Iain Payten ‏@iainpayten44s Bit of action, finally. Horwill and Deans heading in to hear the verdict. Stand by, fight fans.

No decision yet.

Twitter talk of O'Connell being out of the tour with a fracture.

Iain Payten ‏@iainpayten16m Hearing to be long, for those seeking clarification. Ban or otherwise, no idea. Details Iain Payten ‏@iainpayten31m Word from inside the Horwill hearing: "It's gonna be a long one". Details

Where you put your foot depends on which direction you are being pushed. He has his left foot planted and is being twisted/pushed to his left. Placing his right foot further to the right would be unhelpful.

I think Smith could be very valuable. We need more forwards that can play in the back line, and I can see him covering 9-12 nicely. Will O'Connor be OK for round 2 in Melbourne? I didn't see his injury or even when he went off. I can only assume he was injured around the same time as Barnes...

Deans looked weirdly shellshocked (even by his standards) at halftime when fox got a few words from him. Hopefully he was able to communicate more meaningfully in the 5 minutes beforehand. I thought at that point that you have to give to the men in gold, they can carry that handicap into these...

Lions would fill stadiums with local expats, let alone with people travelling with tours from B&I.

Mitchell was very good. Loved the composure to step around would-be charge downs and then kick (is it so hard, he who shall not be named?) and he just kept bobbing up at the right time. I would say that he's not the finisher he once was. Short that overdrive gear of pace he had before the...

Tomane cannot take a trick. Disappointing - dreadfully unlucky last year also. Morahan was brilliant on Saturday and as Link said has always seemed capable of those moments, but it's interesting how 40 mins at the right time of the year lands you in the squad (and maybe the time he has spent...

Yeah, thanks for clarifying. I feel suitably belittled for not reading what you hadn't yet written.

Skelton looked like he had run himself into the ground when he shuffled off, but he was in everything for a while there.

Beale is a more useful addition than Cooper. Covers 10 and 15 well, and Deans will want him to do both. Timing of his going off the rails was somewhat unfortunate. Who knows, maybe Deans' paddle board will be effective therapy and he will run out wearing 10 in 2 weeks.

Nice diatribe. I'm not so devout in my reds worship that I feel the need to pipe up that often, and the stupid part is that I intrinsically agree with some of your argument, but Wow. Getting over the advantage line and then offloading is all well and good when you can. Advice like giving away...

That would be a narrow game, running him at 10. Lends new meaning to playing what's in front of you.

25-13 to the tahs 6mins left Edit: kicks over, make that 28 - 13

He reaches a long way to snag the ball carrier legally. Very effective.

I thought maybe he had a corked thigh when he wandered to the sideline.
