Aus taking too long to put Freeman down and those meters count as Curry gets over in the corner.

Weak error by Aus now costs them a lineout 5m out. They'll need to tighten it up.

Ikitau with big meters on the carry. 23-17 half time, pity Aus just lost their grip on the game in the last 10 minutes.

Plenty of errors from both sides to start the second half.


Ozzie looking stronger though, and pressing the Lions now while on a penalty advantage

Aki gifts Aus a kickable penalty, advantage. McDermott breaking some tackles, through Gibson-Park and Russell. Long advantage called back now as Aus gets static.

Damn, Aus making space and Suaalii should have passed but didn't see the defender coming up behind him. Probably a try lost.

Aus forwards have been strong in defense but the backs not so much, allowing players to make far too many meters in the tackle. And as I type Lowe shrugs off a weak effort from Ikitau to put Beirne away. Disappointing.

Gordon has been good tonight after my pregame doubts about him. Lynagh remains a catch-and-pass and nothing more, defense not worried about him at all and it's putting the outside backs under pressure.

They need a 10 that can free them up.
