3rd test - Australia v British & Irish Lions

[dirty harry]

Aus locker room looks so much more focused than the lions


Lions are chatting, leaning etc, Aus have a huddle, laptops, ball handling skill work

I assume officials know what they are doing.

In rugby??

I guess when your club franchises have negative value, you don't have to worry about lawsuits!

Boring twat

Kylie Minogue only goes so far

Her reputation says she goes all the way (sorry)

They won the series. Mission accomplished. Impossible not to get a touch complacent.

DJ hasn't played one Australian song. No pride in their own culture.

Don't think they'll get away with Rolf Harris and two little boys these days.

That's is definitely one bit of American culture that is absent and abhorred here

Finn Russell posting on social media? Hahaha

How dangerous is it really? Do we have a metreoligist in the house?

My rudimentary understand it its way way more likely to hit the stadium of a nearby building than a player.

The big danger is not direct hits - it's side flashing. The lightning will travel through a structure and jump across the gap to someone. Imagine it goes down a post and jumps across to a player

Jonno on Aussie comm.s says that they had a warm up cancelled for lightning in '99

Attitudes seem to be that it’s one teams final, the other team it’s the game before a big night out with the trophy they’ve already won.

What Finn Russell would look like if the phone was not invented

This was my fear when seeing Farrells selection.

I'd have much rather seen players who wanted to prove something, Stuart, Cummings, Morgan, VDF, VDM etc

Not sure you can say final. More third place play off vibes.

FWIW, I'd imagine the lightning thing is a one-size-fits-all from world rugby, given that it's the same in Aus and USA.

Which means it's the same for a club with a large open expanse where the posts, are the highest point for half a mile around, as for an international stadium with metal cantilevers for the roofing

I dont know, not wanting to be 3-0 and heading into a RC are pretty big motivators.

Which player?
That'll influence my reaction

Stan sport stream just had someone on saying it’s a world rugby policy. So i imagine we’ll hear a lot about how league and footy would allow a fan to die cause that’s how their fans would want to leave the world.

USA system is very simple. Lightning = no play. Everyone takes cover.

Soccer, football, lacrosse, rugby, etc.
