Finnegan Posted 24 June 2017 Posted 24 June 2017 Guessing I'm the only idiot up this early. Italy are a point behind Australia with six minutes to play and Australia are down to 14 men. Australia do have the ball in the Italian 22 but still. If the Italians steal something here it'd be unbelievable.
Nick Posted 24 June 2017 Posted 24 June 2017 Come on then the Lions - I've watched every game so far and I still am unsure how this is going to go! Any predictions?

If the Italians steal something here it'd be unbelievable. Nope I've been watching it. Some crazy defensive work by the Italians absolute rubbish - still can't work out how they dragged themselves back into it... What struck me though is the Aussies not taking the points to seal the game and having enough faith in the maul and their attacking play to go for the line - wish England played like that ? And Nd I wasn't expecting the final length of the pitch try either but something had to give as the Aussies were stuffing up chance after chance second half..
Finnegan Posted 24 June 2017 Posted 24 June 2017 As soon as Italy got a man binned it was over to be fair. Or, actually, as soon as they coughed up a penalty when they got in to the Australian half. Good effort though. I can sympathise, it's usually Wales doing that. Taking a southern hemisphere side to 70 minutes then collapsing. Still, shocking from Australia though. Whitewashed by England, beaten by Scotland, pushed close by Italy all at home in the last twelve months.

Nick Posted 24 June 2017 Posted 24 June 2017 I can genuinely see both results and am struggling to predict a score with any confidence!
Finnegan Posted 24 June 2017 Posted 24 June 2017 2 minutes ago, Swan Lesta said: So who's gonna win this and by how many? I can't see a Lions win, personally. What I can see is, if our forwards have an absolutely monster game, a much closer match than I previously believed. The plan is going to be what it's been all tour, slow the game down, stay disciplined, stay solid, win the set piece, limit the offload, do the basics. If we're good at that it could be close. But we've not yet played anything like this all blacks side when it comes to creating chances so it's not only the biggest test yet, that's obvious, but it's an enormously bigger test.
Nick Posted 24 June 2017 Posted 24 June 2017 Okay then so I'll go for a Lions win though it won't be a landslide if it happens! I'll call it this way because I do like the starting side. Gonna be a war though and our defence needs to be bloody immense. And who's that Welsh SS pitchside geezer? He's quality

Nick Posted 24 June 2017 Posted 24 June 2017 After the Haka the Lions should all turn their backs on them and pull a synchronised moonie at them all.

Finnegan Posted 24 June 2017 Posted 24 June 2017 UNBELIEVABLE JEFF. SANJAY, TAKE A BOW! Fuuuuck that's great from everyone. How is O'Brien there!? Very good composure from Daly, great running from Davies. But Liam fking Williams.
