    I wasn't too bothered about who won Test One, but I hope the Wallabies win this one so we get a decider next week.

    @Canes4life agree on Bell.

    Gordon did ok given our forwards were getting trounced in the first half and the Lions were allowed to rush as they pleased most of the game.

    His place is now contingent on our forwards being better and the ref understanding the offside laws.

    Tuipolotu and Ringrose were injury scratchings.

    If you want a laugh, rewind back to when Kurtley Beale is on the mic. He predicts Drew Mitchell will pull a hammy, about half a minute later Drew gets in space and pulls his hammy. Bloody funny. He then proceeds to accept a beer from a fan and necks it before limping off the park.

    Do you know approximately when? Don't want to go through the whole game haha.

    Matt Giteau scored a classic chip and chase try too.

    Kurtley comes on the mic just after the 11 min mark on the game clock.

    I read the post you replied to and was thinking exactly that as I flicked on to this post.

    Kinda freaky experience.

    Looking at Wallabies, I genuinely think Schmidt appears to have settled on his preferred 23 (apart from injuries) before the Fijian test, and we will see fairly similar in 3rd test.
    I actually wouldn't mind betting he got RC and Bled at back of his mind already, and so building game long term around these players. They will or should be going well by end of series.

    I feel like the lead commentary makes it way funnier though. 😃

    They may not realise it, but in the long term, everyone involved in this game from Andy Farrell all the way down to the waiter and waitress in the corporate hospitality box need the Wallabies to win. Everyone needs the Wallabies to win.

    @game_film Not sure everyone. Everyone involved in Rugby in Australia for sure. But there's lots of talk in the UK and Ireland among Rugby insiders and sponsors already that the 2037 Lions tour should be to France.

    This game is worth tens of millions to the Australian economy.

    I may be the lone voice, but I have no desire to see the BIL tour France
