[Tim]

Would love to see GPT get some minutes here.

Hemmington took the wrong option going blindside

Two things:

Angus Gardner is a reffing superstar.

I am loving this game.

He's good. Some of the obstructions should just be scrums though, IMO.

Was that a yellow for Sinckler? UK commentary completely missed it

[Sapetyvi]

I don't understand why that kind of tackle where the defender drags the carrier into the ground head first, isn't deemed dangerous play? It is basically a tip tackle.

[Tim]

@SimonAdd_2 Just a penalty. Ref clarified: "wasn't late, just no arms."

[Stargazer]

@SimonAdd_2 No yellow.

[Tim]

@Sapetyvi Can imagine there will be a "rule clarification" regarding it in the next 12 months.

[No Quarter]

Bloody hell, does Sopoaga have a tenner on the Lions?

[Tim]

That's a mixed performance from Sopoaga tonight ...

[KiwiMurph]

Not the first game that Lima has looked erratic this season

[No Quarter]

Well taken try from Warburton. He'll be captain in test one.

[SimonAdd_2]

Lions almost butchered that. Nice line from Joseph again followed up by terrible hands from Henshaw and Biggar. Nice work from the forwards to reclaim it.

[MiketheSnow]

Fuck we made hard work of that.

Now get Warburton off.

[Tordah]

Lions tried everything not to score there, shocking backline skills. Warburton does well to exploit the little halfback defence, though

[Toddy]

Was just about to ask when Warburton was back from injury.

13 - 22 Lions

I used to feel content knowing he was number 3 five eighth as a sign of our depth ,

Not so much he is about to be number 2

[Tim]

They've looked better since AWJ replaced Lawes.

[Frye]

You can both those tries down to errors from Sopoaga.

Cruden is leaving but I don't think he wants to be backup first five.
