Wallabies v Lions Game 2 MCG 26 July

[dru]

So the first session before oranges. Skeelton and Valetini, just wow. Everything we wanted but more.
Wright letting us just love our rugby.
Line out holding.
Scrum a down grade. Why?
Did the Lion fight back happen starting down a man?

It's all to play for.

Our restarts are going straight to Gibson Park who exits fairly comfortably. Would like to see this changed up.

 

[drewprint]

Jesus this is electric. Lions look stunned. Do I dare to dream?

You do! Shout them home mate.

 

[Super Hooper]

Okay but with Bell, Pollard and Gleeson coming on you can imagine the WB can at least keep up this level of play. Exciting second half coming up

For neutral supporters. Not recommended if you are a Wallabies fan lol

 

[Upthemaroon!]

This might be a topic for the Wallabies 2042 thread, but can we get Skelton's kids in the Wallabies setup asap?

Perfect summation m8

Best Wallabies test I've watched in about ten years! Fire up!

Do I dare to dream?

Yes you do, we’re the better side this game

 

[Yoda]

My worry about Tate now is we lose his electricity of the bench replacing Gordon? Unless the plan is to bring Donaldson on when Gordon is cooked. If so hopefully Tate still has plenty of spark.

They only have one back reserve now. Donno won't get on.

 

[Shiggins]

We look decent with ball in hand. Im not sure the stats in the first half but it felt like we had a lot of the ball. The lions scored with not a lot of possession and they made some simple errors. It's game on. Anything can happen

I love a ref that doesn’t let a team get away with the bullshit they got away with last week as well!

O’Keefe as touchy being taught a lesson

 

[Super Hooper]

The Wallabies' last 6 minutes were a mess

Gleeson and tizzano could play in the backs of they had to. I'm not saying well but they would still bend the line in the middle enough

 

[Running_rugby_1954]

It just feels like the potential we all see is now playing as they should. A big kick up the ass this week? How do we play like this every week?

 

[Brumby Runner]

Thought Slipper got lucky for not releasing in the try

He was never on the ground, so no tackle.

 

[Tomthumb]

Agreed. They have got to reset and start fast in the second half to stop the Lions gaining confidence

 

[Shiggins]

The way skelton cleans out is just perfect. Even after a run where it looks like we don't make the advantage line, by the time skelton cleans out it almost makes it into a good run.

I do worry about the lions kicking. Gibsons box kick has been almost perfect bar 1 or 2 and the kicking from hand is something else. If the lions can pin us back it won't be an easy second half

 

[Shiggins]

He was never on the ground, so no tackle.

Yeh he was on knees and flattened out. It's fine. Plus Lenny scored 2 rucks before anyway.

 

[drewprint]

More nervous now than I was before kick off. Fuck I hope we can keep rolling on, terrible to ship those easy points at the end of that half.

Make some noise, Melbourne.
