Thought Heaslip was below his best. When Adam is on the field the scrum works amazing. wit a couple of orc props, we made aussie scrum look good! PoC and AWJ outstanding.

Yup!

Looks strong but I wouldn't bother with JOC (James O'Connor). Stupid decision tonight to play him at 10. His distribution isn't good enough to play there. Genia who was brilliant played best when he forgot the man outside him. I'd be more worried about the forwards

It's not Walsh that worries me. Think he does ok. Joubert and rolland are my betes noires. Particularly Joubert since he masterminded the Murrayfield debacle this year

don't despair Dai. Heaslip has been good and I think with Toby we risk too many turnovers as he can spill the ball. I'm sure they target Cuthbert but otherwise no complaints other than backrow and that was always going to be difficult choice. I would have had either Tipuric or even better SoB on...

Haven't had chance to! I think he has been a stand-out. I would have gone for speed not power in backrow. But in cementhead we must trust!

Feeling like kiss of death after watching that. Brumbies certainly ambushed us. Crowd was great!

What pisses me off even more about Stuart Barnes is I played against him in School. He went to Bassaleg Comp in Wales so could've played for us if he had been good enough. Chose Bath and orcland instead. Bloody frustrating as a prop forward. We'd struggle in the pouring rain and mud to move the...

This sounds like clutching at straws.

I like the Lions backrow for tonight's game better than the so called first choices. Specially with L'idiot on the bench if plan A doesn't work

How cold is it in Canberra. Just wondering cos heater in car is on the blink

Went on gwlad and it seems to mirror thoughts here, cept for osprey fans who claim to be taking a day off to go on a bender to celebrate!

Unless you've got some insight into the inner workings of the Lions squad, I think you are exaggerating the impact of Shane coming to the squad on the cohesiveness of what seems at least from where I sit to be a group of players that are working well together an playing great entertaining rugby...

Think this is going a bit far even for you Plastic. This is ancient history, 2003 or 4 I think. You'll be bringing up Brian Price next since presumably that still rankles 43 years on! Ickle was one of the greatest players to play international rugby in the professional era. Apart from the...

I don't get it either. Almost seems like they're saying if the franchises won't pick serious players we wont either!

Surely its time to end the gripes and enjoy the rugby the welsh and Irish bois are serving up. Shame to see Jamie the jaw limping off but I would have had bod and foxy as my first choice centre pairing anyway. Poc and awj were excellent again and the front row awesome. Pleased for 1/2p again

In one place in the world its both. But there rugby is the national sport and state religion

I'm not complaining about last night's match that much. THink they could've done with a couple more top games before the test tho. Particularly when there is such competition for places in key positions. Conor Murray played like a man posessed. Sexton must surely be first choice 10. The pack...

Well, so far we have had one, against Queensland. Thought O'Brien was best player on park last night. I would like to see him play against international class oopposition with a view to picking him for the test. You might not like them being here, but all of the Irish players have been...

BTW. Would like to see O'Brien given a chance to play in a real warm-up game.
