Australia v British & Irish Lions, 3rd Test (Sydney)

[hazzaj]

Good to see GG dressed in Gold tonight.

Probably got a better sidestep and pass to the left than Krudd.

Krudd actually tweeted about the game tonight, turns our he took the #GetRidofRed campaign pretty seriously.

Knowing the ARU, they will drag it out for weeks.

Then they will have an interview process that takes weeks.

And then, the coach might get a chance to prepare for the RC.

Dingo out

Thank God the Robbie Deans era is finally over.

 

[jollyswagman]

We need a new coach before TRC.......how can we make that happen?

Do you think it will help if I write a letter?

 

[NFL]

I don't know what's worse, the channel 10 coverage including thousands of shitty ads or the team itself..

I can only assume the Wallaby team management has come into possession of some "hover cameras" to keep an eye on JOC (James O'Connor) & Beale tonight . Replace that beer with some green tea boys & meditate this whole sorry event away (very zen). That's what I'll be doing, oh but then there's the ashes, & we are pretty much going to get reamed there. This is going to be a very painful phase of time......

 

[ChargerWA]

Was that the last trophy we had? Do we even need a cabinet anymore? ;-)

Of course, that is where the emergency rations of Chardonnay are stored. The ARU executive are secretly delighted, with that old thing out the way they will be able to get another 4 bottles in there.

Wallabies forwards were beaten left,right and centre, I felt for the bacline trying to stem the flow from that. By geez Gatland and crew sure had game plan worked out bloody well.

60' and George North scores. The Wallabies need to change the game up by bringing on impact players off the bench. Who does Deans have on the bench McCalman and Simmons, serviceable? yes, game breakers? no. Selection is a game changer in coaching and Deans has invariable gotten it wrong throughout his entire tenure. Time for him to earn his super in Europe but do the ARU have the gumption to get rid of him?
Well done to the Lions. Better team won the series.

 

[jollyswagman]

The BIL played a Brumbies-like game plan tonight. Looking at the success of both teams something has to be said about it's effectiveness.

 

[Dark Shark]

Congrats to the BI Lions. Played the consumate game and left no doubt about the result. What else can be said.....

 

[flat_eric]

Joe Tomane was completely out of his depth defensively tonight.

 

[redstragic]

Well played lions. Great tour and well deserved result. Totally different team tonight to last weekend.

Little tip for the future. Let them not bathe in the healing waters if Noosa.

Joe Tomane was completely out of his depth defensively tonight.

So were a number of other players, including Genia.

Congratulations to the Lions they deserved it and if it wasn't for some ref calls in the 2nd test it would have been 3-0 Deans must now be relieved of the coaching role and move on as coach of the Wallabies as the Smith exercise backfired, O Connor was poor throughout and I could go on. I haven't got behind the wallabies for 5 long years so for my sake please give me an Aussie coach and that coach should be Ewen!

If Jesse Mogg is not in the starting 15 for Australia in the Rugby Championship there is a huge issue. Was one of the best on ground for Australia tonight. His kicking is immense. We also need to select a specialist 10 - James didn't play to badly tonight, but needs improvement (perhaps that will come). Scored a great try before just before half-time, definitely ability there. Unlucky for the Wallabies though. We were on the back foot from the start.

Will be great to hopefully see McKenzie coach Australia, should have been selected to coach the side after the Reds won the Super 15 in my opinion. Jake White would not be a bad option either.

 

[Tommo53]

Congrats to the Lions, played the last game to perfection.
Hopefully the end of Deans.
Will be pissed if White gets the job over McKenzie.
So utterly pissed.

 

[FrankLind]

Changes for Australia.

I think Deans should be given more time and O'connor persisted with at 10. It'll come right eventually.

What do you mean you haven't got behind the Walabies in "5 long years?"

Are you really that fickle? Get behind your national team mate -thick or thin.
