That's a joke lineup btw, Gatland has just stuck with his national side buddies.  A number of your lot let us down in the first test (didn't watch the second), Philips @ 9 in particular and Davies added little (despite his try), and we know Hibbard isn't as good as Youngs @ 2.  Gatland has basically just gone for size/power and left us with no spark to creat anything to unlock the Wallabie defence.

All I can say is thank-god George North is fit and on the field.

Depends how you define dull/boring. I find watching ponderous un-talented oafs like Fury stumble and swing around the ring whilst getting dropped by nobodies boring. On the other hand I found Lewis' destruction of Golota and Grant very entertaining indeed.

Gatland has gone all conservative for the last test. I think the only thing stopping him from fielding Cuthbert and Tipuric was the international incident it would have caused from fielding 12 Welsh.

I expect you lot to be cheering on the Lions however Welsh dominated it is

They are representing YOU after all  

I will be cheering the Lions, as always. I just dont think Gatland has done a great job on this tour so far. I think most of the fears people have had about his management have been realised over the course of the tour. Im not optimistic tomorrow, and Wales record against Australia in the ast number of years doesnt offer consolotion but hopefully they can do it.
