Lions Tour To Australia 2013

[superheavyrhun]

Im in the state where Aussie rules rules mate.

My sympathies. Watch some proper sport on your TV over the next few weeks. The only benefit of Aussie Rules is that, like the NFL, the world champions are always Australian.

Just watched the second half of the Western Force game, and a few stand out performances again. Tom Croft and Sean O'Brien put their hands up, but I though Geoff Parling did well when he came on, and once again Owen Farrell showing why he'll be playing the mid week games. Halfpenny is nailed on for full back both with his kicking and with Kearney out, while O'Driscoll was lively and Heaslip looked good when he came on.

Ok, Rory Best will not be starting at Hooker after today's game. Awful. He has played himself out this tour. Tom Youngs has done well and will start I think.

personally i'd have hibbard in there instead of youngs, but frankly none of the hookers have been outstanding.

couldn't believe they brought shane williams back for a lions swansong!

1-0 to the LIOOOOOOONS!

Totally nerve-wracking game. Having seen Wales lose the lead in the last minute, Kurtley Beale's two missed kicks really got the guts churning. The two big lumps on each wing did well, although Cuthbert was really quiet apart from one scamper through four players to score.

The scrum collapsed when Vunipola and Cole came on.
