British Loins Tour to Australia 2013 - Official Thread

3rd man tackle there at the start of that run.

Appalling from Sky as their picture cuts out and misses the Queen’s Land try.

Our captain won’t be happy with that but a very well taken try all the same from Morahan.

We expected the Test team to be Welsh-dominated but some of their boys have not shown too well so far on the tour. Cuthbert, Warbs, Davies, Wyn-Jones and Evans need to up their game.

Quade Cooper may have blown his last chance by gifting a try to the Loins on a plate there but Jonathan Davies’ kick ahead was too hard. The Welshman will be disappointed with that.

Fazza brings the deficit back to the minimum.

Lydiate gives away a penalty after more good work from T-Bowe.

Manu Tuilagi has “a shoulder injury”. George North on in his stead.

We’ve been worryingly slack at the breakdown.

We’re giving away too many penalties.

George North has certainly not been affected by the Welsh malaise and that was a scintillating run to set up Fazza who should have done better.

Morahan really putting his hand up for the Tests on the Aussie side. That’s a bizarre call to say that Farrell knocked on there though when it was clearly Morahan who did.

Very worryingly so.

Great work by Ben Youngs and the scrum. Fingers crossed.

Try Loins. Youngs.

Oh my word. Sensational from George North. Surely the captain can’t have failed to score there?

Sam Warburton denied what would have been one of the greatest tries ever scored by a British Loins team. I think the captain must take some of the blame however as North had set him up so well that he should have finished it. Sean O’Brien, on current form, would have. Quade Cooper despite that appalling mistake is showing well and can take much credit for stopping Warburton.

Crucial pre-half-time moments here.

Let those gimps off. Either stay in bed and pamper yourself with grub or get out and check out a bit of Cork. If it’s nice weather the open top tour bus takes only 45mins and it would be a great way to ease the hangover with a bottle of pop.[/quote]
Of course Farmer can’t sit on any other type of bus. Does the tour pass under any bridges though? You don’t want a beheading on a stag.

Great half of rugby football. Much for Gatty to work on at half-time but we’ve gained a lot of momentum over the latter stages of the half, and it’s vital that the boys are tested to the full ahead of this day two weeks.

Sexy on for T-Bowe who has been forced out by a hand injury. Hopefully only precautionary.

Another penalty for Fazza and that’s now 15 out of 15 kicks in the last two matches for the Loins. Very reassuring that we have so many excellent kickers to punish any Australian indiscretions.

An absolutely sickening clash as Beau Robinson takes the full force of Mako Vunipola’s head. He was out cold before he hit the ground.

Considerable drop in intensity thus far in the second half up to that injury.

Big hit by Faletau which almost resulted in a try for the captain.

Loins cut open there as Nick Frisby runs in for a try. 12-19 now and the Loins bringing on the big guns - Hibbard, Adam Jones and O’Connell on. Very bad conversion miss for the Queen’s Land there.
