Weather has been atrocious here today - heavy rain overnight then in waves today. Very glad was have a competition Bye for the Lions test as it would have just meant moving all games to the wet weather week anyway.

Might be the last of the rain for now as it's blowing from the south east and that looks clear on the radar - Olympic Park is roughly where you see "Homebush" on the map:

Lots of the Lions fans, especially any who grew up in Manchester, will be feeling at home.

I hope I'm wrong but I suspect the Lions will win pretty easily. Lions by 15-25 points.

Might be underestimating the margin

Good kick Lynagh

Right angled scrum as predicted

And the ref notices but only gives a warning

Lovely try by DP.

When he's got the ball, anyway.

Still shoots out too much on defence

Couldn't be a 50/22 as it started in the wrong half

Oz seem much better suited to the conditions.

Not something I thought I’d ever say!

Pietsch has made every involvement good so far

is having a great game.

Fucking drilled them. Porter is shit.

loved it

fight, fight, fight!

BIFF!

First game I've really been able to watch this series. Skelton makes a big difference to this Wallabies pack.

Wallabies bringing the fire tonight. Love to see it.

Utter bullshit

Fuck off ref.

Incredible how much he improved from his time in the Waratahs back then

Impressive phases from the Wallabies given the conditions

Wallabies playing all the rugby this half. Make it count.

aaah take the three

Yup going to Europe has helped him use his size properly.

Like an Aussie/Samoan version of Luke Romano, but taller.

Hands are good from both sides considering conditions

Yeah alright fellas it's a knock on. Don't blow your wad with 50 to go

Handling from Oz is very impressive. Skelton is going to end up in the bin

Take the 3 you fluffybunnies

Skelton niggling Porter. You love to see it

James Ryan looks like an oversized 12 year old bully living in an English boarding school because not even his parents loved his ugly mug

Lions have had no ball. Once they get it, things will turn

Not straight sir!!!

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