Alan Medic Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 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.

Alan Medic Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Noticed they are selling tickets for ?10 incl breakfast and a drink. Does that mean you don't get in without a ticket or is that those who want breakfast?

Mick Mac Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 I'll buy a ticket to make sure i get in but can't imagine it would be sold out. I was at the edt for 1st test 4 years ago and it was busy but not bunged and was an afternoon match - so cant imagine a morning game will be quite so busy.

maxxi Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Anyone know if S4C are the only ones with highlights? Usual whinge to which I know the answer is probably get sky or go to a pub - or I could just forget it and follow it in print - like boxing.

Alan Medic Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 http://www.irblaws.com/index.php?law=8&language=ENBefore 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.

Mick Mac Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 About 5 minutes ago. Very long day yesterday. Left the house at 1030am and got back at 1230 am. Lots of family duties today. Great game but seems a long time ago now. Who won ?

Mick Mac Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 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. Live on Sky SportsLive International Rugby UnionMelbourne Rebels v British & Irish LionsJune 25, 2013 10:00am... 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."

Mick Mac Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 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.

Mick Mac Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 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.

JohnL Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 He wants to play Gatlandball with the NH Ref Poite there.Very Surprised at BOD dropped - The Doc + BOD was my midfield all along.Still 23 Lions in the squad not 11 Welshmen 7 Englishmen 4 Irishmen 1 Scotsman in my view.
