Australia vs Lions 3rd Test: Match Thread

[nathan]

First topic message reminder :

Thought i'd create this thread as there wasn't one already.

My prediction: One of two things will happen, Australia will hammer us or we'll win on penalties.

GAME OVER

[Hookisms and Hyperbole]

Ha! Sexton was not happy one bit there

[Golden]

Halfpenny is the player of the series anyway

[wales606]

Halfpenny just won player of the series!

[flyhalffactory]

Brilliant pressure from Davies led to that poor clearance to 1/2p who created the chance for North

[nathan]

red sun set..... how long do you think barnes took to come up with that?

[MR. scotland27]

Halfpenny's feet!!!

[Hookisms and Hyperbole]

Brilliant from Halfpenny. Outstanding

[kiakahaaotearoa]

Halfpenny positionally has been a ball magnet. Unbelievable play and sets up winning series try it seems. Corbisero did all the damage in the first half but Halfpenny finally showing what he can do on the counter attack has been the main destroyer for the Lions.  

[Cadair Idris]

So good to see tuppence showing his attacking talent in this game. North's been excellent as well and deserved that try.

[mckay1402]

I've been waiting for halfpenny to do that for ages. Great runner when he gets going

[nathan]

Genia has certainly not had one of his best days.

[alfie]

Try  

Surely that is it...

[Ozzy3213]

There is no coming back now.  That's the series!!!!  get IN!!!!!

[Hood83]

Halfpenny the difference. Superb

[MR. scotland27]

No question Halfpenny player of the series

[mckay1402]

[nathan]

ah up you Scots, big moment!!!

[2ndtimeround]

GAAAAATLAND. GAAAATLAND.

[alfie]

Halfpenny has been immense ...fitting he sets up the sealing touch  

[nathan]

GAAAAATLAND. GAAAATLAND.

It's his subs that have made the differnce imo

[Hookisms and Hyperbole]

Bring on the token Scot

[nathan]

Scrum still going well, pen to the lions.

[flyhalffactory]

HEY OOOOP!!......... I cannae believe it...... is this the token Scotsman coming on

 

[2ndtimeround]

Can Gats pick a team or not??????

[MR. scotland27]

ah up you Scots, big moment!!!

So proud

[nathan]

Well done corbs!! brillaint!

[RDSguru]

Riot

[nathan]

ROBERTS!!!!


OZ falling to bits!!

[Rory_Gallagher]

Australia have just imploded on themselves here!

[alfie]

And a Scotsman takes the field at last !

...and Roberts adds another    

[Biltong]

Well let me be the first to congratulate the Lions.

Didn't think they had more to give, but I was wrong.

Halfpenny, player of the series.

 

[nathan]

Can Gats pick a team or not??????

eh?

[Ozzy3213]

What a display.  The shackle draggers are gone!

[wales606]

Roberts wants his player of the series back...he will need a quick hattrick

[nobbled]

Great score! Lovely run from Roberts, from a beautifully weighted pass from Murray.

[GloriousEmpire]

Is it just me or so the lions look 1000 times more dangerous with Farrell running things instead of Boot-it-away sexton?

[Sgt_Pooly]

Roberts is playing?????? Get in there!

[RDSguru]

Gatland looked absolutley shocked when Doc went thru and over... fecking great

[GLove39]

Finally a Scot gets on.
Also lions into the 40's, how embarrassing for the Wallabies.

[nathan]

Tuilagi on for Roberts

[Cadair Idris]

Bod smiling - true legend

[alfie]

Gatland got a lot of flak for some of his selections...and from some knowledgeable people too ...but has he ever had the last laugh ...

[wolfball]

Great line by Roberts. And I cannot wait for Joe Schmidt to get his hands on Murray!

[nathan]

Gatland got a lot of flak for some of his selections...and from some knowledgeable people too ...but has he ever had the last laugh ...

he might well do!! including me!

[wales606]

Gatland made some huge calls, and they have all come off if you ask me

Hibbard, Corbs, SOB, Murray (from the bench), JD2, take a bow

[Rugby Fan]

I went to clean the toilet when the Wallabies got back to within three. I'd like to claim credit for the win for my selfless act, which clearly appeased the gods of rugby.

[kiakahaaotearoa]

What's pleasing to see is the Lions have really won this through enterprising play. They've counter attacked through running and not with the boot. They've gone for the jugular finally and they've probably won over the doubters with this second half performance. Or at least they've made the doubters lower their protests to an inaudible whisper. Good result for rugby to see attacking initiative awarded.

[markb]

Thank god we've finally started to play some rugby and we'll win by more than just the scrum penalties.  This is the first test of the series we've looked the best side and deserve to win.

Thanks for such a selfless deed, Rugby Fan.
