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.

@Canes4life Pietsch is bigger?
I read the post you replied to and was thinking exactly that as I flicked on to this post.
Kinda freaky experience.

I would have said the opposite eh.

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.

@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

Those people are retarded. Australia has a long history with the Lions and has been competitive. This tour isn't even over yet and the first Test wasn't even a blowout.

@antipodean IMHO the pull of Australia as a country for visiting Lions supporters will keep it on the Lions schedule. Touring Australia is a bucket list experience for many English, Welsh, Scottish and Irish Rugby supporters.
But I could see some warm-up games in France or Argentina or a test against Fiji rather than them playing all the Australian Super sides again.
Ultimately it's up to the BILs where they want to tour.

Well I don't think it will happen, but people saying it are people like the Chaiman or the likes of the Lions. I can't see it happening as Aussie states pay so much to get these games in their cities. Though I can understand why it thrown out there. A bit of publicity etc , help get more money in for this tour etc?

Absolutely. For the home teams it is already 12 years between tours. That's long enough. Make it 16 years and you lose those fantastic stories like Morne Steyn (the fluffybunny) kicking a last minute penalty to win the 2009 series and then doing the same thing in the 2021 series.
Also don't fuck over 100+ years of tradition in order to make even more money out of something that is already a giant money spinner.
Just fuck off and leave my game alone.

The adjective upstanding is good for describing someone who is a good and honorable person, like your trusted best friend.
A person with a reputation for honesty and strong morals can be called upstanding. The word is often paired with citizen, especially when someone's talking about a public or well-known figure: "Everyone knows the high school principal is an upstanding citizen." Its root is Old English, and the earliest meaning was literally "standing up." It wasn't until the 1860's that upstanding gained the meaning of "honest and respectable."
