Wallabies vs Lions III

[Tordah]

What was that, thought they scored

[NTA]

Great win. Real grit and all that.

We still lost the series so it's a bittersweet taste

[Canes4life]

Thoroughly enjoyed that. Well done Aus. Bring on the Bledisloe this year.

[Tordah]

Worst refereeing performance since Marius Jonker in the third Lions Test 2025

[Steven Harris]

Well done Wallabies man have they come a long way since RWC

[akan004]

Wallabies have some outstanding loosies, and Skelton certainly brings a hard edge to that pack. Unlucky not to win the series.

[KiwiMurph]

If you told RA at the end of RWC 2023 that Wallabies would win a Lions test and come within a whisker of winning another they would have been jumping for joy

[game_film]

Thank god that’s over.

[Bones]

Well done Aus, shame you couldn't have found that grit a bit earlier.

Ikitau was fantastic

Selection questions should haunt Australia, why not select Tupou for the 23 in tests 1&2? Why wasn't Uru involved?
Farrell made some odd selections too, Aki, Freeman and Lowe were pretty poor throughout.
Tuipolutu if fit is a couple of levels above Aki these days.
Biggest question for me though is why do Australia wear orange instead of gold??

The non selection of Tom Hooper in test 2 should be added to that. Crazy.

Is Gleeson a better bench option than Hooper? Not for me.

A good point. I guess I was thinking more about starting players. Gleeson is a good bench option for when the game breaks up a little

Sheehan gave a good post match interview.

Unlike Itoje who was a bit of a tool after Tests 1 & 2

I'm not sure Tom Hooper would have been as effective last week - his game suits a grinding wet weather style. Last week was far more open
