Lions trivia:

Today's 10 (Owen Farrell) first broke into Saracens XV in 2010/11, taking over from the previous incumbent...........

.............. today's ref (Glen Jackson)............... :huh:

Re: The Lions
 

I cannot see Aus having a lot to shout about over the next few weeks - the Lions should take out T2 and T3 and then of course we have the Aus cricket team....what a shambles

Re: The Lions
 

I'd love to share your confidence but I genuinely rate Australia higher than every pundit, fan and friend it seems...

Re: The Lions
 

Exciting game, riddled with mistakes from both sides and arbitrary scrum decisions though. Personally I'm not too unhappy the Aussies won - sets up an exciting finale next week.

And what about North's response to being tackled by that big Aussie wing? Pick him up and chuck him on the ground!

Re: The Lions
 

It was a fantastic game....sets it up nicely for the big decider next week. For some reason I feel quietly confident the lions will win it.

North is incredible...shame England will have to face him next 6 nations.

Re: The Lions
 

Definitely missed O'Connell and the Au forwards played at a another level of intensity. Should be an amazing event in Sydney.

Re: The Lions
 

We'll lose in Sydney by 5/6 points.

Absolute roller coaster of a game yesterday. Gutted.

Re: The Lions
 

I hope you're wrong Scamp, I think it could go either way.

Re: The Lions
 

I'd love to be wrong mate.

I think we need Croft back in, I think there are benefits to starting Tuilagi or having him as a super sub, I think we keep Sexton at 10 and BOD alongside him, I think we have to look a little bit at Bowe, offered very little...but I'm well aware that we only got the ball wide with any sort of attacking structure about twice.

I must say though, I was very happy to see that O'Connor is getting found out.

Get in you Wallabies!

Re: The Lions
 

Hearty congratulations. Like I said after the first test, you were unlucky to be one down. The impetus is definitely with the Wallabies now, so the Lions will need to restring their bow once more. However, don't count your chickens. If Genia picks up a knock or if the Lions eventually find a scrum half able to match him, you never know what might happen.

Re: The Lions
 

Big statement from Clive Woodward - that Warburton's performance (before he went off injured) was the finest he has ever seen by a Lion.......... :ohmy:
