I absolutely hate the yelling at opposition errors. Fuck me, our game used to have standards and values.

Aaron Smith says hi

Speak of the devil !

Is Callaway on the outer with the Wallabies, or just softening up the Lions ahead of the tests?

Potter and Jorgensen probably the favoured wings and then Daugunu but lots can change - Wallabies play tomorrow

The skill execution by the Tahs tonight was very average. Almost every time they’ve had the ball in the last 20-30 mins they’ve fkd it.

Lions who put their hand up: jones, Mitchell
Lions who put their hands down: Finn smith

Rest. Meh.

Tahs: huge heart.

Interested to see the handling error count between the two teams.

sparky

@NTA Is he cheering loudly at errors by both sides?

KiwiMurph

Tahs can be proud of that. Might not have been skilful but tried their guts out

NTA

We reduced it to a pit fight, and stopped the juggernaut.

Not a great game for the razzle dazzle, but I'll take the moral victory

sparky

A third win for the Lions on Australian soil, but an unconvincing performance in many ways.

Huge heart from the Waratahs, but they lacked the skills to make it count.

Sadly, what I'll probably remember most about the game in a few days time is the baffling officiating. We really should be talking about the players not the officials yet again.

Terrible game all around.

Catogrande

Not the best game but a good contest.

Darth Sader

Wallabies will definitely have to bone up in the scrums to have a chance against this outfit

KiwiMurph

Cool thing for Hugh Sinclair to play in that game in his last game.

Bovidae

That was a gutsy effort from NSW when you consider they had two halfbacks who were throwing out some terrible passes all game, and they made some dumb decisions from penalties and free-kicks. You couldn't fault their commitment on defence.

He spoke well, you can see how much that meant to him. Respect.

Cool story, bro

After that, both the Brumbies on Wednesday and the Anzac squad next Saturday will believe they have a good chance of downing the Lions........

Anzac game should be fun

NTA

Tackle completion was
76% Tahs
82% Lions
Hardly exceptional for a team of Test players
