C'mon u Aussies !
C'mon u Aussies !
Beirne wins a penalty at the breakdown. Aussies a bit lazy to clean out there. 3-0
So far it's touchy feely kicky kicky.
Aussie pass goes nowhere. Errors they can't afford.
Lions in through Tuipulotu and it didn't look too tough. Aussie could be in for a long game. 10-0
Lowe hands off Jorgenson and Jones scores. Aussies look woefully outgunned here. Try might be cancelled. Yeah, he got up after tackled so no try.
Pretty ordinary game so far.
Genge is a pretty decent carrier. Now some handbags. No head rubs, chaps.
Lynagh with some poor options at 10 not helping the Aussie cause and now Jorgenson beats Keenan in the air and sprints away to score. 10-5. You feel the Lions have given away their dominance here since Jones's disallowed try and Aussie is creeping back.
McCarthy gets the wide kick from Russell but knocks it in goal.
Lowe blowing a try by going on his own with men on his outside.
Curry finally over after a long goal line assault from the Lions. 17-5
17-5 halftime. Not a great game. Aussie really suffering from a bog average flyhalf that brings nothing to their game. Physically it's pretty even and Aus has given as good they got at the breakdowns. You don't get the feeling they'll be able to challenge the Lions for a win though.
I think it is boring as well. The Lions abcklne seems ordinary with no real line breaks while the Lions have the upper hand up front. A hell of a lot of kicking on te Lions side in particular, ,
I have made it back for the second half...
They were showing the Ozzie dressing room when I switched on.
...didn't look happy.
Oh my word...that's quite a way to start a half
Nice work from the Lions get Sheehan into the corner. 24-5
Grrr...19 point deficit.
Yeah Aus has been hanging in there but not much more. Apart from the snatch from the air by Jorgenson they haven't looked like creating anything.
Such a pity a BIL test should be boring.
The Boks should smash these Ozzies
Aussie making progress when they attack the spaces between the Lions defenders. More of that with the offload game and they might do something here, but the bashing straight into defenders is a battle they're not winning.
Ozzies going to the corner. They need a try now...they get over but are held up. Can we look at that again?
Aus almost there, just held up over the line. They have a penalty.
It looked to me like he scored there.
Ozzies need to score...Lions on a warning now.
Aus score. Suuiiiaaalllii looks like. No idea how that was awarded though, he's practically crawling over.
Ozzies get a try from the scrum.
That's a try, why are they looking at it?
It's that Italian jerk linesman.
Oh no!
Lame, no try.
Both arms in the tackle by Earl? Ref is crazy. Try cancelled.
I will screenshot that tackle from the highlights and show what Ben O Tief's "both arms in a tackle" looks like.
Is that guy's name really Harry Potter!!???
Poor bastard
Man, one bad last bounce for Aus otherwise the Boy Wizard was in.
Aus finally burrows over. 24-12
Ozzie get reward for sustained pressure.
That'll boost them!
Lions penalty will put the game beyond doubt. 27-12
Aus has dominated possession in the second half but not much to show for it.
Why is McDermott not starting for Aus? He's made a huge difference.
And now he scores.
27-19
Crazy to think that without that penalty a few minutes ago Aus would still have been in with a shot to win here now.
Not much time in it but Ozzie wasn't bad in the second half.
BIL job done!
Easy win in the end
Final score 27-19. Aus won the second half 14-10. Pretty dull game, neither side firing too many shots.
At least it did not turn into an embarrassment for Australia.
If you say so.
Hi you guys. Which streaming site is best for Bok game? Hey Pakie the last one you gave me something SX Was working, what is it again ?
So here's the Earl tackle that they checked for foul play at the disallowed Suiilllaililli try. The one that O'Tief said "he used both arms" so it's all good. Earl is using both arms to tackle Joseph here, folks. According to ref and concurring TMO.

livetv.sx, they've been down or inaccessible mostly lately MP. Try https://rugbystreams.me/rugby-union-streams, they've got tons of popups and shit so it's a bit of a pain but that's the only other one I know of.
Brave browser gets rid of all the popups and ads.
I got brave browser, thanks Pakie and Draad….. Go Bokke
Perhaps the big reason why this game didn't do much to get the senses tingling is because the result wasn't really in doubt. You never got the feeling there's a contest that could go either way. Even though Aus clawed back in the second half as the Lions lost their way, the result felt like a given throughout. Why players like McDermott is on the bench only the staff will know - kinda pointless to lose a match for 60 minutes beyond hope and then send your best players on. Even Donaldson looked far better than Tom Lynagh, who was simply out of his depth and has journeyman written all over him. You're not going to compete with the Lions while picking the likes of Gordon and Lynagh as your frontline pivots.
