Hope they don't send Farrell + B Youngs on at the same time, would like to see the latter have some time with Sexton

1/2p is a sniper

clsmooth

1/2p has to be nailed on after the 6N. Great player. Can't really pick a weakness in his game. And that boot..

ongarite

1/2p momma mia!!

What was the handicap -37?

Oh my god. Halfpenny's kicks have been - not just spot on, or even perfect - but beautiful to witness.

As would I, but I think it is the least likely pairing to play together in the tests.

Although, could happen in the last 10 of the 3rd test...:D

SOB and Heaslip make it? hard to see...That would mean not picking three of Lydiate (a Gatland favourite), Falaetau (the best 8 in the 6 nations and a Gatland fave), Tupuric (himself in great form, brilliant on Saturday) and Warburton (Tour Captain)...

Only time will tell

Love the Lions for this very reason

As it stands Halfpenny is nailed on for the test jersey.

trouttrout

Way too easy

KERSPLAT!

nice try from the WF..

i would have like to see this game last Week where the Force could have field a better Team,

But with the League on their Mind i can see why they would field a Weaker team.

Ruck Inspector

Sexton and halfpenny are both nailed on.

thomond2006

Ooh Sexton will be annoyed about that

ThisRegard

They won't be happy letting a try in under the posts with an advantage in numbers.

irishbucsfan

That was BEAUTIFUL

rockbeast

Tuilagi shot up too fast there.

Ian (Who?) evans can say goodbye to test spot and probably AW Jones too after today...Anonymous

Ruck Inspector

wonderful try

With a Big Game this Sunday for the WF you can see why they would field a weak team

Nice Try from BOD

Swiwi

OK, that was nice from Tualagi!

trouttrout

BOOM! Well done Parling too

Taco Corp

lovely stuff from BOD, Tualagi, and Sexton.

KERSPLAT!

WOW!! Really good from 10-12-13!!

Same here, not today it would seem.

Ruck Inspector

jesus western force are done

its_phil

BOD is nailed on for 13. Just no comparison with Davies (who is a very good player)

Lelantos

Very nice try, like the way Bowe & Murray are linking up throughout the game

thomond2006

Ben Youngs and Owen Farrell on

trouttrout

Next few minutes will be messy, Youngs has upped the pace nicely

Tox56

Youngs and Farrell will be playing on Saturday, let Sexton have some
time with Ben,.. good to see Farrell playing with some confidence

Anatidaephobia

That was great. I'm a fan of Murray, but Ben Youngs looked fantastic there.

ThisRegard

Ha ha, Sexton and Farrell.

Cork24

Just Looking at the Queensland Reds Fixtures,

June 8th their Playing Lions. their not playing then for a few weeks after. So we could hopeful see a Great game on our hands

thomond2006

Good finish by Farrell

KERSPLAT!

Nice run from Farrell

17-62 Lions 67 mins

clsmooth

Nice by Farrell

19543261

Happy for Farrel!

trouttrout

Have a feeling Heaslip might not get MOTM, which would be a real pity

Ruck Inspector

halfpenny will MOM

Tomtom364

Due to my new full time job I can't see any of this game and can barely follow live updates. (Also going to miss all the tests and all but 2 of the warm up games. Grrr)

Could anyone give me a brief summary of how well the lions are actually playing? Not just the score card.

Burgo

Yeah no surprise if he does get it.

KERSPLAT!

1/2p or Heaslip for MOTM

trouttrout

Ruck Inspector wrote: »

If so it would be just for goalkicking which would be a shame considering some of the nice ruggby the Lions have played

Halfpenny has been quiet enough bar the kicking

ongarite

Croft looks to be knocked out after that.

Very well. Structured with gameplan. Very encouraging.

stackerman

OUCH !!
