    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.

        Not the best game but a good contest.

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

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

              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.

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

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

                                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.

                                    Bundee has been better so far this tour cause Tuipulotu has looked rusty coming back from a long term injury but given how scratchy some of the combos have looked if he wanted to pick Jones at 13 he could be tempted to just play the Scottish 10-12-13 combo in the first test.

                                    I expect he's going to either go with that or just pick the Irish combo, a mix and match seems more risky.

                                          We fired him last year for getting drunk at the Xmas party and inviting the boss's mum back to the holiday inn.
