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

[ACT Crusader]

Huge moment for KB (Kurtley Beale)

 

[Ash]

Beale slips and misses. That's the game.

 

[hazzaj]

unreal. still time to take the kick and he BLOWS the whistle. fucking hell

 

[maxdacat]

How many effing missed kicks was it tonight?

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Game to us. Surely.

Fark, Shirley is Ugly.


KB (Kurtley Beale) forgets his long studs.

 

[Ash]

Really, really hope that doesn't affect Beale's state of mind. If it does, a big fuck you to Deans.

 

[maxdacat]

Good match feel sorry for KB (Kurtley Beale).

 

[jollyswagman]

Well, I place that result squarely in RD's lap.

 

[ACR]

Gotta say, I said this before he kicked it, what an absolute terrible patch of turf Suncorp stadium has. The whole reason that scrum got pushed back was the Lions scrum slipping out, just look at the turf churned up.

 

[ACT Crusader]

KB (Kurtley Beale) slips up. Lets hope he doesn't 'slip up' tonight.....

Great game to watch. Well done both sides. Very intense.

Folau barely touched the ball in the 2nd half. Shame really

 

[USARugger]

How many effing missed kicks was it tonight?

5, 14 points in total.

 

[Rassie]

Right guys. I guess this would be part of the Wallabies training videos

 

[AngrySeahorse]

I feel ill

Yep, me too.

Beale looks devo'ed. I rated us a real chance in this series but looking at the injury toll from this game - dunno anymore. I think the injuries to our back line may open up a return from Quade? Interesting times ahead. At the moment just disappointed with the result though.

 

[hazzaj]

14 points dropped. such a shame.

Dam I was all ready to praise Beale for standing up under pressure. Unlucky with the pitch which didn't help.

Yep.....pretty much across the board crap for all Australian pitches. The only one worse if the SFS. The only thing that place is missing is a few cow pads. Total tip of a field.

 

[ChargerWA]

Can we have a real 10 now please?

 

[Ash]

On the bright side, thought how forwards competed really, really well. Got over the advantage line very easily at times. Was good stuff.

Our reserve scrum was also very, very strong and nearly won us the game.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

What did St Sam do?

BO'D seemed to be more of a captain tonight.

The pitch was clearly crap so I don't know why he kept the sweeping action. Front on would have been less risky n
