Wallabies v Lions Game 2 MCG 26 July

[Upthemaroon!]

Gleeson should have gone for Wilson tbf but also stuck because they pick Tizzano for the bench and we can’t have him and Fraser on the field at the same time. CDC was hard done by who would have given balance

I think Hooper genuinely would have made a difference in this game

 

[ACT Crusader]

The last 10 minutes of the first half cost them the game. Had them dead to rights up 23-5 and switched off

One of those tries before half time was pretty impressive by the Lions, but the other was very soft.

 

[noscrumnolife]

Can’t change my mind that fishers defensive system lost us the game. Its woeful. Every time they had front foot ball they walked over us. Because our system has us running backwards

 

[Brumby Runner]

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

Well, that went well didn't it?

 

[Marbig]

Itoje didnt say a single word about the wallabies in his speech. Not an ounce of class.

EDIT: Even got another crack at it and still couldn’t muster it, hope the lads go Brisbane 1989 on these muppets next week

 

[Goosestep]

I think for a lot of you to pile onto JAS for two missed tackles is a bit much guys

Nahhh , he’s suppose to be this super human origin league tackling machine …..

Can I say miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiddddd

 

[Tomthumb]

One of those tries before half time was pretty impressive by the Lions, but the other was very soft.

Both were soft, and both came from Wallabies errors

Yeah instead chanting to the crowd

 

[The Red Baron]

And Itoje can fuck right off with his bullshit of trying to pull an opposition captain away from the ref. Wilson had every right as the captain to question the referee.

 

[noscrumnolife]

Having said that the scrum refereeing was woeful. Genges elbow was all over the ground in second half. So frustrating

 

[Upthemaroon!]

Well, that went well didn't it?

Can't say it wasn't exciting...

 

[Yoda]

Talk about a referee with ZERO idea for feel for a game and a series. A decision that could have definitely been a penalty to Australia and make it 1-1 and into a decider next week. He decides to ruin the game and award the Lions the series off a 50/50 call. That will turn so many people away from the game . PATHETIC!!

Man I am proud of the wallabies today. Well done boys. No one gave you a chance. You showed them how good we can be.

We just surrendered 30 metres every time they went wide. The bucket hat has been a great servant to the game here in Australia but his time has come and gone.

He can play bloody well though, aside from being a knobhead. He’s a English pocock.

 

[dru]

But what do you do, BR. Skelton and Valetini given instructions to to push to 11 for the full first 40. They did. But at some point you need 23.

 

[LookLongPlayShort]

Yes Agreed. very very poor

 

[ACT Crusader]

They weren't. Genge consistently dropped his side of the scrum in full view of BOK.

I’ll give Genge one, that sort of con job by a front rower has been going on since Adam pulled on a number 3 jersey. But he should’ve been penalised for the second one.

 

[Super Hooper]

It might seem unfair, but without JAS I think we win that. His defence lead to countless crucial plays from the Lions.

He should play on the wing where he can be a weapon and his defense failures can be fixed. On the centre he is a free highway for rivals

 

[Mr Pilfer]

Gutted, deserved to win and next week would have been huge but not meant to be. Itoje was huge.
very proud of the team though, great performance, if we play like that we can win the bledisloe (next goal now ha ha )
