This is a stuffing

sparky

These Lions are such an unlikeable bunch.

Well done, the Wobs.

Jorgensen is the first proper world XV level back the Wallabies have had in a long time.

If Lynagh can get a run of good health and a Championship and NH tour under his belt then he'll join him

Really? I don’t think he’s done much at all.

I’d probably put him the worst of the Oz backs this series.

Thrown in to the Lions Den - literally - at a very early stage in his career and handled the pressure with calm and confidence

He's a keeper and worth developing the back line around him

He's a very clever distributor, not flashy, and not greedy

That’s not Worid XV. That’s worth perservering with.

Just not seen a single thing to suggest he’s a world xv player.

Watch him tear us a new one now to make me eat my words ….

The Rugby Championship is going to be some viewing this year.

@KiwiMurph said in Wallabies vs Lions III:

The job Schmidt has done in under 2 years is incredible when you consider what he took over with Eddie Jones

Agree, but have to question some of his selections from last week though. Not selecting Tom Hooper and TT was criminal.

NTA

Mitchell on. So much better than JGP and yet, wasted

This ref is an amateur. Unbelievable.

Tordah

Awful refereeing, indicating advantage and changing his decision after the rfact

KiwiMurph

How do I mute that fat whinging fluffybunny Turinui?

NTA

Right where Harrison stole the 2001 series

Which is literally what I wrote

Championship and away tour will tell us if he's stick or twist

MajorStokes

Complete stuffing! Lions look exactly like what they are. Last game of tour at end of long season. That’s on Farrell.

Huge game from the Wobs, best I’ve seen them play in years.

MajorStokes

@MiketheSnow That’s not what you wrote.

Anyway, not worth the argument, let’s see how he goes. Next up, boks away

NTA

Williams has had good involvements since coming on

Kirwan

Epic tackle. I think Oz are a bit pissed about last week.

mariner4life

Geeeet fuuuucked

Tordah

That's the game, GREAT game Wallabies, almost (almost) want you to pump the ABs as Scott Robertson is such a fucking twat

mariner4life

I hate modern rugby so fucking much

NTA

Meh. Could have been worse

This official loves being the star of the show

NTA

Take the 3 you fluffybunnies

junior

In real time that's a penalty at best and then you slow it down to see Beirne's jowls wobbling on impact and everyone is clamouring for a card FFS.

Bones

Smacked right in the chops and told it's not high. Beautiful

Tordah

What was that, thought they scored

NTA

Great win. Real grit and all that.

We still lost the series so it's a bittersweet taste

Canes4life

Thoroughly enjoyed that. Well done Aus. Bring on the Bledisloe this year.

Tordah

Worst refereeing performance since Marius Jonker in the third Lions Test 2025

Well done Wallabies man have they come a long way since RWC

Wallabies have some outstanding loosies, and Skelton certainly brings a hard edge to that pack. Unlucky not to win the series.

KiwiMurph

If you told RA at the end of RWC 2023 that Wallabies would win a Lions test and come within a whisker of winning another they would have been jumping for joy

game_film

Thank god that’s over.

Bones

Well done Aus, shame you couldn't have found that grit a bit earlier.

Selection questions should haunt Australia, why not select Tupou for the 23 in tests 1&2? Why wasn't Uru involved?
Farrell made some odd selections too, Aki, Freeman and Lowe were pretty poor throughout.
Tuipolutu if fit is a couple of levels above Aki these days.
Biggest question for me though is why do Australia wear orange instead of gold??

That's Australian Fucken Gold my friend and don't you forget it!
