I think it’s a bit of a cod when the likes of VdF make the squad and doesn’t feature in an actual Test. He’s never going to make the next tour and with this series in the bag I’d have expected Faz ( the leery English cunt) to give him the start. The snakey fucker sent for his own lad despite hapes of other lads having been bursting their holes to make the squad. And then the cunt comes on….
Farrell is laughing his hole off at the entire process. Not officer class - a lucky general……
Lucky to be playing the worst team in the history of the Lions tours.
Darcy pointed out in the Irish Times this week that they only have 2 test players, Skelton and Valentini. When these 2 came off injured before the 45 minute mark, the Aussies had nothing to offer. They were lucky to get 3 points in the second half. A complete and utter rabble of an outfit.
The whole tour has been a damp squid TBH. Inept club teams, a horrendous combined Anzac oufit that Con’s seconds would beat. Might as well be touring Wales and playing their equally shite club teams.
“A record 90,000…saw the Wallabies…put the world on notice… Watch out for Game 3…”
A lot of heavy lifting being done by the Channel 9 PR team here.
“The world…” 
Small drop of rain in Sydney
“Just stitch me”
Raaaarrrrr the Lions roar
The misty rain is so aesthetically pleasing. This is a proper TEST MATCH.
Going to be hard for our boys to pull this one round and attain HISTORY.
It’s the first rugby match I have watched in close to a decade and the Cadbury Wallabies have bossed it.
Nic White is officer class. I love a good chippy Australian scrum half or wicketkeeper.
The number 11 who scored the try has been excellent. Firing into tackles and looking classy when he gets the ball. Finn Russell and James Ryan doing a lot of mouthing and little else
Captain Itoje is OUT of the rest of the series.
The chocolatey Wallabies at 8/11 looks like free money.
Australia looking to add to their fine record in Sydney against the Lions.
Not watching but sounds like our boys have gone into the sheds with a lot to ponder.
It’s gas that if these Irish lads achieved what they have in the pre-world cup era of 1987 then they’d probably be spoken about in hushed tones like those Welsh teams of the 70’s. They’ve won multiple grand slams, 6 nations, test matches against southern hemisphere teams, a test series in NZ and a Lions tour. But we all know they’re actually windy as fuck in knockout Champions Cup and World Cup rugby.
2-2 in TEST MATCHES since 1989. Australia will have been fuming to lose their 100% record in TEST MATCHES in Melbourne against the Lions last week.
I see after initially declaring he’d leave after this series Coach Schmidt is now scheduled to stay as chocolatey Wallaby coach until mid-2026 and then hand over to Les Kiss. This is a bizarre situation and I don’t know how it’s being allowed to happen.
Don’t you mean guys?
This is a TEST MATCH
A fitting end to the night for James Ryan taking a thigh to the head from Skelton who has walked all over him tonight - looks like he is out cold
Wouldn’t fancy talking Will Skelton’s enormous knee into the side of my head. Ryan out for the count.
He’s out cold and the Aussies playing “sweet Caroline”
