Australia vs British and Irish Lions - 1st Test (Brisbane)

[Ash]

Halfpenny missed!! 13 - 12 at half time, to the Lions.

Close game, but the Lions have had the better of it in the first half.

Genia and Folau brilliance have kept the Wallabies in it, North brilliance for the Lions hit back.

 

[hazzaj]

yeah sucked in lions you didnt deserve that!

barnes off means we wont kick possession away, just send it wide and confuse them with this weird running game we play and we have this.

 

[ChargerWA]

Guys, the "gee I'm glad Barnes got hurt" stuff is fucking distasteful.

No one is glad, we love the bloke. But he has looked like a liability all night.

 

[Mr Doug]

You would want to get rid of Barnes now but who comes on.

Prophetic words HJ!

 

[hazzaj]

Guys, the "gee I'm glad Barnes got hurt" stuff is fucking distasteful.

His kicking game is seriously hurting us.

Sky Barnes calling for yellow card on that last penalty, then red card. If there was an effin purple card, he'd be calling for it

 

[FilthRugby]

Wallabies very lucky to be still with 15 men going into the half. Been a good game thus far.

Surprising we are still in touch at half time with no real ball to speak of. Where the hell is our backline gone aside from Falau. JOC (James O'Connor) is nowhere to been seen. He is the 10 and touches the ball about once every fourth phase then runs to the wing - WTF?

 

[Richo]

A lot more exciting, attacking rugby than expected. At least for the first test.

Genia and Folau brilliant, the rest of the backs anonymous.

Fat Cat, Mowen, Horwill have stood out for me in the forwards.

Caaaaaaaarn the Wallabies!

 

[aussie1st]

Our backline looks much better now with Beale on. Losing Lilo is hurting in the goal kicking front.

 

[ChargerWA]

Is JOC (James O'Connor) out there?

 

[jollyswagman]

AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) defense is fantastic - he is being a total PITB around the rucks.

 

[Bardon]

What an amazing game so far. Take your state of origin and stick it where the sun don't shine.

 

[jollyswagman]

Is JOC (James O'Connor) out there?

He is nowhere - it is all Genia! Seriously a joke.

 

[fatprop]

I think Folau's contract price has gone up

 

[ChargerWA]

To'omua doing anything currently? Some on should give him a call and see if wants to have a run.

 

[Ignoto]

Is JOC (James O'Connor) out there?

Yeah he's the guy who's pissed away 8 points. Berrick and James have cost us more points than Quade would have ;-)

Caaaaaaaarn the Wallabies!

No problems with Squeaky Moore's efforts so far

 

[ChargerWA]

I think Folau's contract price has gone up

Worth every cent. He is the real deal. I actually think wing in test match rugby is his spot. He would be wasted at 15.

 

[Rassie]

Halftime :O'Connor at 1st receiver from set piece/recycled ball used only 3 times, run, kicked, passed once. Sexton 0,3, 12 respectively
