Miles offside from that Genia kick . Pollock missed it though
at this rate Aus wins comfortably, Lions backs havent got much
aussie coach must have reminded the players what those huge H shaped things are for at half time
Phillips is taking ages to decide , what he doing . Get him off
Parling's been superb so far.
bring Ritchie on for O'Brien ..... he's been worse

I've never seen anything as slow as Phillips in my life. Thing is he could still win this with one break.
at least the scrum is still working.
corbisiero must be man of the match so far

If the Lions win this today it was won in the scrum. Is this what AWNION has come down to nowadays?
another scrum pen for the Lions

I said pre-tour that Sexton, Halfpenny and Jones are far and away the most important players for the Lions. 2 are performing, 1 has been a mess.
Parling has been very good , just a case of fresh legs imo
genia has been fu cking superb all 3 tests as has halfpenny
Genia has to be the main contender for a "best player in the world" competition.
jones off... ok lets see what happens to the scrum
tbh i'm more worried when corbisiero goes off

Will be very harsh if this is turned down. Hundreds of tries have a last pass like that.
Corbisiero man of the match, Halfpenny man of the series in my opinion.
lol at the commentator
'how many halfpennies are there'?
'how many halfpennies are there'?
Bloody hell touch judge, it's still got to be straight even if it only goes 5 yards.
Thought there were about 4 passes in that move that were forward.
Def odd but I hate the reaction from sexton, be a man and think of the team
If O'Driscoll played the Lions would be 30pt up by now.
Half of Ireland seething.....
Half of Ireland seething.....
Best player ever to wear the lions 15 jersey. absolute class.
From 16-19, given the way the past two tests have gone, this is some effort.
amazing effort after the way Australia got back into it.
Shane Warne, Kylie Minogue, David Campese, Skippy the Kangaroo
YOUR BOYS TOOK ONE HELL OF A BEATING

We will now be told once again how poor this Aussie team is
ok heres a question
why do teams seem to improve so much when warburton gets injured?

We have to put up with a serious amount of bullshit about how things were better in the old days, so it's worth repeating this:
"This is the biggest margin of victory by any Lions team in a test (against NZ, SA or Australia) since 1966"
1966 was a 31-0 victory. The Lions have never before scored 41pts in a test (against NZ, SA or Australia).

much respect to gatland.

makes you wonder why they took 200minutes before they played an expansive game!..after all thats whats their biggest strength!
Well that rather pleasingly surprised me. Absolutely fantastic front 8. And the girls weren't bad either. Great stuff............
Well said RM. That was a classic Lions' performance today. We just never take teams apart like that. Corbisiero et al can be mightily proud tonight and Gatland can have the freedom of the lands -this side of the Irish sea of course
i'm serious though. why do teams seem to improve so much when warburton gets injured? 
Warburton was immense last week, Missed hi big time in last 20 mins
Lot of glum faces in Ireland, wondering how much the Lions would have won by if BOD had payed.
wheres john terry?cant believe he hasnt shown up for the celebrations in his kit!
All that's missing is little Jonny Howard handing over the trophy with a face like he's licking pish of a nettle.
Don't think that award for Halfpenny was ever in doubt.
Honorable mentions for North and Corbisiero I think, both making huge impacts in the time they were given.

Oh and let's not forget the ref. Thought he had an immense game.
