The Silver Fern

A series that ended 2-1. A series that turned, in the end, on one play and one missed tackle. Sell out crowds of nearly 250,000 people at iconic sporting venues. Millions of dollars made for the Aussie economy. Tens of thousands of British and Irish tourists going home after a trip of a life time. Much debate about referees and TMOs. Thousands of yarns told over jugs of beer. Friendships forged between good rugby folk.

Let's stop right now all talk of the British and Irish Lions not touring Australia again.

Roll on 2037!

Greatest ever Lions, my arse.

These Lions are such an unlikeable bunch.

Well done, the Wobs.

Oh Farrell with a shoulder to the head.

He should have been given a lengthy ban a long time ago.

I think they will did another third half back rather than Noah Hotham.

Can the Wallabies screw up another Test in the last 20 minutes?

Another reason to build indoor stadiums......

Not able to watch the game. But just caught the score.

C'mon Aussie.

How did CL-W go?

How's Simon Parker going?

I hope I'm wrong but I suspect the Lions will win pretty easily. Lions by 15-25 points.

@NTA said in Wallabies vs Lions III:

Weather has been atrocious here today - heavy rain overnight then in waves today.

Lots of the Lions fans, especially any who grew up in Manchester, will be feeling at home.

Liverpool have had a £120m offer for Alexander Isak turned down and look set to walk away from the transfer.

Will Man City or Arsenal step in and match Newcastle's 150 million valuation for the Swede?

Is LR-Z off to Bristol Bears?

Louis Rees-Zammit is leaving the NFL and coming back to Rugby.

The NPC is fucking brilliant.

Just don't play the games in cavernous Test venues. Bijou venues are better.

Some staggering young talent on both sides for Irish recruitment scouts to get excited by.

Fantastic entertainment. What a game!

Gee, Oli Mathis looks a talent.

@pakman said in Auckland v Waikato:

Nick Gill is very big on the bronco test. But maybe 6’ 5” loosies ought to cut some slack, and accept that they’re gassed after 55 - 60, at which point you can potentially bring another on?

Maybe it's time to bin the bronco tests and realise that Rugby is a game of RAW POWER rather aerobic fitness these days?

How many Rugby Championships and Rugby World Cups are we going to sacrifice on the bronco test altar?

Lima Sopoaga reminding everyone what a good player he is.
