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

[Garryowen]

We need to even up the possession stats or this game will get away from us.

It's a miracle we are only 1 pt behind.

I don't understand why Mowen wasn't positioned at the front of the line out and taking the front away from them

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Is JOC (James O'Connor) out there?

Yes. He is the bloke who has been at the hairdresser and brand advisors instead of attending kicking practice.

Solution. Place a mirror under the goal posts.

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

Say no more. He needs to pull something out this half or RD's little experiment just got blown.

 

[jollyswagman]

Sunrise here in the Pacific Northwest! Let's go boys!

 

[jollyswagman]

RD looks like he has seen a ghost.

 

[Rassie]

So Robbie any key focus areas for the 2nd half?
Robbie Deans: Run it in closer to the posts.

 

[hazzaj]

'we need possesion' - Deans . Shouldnt have picked Barnes then.

 

[Ash]

Genia kicks it out on the full.

 

[Ash]

Wallabies defend well at the maul, splinter it and force them over the touchline.

 

[Wales Fan]

Australian back 3 on now - arguably the most dangerous in the world ?

[Hugh Jarse]

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

If he was a kiwi, and this was world cup time he would be whitebait fishing now.

 

[ACT Crusader]

Ben Mowen excellent tackle

 

[Ash]

Finally a set move off the line out goes wide to Beale, who is tackled.

JOC (James O'Connor) makes a mess of it, holds it up and passes behind AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) who can only get a hand to it. Turnover.

Mowen counter rucks, and earns a great penalty.

Mowen saves JOC (James O'Connor)'s mistake.

 

[hazzaj]

JOC (James O'Connor) with the triple dummy managed to confuse AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) more than the opposition

 

[Slim 293]

JOC (James O'Connor) trying to outcrab Giteau.........

 

[Ash]

Interesting that JOC (James O'Connor) is not taking the set kicks - Barnes was and now Beale is.

Just a head knock for Barnes.

 

[ACT Crusader]

Matt Burke now decides to play referee....

 

[Ash]

JOC (James O'Connor) loses th eball in the tackle to Heaslip, Lions go wide but kick it away, could have countered.

Ioane gets back, and gets caught 25m from his own line.

 

[Ash]

Genua clears, charged now, Hooper grabs it, offloads. Wide now, out to Beale.

Wallabies looking hot on attack.
