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.

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.

[Tanifulla]

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

[sparky]

@NTA I think they are vulnerable if they encounter a team who, like Argentina, have the skills to really attack them.

Jones is locked in at 13

Agree. Live question as to who he partners with in the midfield. Tuipoluto in the box seat but we know Farrell could default to Aki.
