According to Rugbydump Sam Warburton has been officially ruled out of the decider through injury. Seeing as he was arguably the best player on the park on the weekend, and they have already lost another notable leader in POC, that is a major loss.

Probably. Surrounded by Lions supporters you have to understand I was in very bad shape emotionally by the 70th minute.

Don't get me wrong. I was at the game and never gave up hope of snatching a win. I love our national team and was just about the happiest person in the stadium at fulltime. But let's not sugarcoat this, that was a completely rudderless performance, saved by a few moments of individual brilliance.

Even if we win next week I hope the ARU are smart enough to realise that that our national team needs to go in a different direction. Without Deans.

The game is there to win but we need to step up and earn it. JOC (James O'Connor) needs to be pulled if things don't improve soon into the 2nd half.

Does anyone know if they are bringing the stands in (rectangle mode) at Etihad Stadium on the weekend?

Not to mention all the rain that has fallen in Sydney this month.

Excuse my ignorance but what is up with the 8 man benches?

He's never been particularly consistent.

There seems to be a bit of Force v Brumbies coming into the argument about who should start on the wing. Let me bring a neutral's perspective to the table. I think Cummins should start, he's earned it and should match up well defensively with the big Lions wingers who caused some damage on the...

Was Pat McCabe actually healthy enough to take the field against the Lions? It seems this re-injury might have been avoided if he wasn't rushed back into the Test fold. Might have received some bad advice along the way. All the best for his recovery. A quality rugby player that gives his all for...

What exactly are you talking about? Pretty disappointed with those ratings for the first Lions Test, thought there had been reasonable promotion of the series. I imagine/hope if the Wallabies are able to square the ledger this weekend, the third Test in Sydney will come somewhere close to State...

That went entirely as expected.

Looks like a fair smattering of green around from where I'm sitting. Not sure if it will exceed the Melbourne A-league derby.

Whoever is at flyhalf for the Rebels is having an absolute shocker. Can't get anything to go.

This will be the team.

I wonder if this will void his contract in Europe.

There is no way this should ever have happened. Unbelievable.

Interestly enough over on the predominantly European oriented 'therugbyforum', the posters seem to think there was nothing in the Horwill stomping incident, whereas here it is an entirely different story. Make of that what you will.

Were you watching live or on delay? From my experience during this Lions tour the Sky commentary only works when watching live.
