Mac Hansen will happily take his spot.

Doleman
Doesn't seem to know where the gate is
They're playing alright but they look really disorganised.
The Lions are actually clinically pulling them apart. This will get ugly without the Lions having to work that hard

Reds certainly creating opportunities but letting themselves down
Said ti Mrs Boo, if Reds get some ball they're in this. But not getting enough ball.

Reds lineout has been quietly more efficient than the Lions.
It's nice to watch

Combination of a couple of big units and a hooker that doesn’t muck around on the calls.
Wasn't that out off the wing, rather than from the kick? Or is the flag considered out? No sound here...

If the winger was out when he touched it that may be deemed dead in goal?

Comms said something similar ...... but the TMO said dead before anyone touched it
The good news for the wallabies is, they appear to be running the Irish "wrap to make space" back line.
So if you can jam them at centre you can stop them.
The problem is the inexperience of the wallabies 13

In their pattern, once they go left they have created an acre of space for their centre to use along with one forward trailing. Good to watch.

Five on two and the Lions stuff it up.
who stuffed up?
Needless cutout pass that was also off target by Huw.Jones at 13

VDM should've run through the gap, but passed to 13 who threw a terrible pass to a tight forward instead of his 8.

interesting, this is my admittedly limited opinion of him, that he runs good lines but that's about it. I want my 13 to be able to put his outsides away, Irish centres are better at that.

Huh, definitely didn't appear to hit the line until it bounced off red, so flag in goal is considered dead?

Daly playing himself into the Test 15 shirt
Fascinated by this young chap, seems to be playing out of his skin. Its weird, there used to be an England player with the same name a few years back who couldn't catch, wasn't quick enough and had definitely had his day as an international player - funny that this chap has turned up with the same name and looking remarkably similar physically.

Yeah, every Aussie team will be working on how to defend that.
