Hahaha the Aussie kicker fell over and the Lions win! That was bloody close and a really, really good game.

Absolute bollocks Posh. The Lions strength in depth should see them win one test at least. having said that I expect them to win the series win or lose today.
Your comment there reminds me of the OTT kind of reaction from the media we're unfortunately used to these days.
You think so, remember the last time in Australia. We win the first test & Australia improve after that to take the next two. Everything has gone wrong for Australia in this game, if the Lions hadnt won in those curcumstances I honestly couldn't see them winning either of the next two. Doesn't matter now, as they managed to hang on. |

Australia would have blitzed us years back...i think the art of winning is eluding the country of Aus at this time in history. A great quote by Billie Jean King......Champions are scared to lose,losers are scared to win  |

Great game, with the exception of Genea and Falau I thought the Lions kept them at bay pretty well.
Living in Canada the only feed on TV is the Aussie one. To their credit they commentated pretty neutrally, but every time Falau touched the ball one commentator would go on about his DAAAAAYYY-BOOOOOO. And that was just annoying.
Also the obsession with calling every event in the game 'something-time' (eg. try-time, lineout-time, scrum-time) was rubbish.

Aussies manshamed up front with a proper NH ref and utterly dominant when tested in the second half
Welsh flanker Martyn Williams called it exactly right at half time
Everyone relax. Aussies are gone, not counting chickens, Lions just too strong.

Are the BBC doing a highlights programme later? Second half sounded like we dismantled them. Result.

I have no interest in Rugby but it's absolutely delightful to learn that Aussies have lost.
