed a dead rubber!?

Yes

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Aus where unlucky with injury timings, a full healthy squad and this would’ve been a really good series

Lowe's real score was 5/10. He starts off on -2 because of his man bun which nets off to 3/10.

-2 a bit generous?
