Lions tour 2025

But nah, grass cutters back on the menu boys. If that's using your arms in a tackle, Owen Farrell should be head of the tackling school

 

[Ali TT]

That was all a little confusing

 

[Ali TT]

Is this the "everyone has been subbed and the game goes a bit ****" period?

 

[ripper868]

That really would of been magic if he pulled that back.

 

[weeman27bob]

Felt like a score was always coming there - haven't been out of our side of the pitch for most of the second half

 

[weeman27bob]

Possession stats there are nuts

 

[ripper868]

Why Tate isn't the starter I have no idea. Wallabies looked so much better since he got on.

 

[Ali TT]

Garbage time score makes the scoreline look more respectable. Enough from the Wallabies to give them hope next week and also for the Lions eradicate any potential complacency.

 

[weeman27bob]

Pretty ugly second half for the Lions - just didn't have any ball/territory.

Looked pretty good when we did have ball in hand though.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Why was that kicked out? Wobs reckon an 8 point loss better than a 15 point reverse?!

 

[ripper868]

8 points flatters the Wallabies there. Some hope for next week I guess, but if Lions took all their chances, that could of been 50.

Lions aren’t great, Wobs very average but looked better with McDermott , ref dreadful

I mean, is their much point risking a stupid injury when we have no depth as it is and no chance to steal the win? I'm fine with it tbh.

as in the two separate sovereign nations whose bloody history still keeps them separate sovereign nations to this day? playing under the one banner?

Well, the Ireland union test side represents the whole of the island of Ireland, six counties of which are (in)famously still part of the UK.

 

[ripper868]

Ireland play under 1 banner in rugby as well.

Yes, it's the British (England, Wales, Scotland) and Irish (Ireland, both RoI and NI) Lions.

Players selected from the 4 nations into 1. And could only beat the wallabies by 8. Northern Hemisphere rugby on its knees.

 

[Uppercut]

Lions the better side but Australia were very unlucky with some of those decisions. Both sides looked a bit short of their potential to me.

Especially when it's a sport that's only played in two states and only by well-off people in those two states.

 

[ripper868]

Damn right morgie, no rich folks involved in league or Aussie rules at all.
