Second Test: Australia vs. British and Irish Lions (29/06/13)

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Nice quick ball leads to a penalty. Copy that down word for word, Mike Philips.

Halfpenny.12 Wallabies 9

^^Wales always have a problem beating the Kiwi's

 

[Peat]

I'm not sure if everyone's getting Aussie commentary, but the point was made by Rod Kafer that the Vunipola elbow was an accident... :lol:

The co-commentator sounded dubious mind...

Ugly brute of a game this. Wallabies look far better ball in hand, but aren't committing the numbers to their own breakdowns. The Lions are playing quicker than last week, but there's still not enough guys who really break through the advantage line, and its all a bit lateral. All very stop-start. Hopefully things will settle down a little next-half, and we'll see a bit more.

 

[munstermuffin]

Still this is poor game compared to last week.

 

[yarmolinsky]

Lol, looks like a shootout in the old western
It's a shame I cannot watch it online, though. Have to read your comments instead))

 

[Draggs]

When is Sexton coming on to assert some control?


...

 

[sifplay]

Surely Vanipusha scrumming illegally now. In. You don't learn how to scrum in 20 minutes surely?

 

[Haysie]

Blatant knock-on missed? :huh:

 

[dullonien]

From the replays Sky showed it was Aus who were scrummaging illegally initially, and I agree mostly.

Blatant knock-on missed?

:huh:

Yeah, not great by the ref.

 

[sifplay]

Deans can't even have a breakdown without Joubert nailing them.

 

[Haysie]

Sexton's throwing some great pill, it's a shame he knocked that one on. You can always guarantee his passes will be in front!

 

[dullonien]

Sexton having a very mixed game.

We need to actually go through some phases, and build an attack. Work some space for North and co instead of just handing them the ball with no space.

Yeah, not great by the ref.

Let me guess. Last week the same dudes said Pollock was terrible and you agreed again

Lions crabbing across trying to get right shoulder (but being prevented) ... Which means Vunipola has no other option but to go in

 

[dullonien]

No, I used my eyes and made my own mind up!

I understand the scrum, unlike most.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Where the hell was our advantage?
It was offside by gold 14 at the ruck, referee started playing advantage, ball gets slung out wide and then Wallabies get an offside penalty?

Yeah, crazy by the ref.

 

[Draggs]

Ocker played the ball so far offside he should expect a congratulatory call from McCaw soon. Yellow?!?

 

[Feicarsinn]

Warburton having a stormer.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Warburton has been immense, seriously.

 

[dullonien]

Warburton is having a great game. Probably the best Lions player thus far.
