Queensland Reds v British & Irish Lions - Wednesday, 2 July 8:00pm

[Derpus]

Lions will click as the Reds fade and will put 40 on. You can tell the Reds are already struggling to maintain it.

 

[molman]

Really missing the experience of those absent Wallabies.

Yeh I’m hopeful but it feels like the Lions bench depth will overrun during the back end of the game.

I’ll be happy if the Reds fire at least one more shot and can keep the game within 20pts.

LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) looks great
Really taken it back to Itojo

honestly where are all our 6”3 105kg outside backs these days - oh wait all playing rugby league
Reds backline is tiny

 

[Dctarget]

Yeah definitely, Lions have fluffed 3 tries already. Gonna be a procession.

May as well get that lippy mulleted boy on now and see if he can do some fun shit.

 

[JRugby2]

These coats are only up by 9 against a B team after 40. Lions have less heart than a jellyfish

 

[molman]

You feel it coming, they're only a pass or two away from finishing some of their opportunities. Still, it's nice to see the Reds maintaining the effort and scrambling hard.

 

[Shiggins]

The lions aren't interested in running straight. It's out the back every time and wing to wing. Should be easy to defend against

 

[The 6 Seat]

LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) and Brial have been great dynamic ball carriers. Desperately need to shut down DVDM and Daly out wide.

 

[Yoda]

Finn Russell is good. Team is giving him plenty of options though which helps. I think there’s another 50 points coming for the visitors in the second half unless I’m mistaken.

 

[cyclopath]

Should be easy to defend against

Apparently not.

 

[Shiggins]

How goods Wednesday night footy ! The next month is epic

They’re both outplayed their opposite, as has Paisami. The rest less so.

 

[Shiggins]

Pushing up too much. Can sit back and let them run side to side. Will be interesting to see if the lions muscle up in the second half

 

[Strewthcobber]

Really excited about Brial. He's getting better with every game

 

[EyesUpFootyFan]

The lions play a very quick, expansive game. Whilst there have been a large number of handling errors, it’s to be expected with their game plan.

They’ve got an unreal power game that they can always utilise.

Reds haven’t had their best game imo. Lions first try was suspect. And they’ve also let a couple great chances get away from them.

I still think the lions will have a decisive half.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Is Caslick half cut?

 

[Super Hooper]

Unlucky for the Reds being punished for the Lions having a shit restart

Too much difference in hierarchy. When the Lions pick the ball, they easily gain ground.

 

[LeCheese]

Possibly even 3/4. When in Rome!

 

[Shiggins]

It's almost like they just want to get the ball handling in a really good place before the tests. I don't think we should expect them to play anything like this in game 1
