Fk I hope Skelton puts a hit on Owen

I hope Farrell puts a shoulder into some one and finally gets a red card

Wallaby pack bringing great physicality.

Best Aussie forward performance I’ve seen in about 15 years. Barring the fk up for sure.

Tordah

Very good first half Wallabies. Few mistakes, good defensive pressure, Lions not offering a lot so far against solid Aussie defence.

That Sheehan clean out on Lynagh should have been looked at. Defs a card.

Lots of stuff being let go at the breakdown. Tupou off his feet a couple of times diving into or over the ruck, also took one Lion's legs out

NTA

Sheehan very lucky not to be sitting on the sideline

After game 2, you would think they'd be watching out for that

@Tordah said in Wallabies vs Lions III:

terrible refereeing "no hands" as Wright was clearly allowde AND ABLE to steal that after the little Russel quick tap

By the same token, the penalty for holding on was pretty laughable when the wallaby was well off his feet and didn't even attempt to lift until he was fully lying horizontal.

Wallabies are gonna be battle hardened for the RC ..handing and physicality in these conditions has been superb
Skelton may need to rope it in

Yes, but I only point out the mistakes against the team I'm rooting for

Wurzel

If the Wallabies can bring this intensity against the All Blacks I’ll be very concerned

The first game in SA will be their big chance

@canefan its great to see we need a competitive Wallaby team

Not sure if Skelton will be available for the RC. Big blow for the Wallabies if he isn't.

Ref’s style suits Wallabies.

Bones

Oh and this is very much looking like shit selection finally coming back to bite Andy.

I say not on Skelton. His physicality is inspiring his team mates, and they're certainly following him.

Nathan Lyon half time guest.

Lions struggling to cope physically with the Aussies in these conditions.
Itoje and Freeman failing their HIA's make it Aus game to lose for me. Even though Freeman has been pretty poor over the 3 tests.

Why? Pretty clear the NH is getting a free ride on this shit.

The blow back from the decision at the end of G2, I thought they might police the breakdown a little tighter

Lol no.

Lynagh being reported as failing HIA.

Sheehan gets away Scott free

Please let us put in an 80 minute performance :palms_up_together_light_skin_tone:

Lol JGP doesn't know the laws

Dived on a man on the ground.

Nic White is a spiky little fella isn't he πŸ˜‚

Lions starting a fight for no reason.

That's what you get for trying to cannonball tackle

Talksport commentators unanimously felt it was a RC and he’ll be cited

Lol Curry thinks Beirne can't handle White by himself

Sheehan arguing they weren't being fluffybunnies

pooler fan

Ryan with an awful tackle technique there to get himself injured.

Yeah, deserved what he got there, trying to drop to target the knee and gets rightly fucked off. Good.

sparky

Not able to watch the game. But just caught the score. πŸ˜€

C'mon Aussie.

Kirwan

Well, that's something i've not seen in a while

pooler fan

If Skelton can stay on now with the lions having 2 lightweight locks it could be game over.

Canes4life

Play suspended due to lightning strikes. That might help Skelton play longer.
