First topic message reminder :

Thought i'd create this thread as there wasn't one already.

My prediction: One of two things will happen, Australia will hammer us or we'll win on penalties.

Faletau has been excellent, fully justifying Gatlands call to drop Heaslip.

Just as well the Lions have scrum dominance as that was aimless and predictable from the Lions. That's all they have to do though with a lead like this. But with a man down they should be going in for the killer blow.

I've been so overexcited, I've been posting on the wrong thread...

16 points sounds comfortable but I'm nervous about what would happen to momentum in the match if the Wallabies get a try before we can score again.

scrum to oz, 5 meters from the lions line.

This is a big scrum, last play of the half They'll want to get some points from this.

If the Lions can hold out, the psychological boost will be incredible. Equally, if Australia score, it'll give them belief into the second half.

His basics have been atrocious in my opinion. Box kicking everything terribly, caught at the base, taking too much time at the base, dawdling when the ref had called it a maul. I could go on. He's been abject.

That's made a game of it and the calls of Game Over seem premature. Kepu has shored up the scrum and Australia won't be turning down kicks for goal now.

Will the lions go into their defensive shells or will they take the game to the Wallabies. They looked tired on defence then.

Fascinating half awaits us.
