Why do these useless Southern Hemisphere refs always try and rort the British teams down here?

Lol what a f**king joke of a penalty. Still couldn't bring the Wallabies home.

Robbie deans can suck it.
He went with O'Connor and Beale over Cooper.
Those 4 missed penalties quade would have kicked.

Wow, three observations from that.

First, I'm pretty sure the Bulldogs just lost Folau.

Second, Kurtley Beale. The poor bastard. He will never live those two kicks down for the rest of his career.

Finally, this game proved that as long as Union continues to put so much importance on kicks over tries, it will continue to be a shit sport.

What a great test match!!

I thought the kiwi ref was f**king terrible!!

He basically allowed the wallabies shut scrum to compete.

I hope they get rid of him for the rest of the series .

Folau was good... but I don't think he would be as good against us. We would put him under more positional pressure than the lions did.

George North was outrageous!!

O'Connor‘s were easier than Beales kicks and he missed 2.
He was bad and should be dropped.

Lions gameplan was sussed by Deans, took some North magic and individual excellence (Sexton's bombs and chips for example) to win it.

Lydiette was such a stupid call on the bench. He is an animal tackler and a good player, when he starts...but off the bench he just has no impact. The Lions needed the mongrel of Séan O'Brien out there.

Hopefully Bowe will be fit next week, he is nearly as dangerous as North is out there and that back 3 will be lethal. Get Roberts or hopefully Tualaigi fit as well, much stronger bench.

Ref was atrocious.

Hopefully you are right about first point (& his player agents don't stuff up) because he could really develop into a devastating union player.

Point 2: agree this will haunt him forever and wasn't what was needed from where he is at at the moment. But from the Wallabies point of view the words of super-coach Wayne B hold true "if you hang your hopes on winning games in the last few minutes you are going to have a pretty disappointing career."

Point 3: I disagree, while it would be better if the 3 points wasn't needed it is the best offset to the BS illegal play from teams in front.

Meh.... We will hammer them in 4 years time... Just like the last time they came here.

Sir Clive and the so called greatest lions team to ever grace our shores... :lol:

They lost the test series 3-0 and even lost to the NZ Maori.

Please do, their reaction to the win on Saturday was nothing short of cringeworthy. The best of 4 teams beating one... some achievement.
