North and Roberts might not make it due to injury. However much Gatland wishes he has two more games, surely it's the Aussies who will be undercooked in the first test. They haven't had a game since last year. If 1/2p continues to kick his goals so well, the first test won't be the problem.

Before the Aussies scored their 1st try the Lions had a penalty advantage. In my experience I can't recall a ref calling a penalty offence as 'advantage over' as this one did. So instead of what would be expected normally, at least 3 points for the attacking team (or the chance of), we had 7 points for Australia. A 10 point turnaround.


I understand 'advantage over' being played for lesser offences than a penalty kick but I don't understand this. Of course advantage can't go on forever but surely after x amount of time it goes back to the offended team. The only advantage the Lions could have got was a try which didn't happen.


Anyone got an opinion?


As for the game I think the Lions will be annoyed it was so close. They played for the most part not very well and will improve.The Aussies were like scavengers and good ones at that. I'm not sure about Phillips at SH and I'd love to know how they nearly managed to throw it away losing a scrum under the Aussies posts with a couple of minutes to go.

The British and Irish Lions have suffered a massive setback after influential lock Paul O'Connell was ruled out of the rest of the tour.


O'Connell, who was the 2009 tour captain, suffered a fractured arm in the 23-21 victory over Australia in the first Test in Brisbane.


And a scan on the injury has now revealed the extent of the injury, with O'Connell's tour now over.


It is a cruel blow for O'Connell, who had fought his way back from two serious injuries to make the tour.

A statement on the Lions website read: "British & Irish Lions lock Paul O'Connell has been ruled out of the remaining two games of the series against the Qantas Wallabies after suffering a fractured arm."

I'm sure it was worth it HMB. Always best policy to establish the length of pass achieved with the missus to avoid any messy disputes. I had an "all dayer" - a rare treat, but it was my mates birthday, which was handy.


It was also the only one of the three tests I'll see, so I made the most of it.

Gatland has not helped the Lions brand with his "Wales is good and eveyone else is sh1t" selection.


Thought that after a big representation in the opening test, Gatland would select a better balance of nationalities.


Can't see them winning. There I said it.


I don't disagree with BOD being dropped but I do think he should be on the bench for inspiration and leadership. Rugby teams need leaders and he's just gotten rid of one.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
