2nd test - Australia v British & Irish Lions

[dirty harry]

Boring match nothing happened

Im going to internalise this and not look any further...

-2 a bit generous?

I don't mind long hair but it's the shaved bits he has which should see a harsher points reduction.

It was a great test and the Lions showed a lot of heart to come back down 23-5.

When Valentini and Skelton went off, they lost their punch.

Thought Lowe wasn't great in attack but got the Lions put of some holes at times. 6/10 for me really. Came off at the right time.

Rugby ratings make no sense.

The baseline should be 5/10. But it seemingly is 7/10. So an average game is 7/10 and a bad game is 5/10.

I don't understand the Twitter controversy over the Morgan clear out. Lots of people claiming Morgan hit Tizzano in the head or neck - I'm pretty sure contact was to Tizanno's back.

Lions won in a last gasp try that have been pulled out. Few Aus fans are going to see it the Lions way. Not hard to understand.

Those 2 were never going to last long. Valetini last played rugby 14 June, Skelton 7 June.

Snip.

Yup the idea adults dont play video games is probably about....30 years outdated. Once they stopped being designed purely as ways to steal kids arcade money and those kids started becoming adults it was only ever going in one direction.

Remember if your Granny plays Candy Crush she's still a video gamers.

I get it, but if I were Australian I'd find another moment to complain about. Perhaps I'm too logical but I wouldn't post a video clip of a player getting hit in the back and claim it's a headshot.

Tuipulotu and Ringrose to start test 3.

I know I will will be in minority on this because people will want us to go for the 3-0 kill shot but I'd play those 2 and go one step further a lot of the players who haven't started.

Not fully like this but something similar to Genge, Kelleher, Stuart, Cummings, Chessum, Morgan, VDF, Earl, Mitchell, Finn Smith, VDM, Tuipulotu, Ringrose, Hanson and Kinghorn.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Will Ringrose even make it to test 3, especially with the concussion symptoms. Not worth the risk.

I hope he does, pretty strict protocols so no major risk. Was one of the best players of the tour for me.

VdF not being picked was totally justified but I want him to play too.

 

[LIONSxv]

The play acting was awful. It was so awful and delayed that when the ref saw it slow motion it must of influenced his decision...really pathetic football play acting.
I thought the clear out was shoulder on shoulder, he never touched his forehead
Aussie commentary was brilliant, "this is 100% getting overturned mate", head on on head , "high head shot" Morgan was about 2 foot off the floor

Need to rage now! Cant wait the Rassie analysis!

But the idea ChicagoKid is a bit of a twat is bang up to date.

You’d have ringrose ahead of Jones?
