Wallaby pack bringing great physicality.

Best Aussie forward performance I’ve seen in about 15 years. Barring the fk up for sure.

[Tordah]

Very good first half Wallabies. Few mistakes, good defensive pressure, Lions not offering a lot so far against solid Aussie defence.

That Sheehan clean out on Lynagh should have been looked at. Defs a card.

Lots of stuff being let go at the breakdown. Tupou off his feet a couple of times diving into or over the ruck, also took one Lion's legs out

Sheehan very lucky not to be sitting on the sideline

After game 2, you would think they'd be watching out for that

terrible refereeing "no hands" as Wright was clearly allowde AND ABLE to steal that after the little Russel quick tap

By the same token, the penalty for holding on was pretty laughable when the wallaby was well off his feet and didn't even attempt to lift until he was fully lying horizontal.

Wallabies are gonna be battle hardened for the RC ..handing and physicality in these conditions has been superb
Skelton may need to rope it in

Yes, but I only point out the mistakes against the team I'm rooting for

[Wurzel]

If the Wallabies can bring this intensity against the All Blacks I’ll be very concerned

The first game in SA will be their big chance

Fk I hope Skelton puts a hit on Owen

I hope Farrell puts a shoulder into some one and finally gets a red card

Please God.

Not sure if Skelton will be available for the RC. Big blow for the Wallabies if he isn't.

Ref’s style suits Wallabies.

[Bones]

Oh and this is very much looking like shit selection finally coming back to bite Andy.

I say not on Skelton. His physicality is inspiring his team mates, and they're certainly following him.

The blow back from the decision at the end of G2, I thought they might police the breakdown a little tighter

[pooler fan]

Lions struggling to cope physically with the Aussies in these conditions.
Itoje and Freeman failing their HIA's make it Aus game to lose for me. Even though Freeman has been pretty poor over the 3 tests.
