Don’t think the Wallabies will be able to cope with the intensity the Lions replacements will bring. Lions to win at a canter in last 20 mins
The only mistake the Loons have made is to try and push it a little too hard. If you are dominating it’s better to turn the screw a bit and grind them down.
The time for risky plays is later.
Overall, it’s one sided so far. We are winning most collisions but risk getting a little complacent at the breakdown.
We have got worse at every single thing this half.
USA v England now.
Capped at 1080p and with a yank commentator.
On YouTube. Doesn’t appear to be on anything else in the UK.
Edit: another lightning delay. Off to bed!

Lions stay undefeated in Australia, but First Nations and Pacifika XV (that is a mouthful) played well and had a real chance.
Stuck with an iPad and AirPods rather than a 65 inch screen.
It will have to do. Can’t cast Sky Go to a tv.
Here we go! Still don’t know hey they don’t have anthems over the speakers rather than shipping in some random singer.
And I’m not looking forward to more music at every game pause.
Ref assisted that try.
I think the commentator discussion about territory or possession was key: Lions need to put a lot of phases together and not box kick now.
And they go and box kick!
Lions kicked too much away but showed what they could do when they had the ball,
Rejuvenated Australia, great first half.
Lions bench could edge it for them in the 2nd half
My top tip - make the tackle fast and don’t think about the wrap.
Keep the ball. Make the phases. Build pressure. Who has the ball is key this half.
Back row on the wing seems a good tactic. They will always beat the one on one tackle.
First Curry now Byrne
What a kick.
Ban any kick that isn’t touch and let’s keep playing.
LIONS!!!

Nearly threw it away.
OF was exactly the player they needed for that last ten. Leadership and playing the right game key. The try was always on when we had territory and phases.
On reflection, Lowe needs dropping. JGP was poor and I don’t know why he lasted 90.
BA didn’t do a lot.
We need to be a bit smarter next match.
History or bust?
Twice the Lions have been within 5 metres and come away with nothing.
First time that has happened this series.
Rain making it a slow game.
8-0 not a dreadful defecit.
Bench can still make a difference
Horrible game where the margins have always been gold’s way.
Some poor individual performances. Bad kicks. Knock ons. Stupid passes. It was a game where the Loins should have stuck to absolute basics and not got pulled into a pissing contest.
Aki has been poor. Russell has been nervous. JGP has lost the personal battle. We have handed over possession every time.
Deserved win by Australia
They were the better team today.
Boks score in first 90 secs
7-0
Could be a long afternoon for AUS
Hmmmmmm
