Score next and the Waratahs are right back in this.

Thank you AR

NTA

I wanna see Henry O'Donnell hit someone through the ribs

I absolutely hate the yelling at opposition errors. Fuck me, our game used to have standards and values.

Yeah, I wish they would be classy like us fans

sparky

@NTA Should have stayed in his native Hurricanes country and never gone down to the Highlanders to be coached that sort of crap by Jamie Joseph.......

NTA

We're about to lose another scrum

Bring Jack Grant on and give him some time at 9

NTA

Jeez boys just hook it channel 1

Darth Sader

Tahs need to fake a couple of injuries and go to golden oldies pronto

Dodge

Oh my god, flopping over a ruck with both forearms on the floor and you win the pen??

Darth Sader

As a balanced neutral who doesn’t want the Lions to win, this is pretty frustrating. For every good thing the Tahs do, they go and fuck it up

NTA

I've cursed Grant there

At least we're unlikely to concede 50

Suck it Qld

sparky

They have dominated territory, but so many handling errors from Lions. Andy Farrell will be livid.

Darth Sader

TMOs moment to shine… again

NTA

What shits me the most about that: nearly every maul has that kind of obstruction. Only the ones at tries are ever looked at

NTA

Aaron Smith in the crowd

I brought him into existence with my earlier remark

Darth Sader

Is Callaway on the outer with the Wallabies, or just softening up the Lions ahead of the tests?

Potter and Jorgensen probably the favoured wings and then Daugunu but lots can change - Wallabies play tomorrow

The skill execution by the Tahs tonight was very average. Almost every time they’ve had the ball in the last 20-30 mins they’ve fkd it.

MajorStokes

Lions who put their hand up: jones, Mitchell
Lions who put their hands down: Finn smith

Rest. Meh.

Tahs: huge heart.

Interested to see the handling error count between the two teams.

sparky

@NTA Is he cheering loudly at errors by both sides? 😉

KiwiMurph

Tahs can be proud of that. Might not have been skilful but tried their guts out

NTA

We reduced it to a pit fight, and stopped the juggernaut.

Not a great game for the razzle dazzle, but I'll take the moral victory

sparky

A third win for the Lions on Australian soil, but an unconvincing performance in many ways.

Huge heart from the Waratahs, but they lacked the skills to make it count.

Sadly, what I'll probably remember most about the game in a few days time is the baffling officiating. We really should be talking about the players not the officials yet again.

Terrible game all around.

Catogrande

Not the best game but a good contest.

Darth Sader

Wallabies will definitely have to bone up in the scrums to have a chance against this outfit

KiwiMurph

Cool thing for Hugh Sinclair to play in that game in his last game.
