world rugby izzy is here

Not forward. Initial trajectory was backwards.

May have travelled forward though but that isn't forward.

 

[donmcdazzle]

Wow that was sensational

 

[big ginger 8]

Folau is just ridiculous, all came from Croft biting in...

and of course the box kick...

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Great stepping from Folau.

All from another terrible box kick from Phillips.

 

[Big Ewis]

Not forward. Initial trajectory was backwards.

May have travelled forward though but that isn't forward.

Absolutely. Don't even understand they doubted that a second, clearly a legal pass. But wtf !!! What a try !!

 

[admartian]

His new name is "Oh" Connor.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Thank God Aussies can't kick...

Surprised they haven't got Barnes kicking yet.

 

[donmcdazzle]

Let me just be the first to point out Hooper hasn't even been a factor. The Lions forwards have been great in the rucks

 

[big ginger 8]

That doesn't look good for Barnes.

In fairness Beale's not a half bad replacement.

 

[Big Ewis]

what....Barnes out, wtf...

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Christ, Barnes is gone.

Hope he's OK, I know he's had real problems with concussions in the past.

 

[donmcdazzle]

How many more head knocks before Barnes calls it quits? This can't be good for his long term health to keep getting knocked out.

 

[Sam Owen]

Errick Barnes not a good choice as.starting IMO. He missed North and hes got himself hurt. Poor guy

 

[admartian]

Thank God Aussies can't kick...

Surprised they haven't got Barnes kicking yet.

Too late. He looked to have been fended by his own guy. Didn't see the landing though. Hope he's good.

I think this is bad for the Lions. Beale is dangerous like this.

 

[big ginger 8]

Fantastic work by Corbiesero and good decision, fantastic combination work from Sexton, BO'D and Davies.

 

[donmcdazzle]

Nice play by the Lions there.

this game is so much better than the ABs v France game, the quality of rugby being played is top notch.

 

[Big Ewis]

great result for the Aussies for HT. Lions have just so much power, and when the bench comes on, and they're all hand-picked world class players too, Aussies will just run out of gas. And they're not the deepest right now, having an injured starting XV in fact.......

 

[big ginger 8]

A few shot of SO'B in gear, just warmed up as a reserve or late sub injury replacement?

 

[Groundhog]

Ref is a ****ing cheat.
