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

The first game in SA will be their big chance

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

Refโ€™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.

pooler fan

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.

Sheehan very lucky not to be sitting on the sideline

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

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

NTA

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

Lol JGP doesn't know the laws

NTA

Dived on a man on the ground.

Nic White is a spiky little fella isn't he ๐Ÿ˜‚

African Monkey

Lions starting a fight for no reason.

NTA

That's what you get for trying to cannonball tackle

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

Talksport commentators unanimously felt it was a RC and heโ€™ll be cited

NTA

Lol Curry thinks Beirne can't handle White by himself

NTA

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. ๐Ÿ˜€

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.

Bones

Yeah this is a bit fucked!

@Canes4life was just gonna say same thing
Haveโ€™nt seen a game suspended since someone forgot to pay the power bill at the Palmerston North Showgrounds in FPC championship final

NTA

Just had thunder overhead at my place.

Bones

An Irish player changing his wet boots for dry ones. I've seen it all now.

Dan54

Think I will just knock it on head. Half an hour and then play? Must admit kind of lucky it a dead rubber.

I'm about 20km NW of the stadium so it's coming this way.

STRAYA!

Cripes! Loving Nic White tonight after hating the little fluffybunny for so long.

Kirwan

It's a nice old fashioned style game, very physical and a bit of biff

Victor Meldrew

Lightning stops play?

Standards are slipping. Wimps

NTA

Recently they had a weather-affected game in the USA vs England I believe?

I remember years ago Matt Burke lining up a shot at Loftus for Tahs v Bulls and the thunder and lighting hit just as he got back to his mark.

African Monkey

Funnily enough this happened at the same ground earlier in the year in the NRL between the Dogs and Rabbits. It changed the game that night.

Bones

On their phones at halftime, hilarious.

In MY day we didn't start until everyone got struck by lighting at least twice on the way to the ground and once before warmups!
