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

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!

The non selection of Tom Hooper in test 2 should be added to that. Crazy.

We had Valetini?

Is Gleeson a better bench option than Hooper? Not for me.

A good point. I guess I was thinking more about starting players. Gleeson is a good bench option for when the game breaks up a little

Sheehan gave a good post match interview.

Unlike Itoje who was a bit of a tool after Tests 1 & 2

I'm not sure Tom Hooper would have been as effective last week - his game suits a grinding wet weather style. Last week was far more open

And managed to come off as an even bigger twat at the trophy presentation.

Go scream at a lineout you dozy fluffybunny.

@NTA what did he do?

Has not acknowledged the opposition once. Thanked RA for hosting while giggling at his team mates, but never even said the word "Wallabies".

Sheehan did.

Greatest ever Lions, my arse.

Didn’t see the game as was standing in a passport queue in Porto for most of it. Selections killed us, but fair play to the wobs, love how much they cared

That Porto one is the worst in recent times I can recall.

Nobody was bad
But like the Irish team, good sides who can match them physically have worked them out and nullify them

It’s Schmidt’s homework that Farrell is copying after all

Joe marking Andy’s homework?
