The Rugby Thread

I’m on the train to Xi’an….. followed it on Twitter, a win’s a win! Seems the bench made a much better impact than last week

I wonder if he’ll go more of the same or mix it up for the last test

Thinking back the two tries just before HT from Curry and Jones probably rescued the game. Was looking like a long way back at 23-5.

What do we think of that clear out at the end? Penalty or no penalty?

[Buzzo]

No pen for me.

If that gets given then pretty much every ruck ends up with a pen. Also the OTT dive from Tizzano was shameless.

[Sus]

Don’t be like that Buzzo, read the room here from the Aussie

[Buzzo]

As a Scot we get pretty used to big decisions not going our way pretty much every year

It was a tough defeat for you guys, but, genuinely I don’t see that as a pen.

Fair enough!

Note to self: Add Buzzo to my list

Pen in my humble opinion .

I went to the game - picked up cheap last minute tickets in great seats and drove down from Sydney. The atmosphere in the MCG was electric - Wallabies played really well in the 1st half then it got more tense as the game wore on. That dive at the end by the Wallaby guy was pathetic … no penalty anyway. Great win by the Lions

[Buzzo]

Good half from the Wallabies. Biblical rain ruining the spectacle somewhat.

The rain was incredible. Madness that Tupou and White weren't playing when the Wallabies were pussies in the first two tests. O'Connor should be playing fly half too in all honesty. Coughed up the last game but Schmidt's selections haven't helped.

[Buzzo]

I’ve never seen rain like that in a live sporting match

Mad game really. Now players off due to lightning. Loads of failed HIAs (Ryan nearly getting his head knocked off by Skeltons knee). Wallabies were so **** in the first test in particular it makes you wonder how the entire tour might have gone if they hadn’t been so under cooked.

Jorgensen always looks a great player whenever I watch the wallabies.

Nic White is always class. So much niggle but he’s absolutely dominating.

[SB]

Yeah the Wallabies.

[Saveloy]

What the hell was Sweet Caroline and Wonderwall all about during a serious injury ?!

The transport back from the ground was shocking. Only got back half an hour ago.


Even the Wallabies fans near me admitted Nic White had 'pest energy'

They were deserved winners though

[Buzzo]

Yeah ‘sweet Caroline’ when Ryan was getting his head re-attached to his neck was ****ed up.
