Wallabies v Lions Game 2 MCG 26 July

[Running_rugby_1954]

Wallabies bus arrived 25 minutes late to the MCG for their warmups

Who was late? Maybe they just want to bathe in the pressure..

 

[Shiggins]

Ahhhh faaark. Nervous

 

[bhim]

Not sure if the Stan coverage mentioned it, but started watching the Sky Sport coverage as it started earlier and it was a big talking point for them with them showing the Wallabies just getting off the bus at 7

 

[Shiggins]

I want to see physicality. I want to see the wallabies make big hits, even if they are a tad late. Don't care. Just smash these pricks and make them know they are in a test match. I want to see our backs have some ball and depth so they have time with the ball. I want to see our defensive line shut down the out the back play from the lions and look for intercepts.

I really want to see Russel get out under pressure and hit hard. I've seen him lose it and make plenty of mistakes but last week he was never under any sort of pressure

 

[Shiggins]

Hahahaha old mate wasn't happy the bloke with the flag spilt his bear. See that ?

 

[Uh huh]

The safety of seeing that absolute mountain Skelton in the huddle

 

[Uh huh]

Hahahaha old mate wasn't happy the bloke with the flag spilt his bear. See that ?

The indignation on his face was priceless, while old mate with the flag was having the time of his life gurning for the camera.

 

[Shiggins]

Looks like a home game for the lions.

Hahaha it was so good I had to rewind. Old mate was waving that flag all over his face hahaha

The first tricky dick lineout aargh! At least it worked.

 

[Shiggins]

Lions are offside already. It's unreal they don't ref it

 

[dru]

Skelton playing dialled up to 11.

 

[Uh huh]

An advantage of having Skelton that I didn't think of: how much length he adds to the ruck base. The breakdown was on the 10m line and Gordon took the box kick from the fkn carpark.

 

[dru]

Throw over the top. Not a dick line out but not to a jumper either. Ging well though

 

[Shiggins]

Good man called offside. Love it

 

[Shiggins]

Bobby V running over people. Love it.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Still flat footed. Faster passing though. Thank fuck Valetini is there so we have a backrower who can get over the ad line.

 

[drewprint]

Take the lineout boys! (I have Porecki as first try scorer). In all seriousness good call to take the three, good start boys!

 

[dillyboy]

I know test points are important but I'd have been tempted to go for the corner there ....

Gordon finally not taking half an hour to pass
