Warburton gets a lucky call to make up for the first one

How the hell was Warburton given that? Lying on the ground grabbing the ball. Unbelievable. Peyper clearly feels he needs to give the Lion's something, not a chance he couldn't' see that from his touch line.

Was thinking the same, clearly he does yoga to be supporting his body weight in that position :pac:

Nasty clash in the middle SOB and read


Got that wrong, two different instances

Baffling decision. Was there an infringement beforehand?

OK, on his hands....which means he's gone to ground.

Savea is such a beast. Crazy that a man can be that big and strong but still so quick and agile.

irishbucsfan

Shocking mistake from ALB there, why take the risk?

Which Shoulder did O'Brien have the surgery on?

Thats very different to lying on the ground though isn't it? Jacklers get away with that multiple times a game. That answers your original question.

Were his hands on the ball at the time?

CurryFlavoured

Don't know how Warburton got that. He was stumbling about that ruck like a newborn calf.

LuckyGent88

No replay of that penalty?? I actually thought the ball was out. Nobody playing scrum half for the lions

Sephiral

Warburton, Itoje and O Brien keeping Lions pack in it.

Surely Read should have been sent for a HIA there?

There was no one on their feet

Last two calls have been lucky ones for the lions.

Can't believe you guys are even arguing the point! It's abut as blatant and obvious as it gets.

Watson is seriously good under the high ball.

BBDBB

Sexton looks in pain

NZ will get another try before half time.

Looked like neck

Sexton and Watson have been both good so far

molloyjh

Sexton gone. Balls.

Schwanz

Class defending there from the All Blacks

Looks like an ankle injury for Sexton. SOB looks very uncomfortable. Not great for Leinster tbh.

Pudsy33

If Sexton is gone we're boned

LuckyGent88

Pity for Jonny. Has been getting up gingerly the last few carries

They argue about everything, they are like sky sports its only wrong if its NZ doing it

Mr.Crinklewood

I'm cooking bacon at half time if anyone wants some.

NO footage of what happened Johnny?

They're special guest stars at Leinster these days.

Sephiral

Hard to see much of a chance without Sexton. He's really shown his class as tour has progressed.

Farrell might pick up at flyhalf, but he is simply not as good and lions will be narrower. Teo'o might give momentum at least.

irishbucsfan

Devastated for Sexton

Has Farrell completed a tackle or a pass successfully yet?

molloyjh

Really good score. What were the Lions at in midfield?

WHAT A TRY.

Finally something sticks.

BBDBB

Yep through sextons channel unfortunately

Great call

Sexton has I'd say a 30% chance of running that off.

Happened in a tackle. Nothing malicious

That was Farrell drifting in and pulling Davies with him.

Sephiral

Jesus Johnny, you need two legs to play rugby. They were always hitting him there.

Boom. :P

That offload is what does it. Just class

Brilliant score, finally held one of those balls

Davies felt he had to come in and help Farrell there. Super offload though to finish of a deserved try
