Lucky try

@ Peter Toohey , cool your jets there pal , the score board disagrees with your post

Tapuai pinged for not releasing after making a good tackle, giving Farrell the chance to add to the Lions lead. Farrell makes no mistakes, slotting the penalty as the half time hooter sounds. Lions lead 16-7 at the end of an absorbing first half of rugby.

Paul, and your leaving O Driscoll out there as well?

Wow first close game

North at centre, should be interesting

Ball squirts out of the scrum and Frisby dives on it, Reds clear their lines, a real let off for the Reds who survive without conceding.

2 succesive big scrums from the Lions, looking likely to drive over from here.

Good stuff

And of course sexton and halfpenny
