"Because of the match he's getting a yellow" Uhh Steve you could get into trouble for that.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

"Because of the match he's getting a Yellow!" Hmmmm

 

[cyclopath]

I like Steve Walsh as a ref.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

I like Steve's reasoning behind giving only a yellow.

 

[ACR]

Well, obviously, that's a red. I'm glad Walsh only gave a yellow though, he didn't need to express why though.

holy shit maitland is quick

Interesting decision from Walsh on that one. Told Parisse that "because of the match it's a yellow" for Brits punch on Farrell.

Farrell temperament in question again. One clearance kick straight to Payne for a half chance for the Baa Baa, followed by a charge down. Then his holding on at the subsequent ruck lead to his club mate taking a full blooded swing at his chin.

He's rattled. If Sexton gets injured Lions are fucked.

Not as if we are exactly flush with in-form 10's either.

 

[hazzaj]

walsh is so good, why is he being wasted on this game

 

[hawktrain]

Farrell obviously got his father's toughness, took that punch and didnt even blink!

Foley, Lilo, Too - unfortunately Deans has his head in the sand

 

[Bardon]

If Farrell keeps going like this for the rest of the game I wouldn't be surprised if Wilkinson is on a plane to Aus some time next week.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

^^^ Is that the IRB Player of the Year 2012 that we are talking about?

 

[Bardon]

holy shit maitland is quick

He is quick but would have expected him to finish that chance. Would have been good to settle his nerves.

 

[ACR]

Foley, Lilo, Too - unfortunately Deans has his head in the sand

All uncapped. First test against the Lions? I would prob pick one but Deans would NEVER.

We have JOC (James O'Connor), Barnes, Beale, Lilo - not concerned.

Lions scrum very good, as expected.

But where will DIngo play these?

 

[qwerty51]

But where will DIngo play these?

JOC (James O'Connor) is the 10 we know that. Barnes will play 15. Beale will backup either from the bench. Lilo the next man in for 10 if all 3 go down.

 

[Bardon]

Great contest between Roberts and Rokocoko for that high ball.
