Anyone know the pre match odds?

I gave them no chance of scoring

[Duluth]

@NTA Yeah I was expecting a gap of 60 points

[canefan]

FNP hanging around and hot on attack. This is close

[canefan]

They have to keep the ball in hand

[MiketheSnow]

Lions have been poor

Too cute, not direct enough

Got nervous playing their width game after the intercept

[Duluth]

A kick???

[canefan]

Why did McLeod kick it? Probably wouldn't have gone 60m but jeez don't kick it away with time over

How good is it for that McLeod guy? Plays club Rugby in Canberra and just out there ripping in with internationals

Kicking the ball was a bold play haha

[Yeetyaah]

Why did he kick it

[Bones]

I'll forever be perplexed at the thought process going through a player's head when they kick long upon hearing the hooter.

[NTA]

Wanted the chase but there was no way they could get closer than the chasing players.

And probably played league growing up

Well done FNP

If they’d had a hard running 12 trucking it up and committing the back row and 10/12 channel they could easily have won this

[canefan]

The last Lions try came on the back of another ill advised chip kick. But FNP put up a brave fight

[NTA]

Every Lions player out there looking unhappy bc they know they just shit the bed in terms of selection

[Grooter]

First nations Pasifika bloody great effort fair play proved a real contest. Stoked my Scottish wingers and Lions 1-12 multi came in tho

[KiwiMurph]

There should be some people involved in that AUNZ team (coaches and players) who should be feeling sheepish watching that game.

The less fancied FNP were far far better in comparison.

Starting Kalani Thomas was also a massive mistake

That attacking chip kick would have excited BB. What a waste of valuable ball

Now called "The Ardie Gambit"

Incorrect, they kicked into the opposition's 22, not in their own 22. More aptly the Barrett gambit
