@joe i know everyone is entitled to their opinion and i think that voicing it is great but i just really dont like people bad mouthing players if you have logical reasons yes you can voive them but if you have a random point just saying it wont work or someone is useless then is annoys me and just to add to your comment i dont think i know it all actually but i do think i have a good knowledge of the game

Being it on a run a bit of breakfast the lads calling over...this game will be epic. Lions loosing at half time to pull it out of the bag in last 10 and win by 2 points halfpenny conversion from a fantastic team try scored in the corner by Bowe ;)

The scrum in this game is huge, vunipola has to pull out the best technical game of his life for 50 mins. With closed roof and dry ball Gatland is banking on their being minimum scrums in the game (on average 8). The line out will be interesting, youngs throwing will be penalised by Joubert if its not straight and may be a factor (he did have awesome game last week) but now Horwill has the burden of POC gone which will give him confidence. Lydiate is a tackle machine and there for the chook tackle to give options of turnover ball. Watch Warburton follow him in after a tackle and see if we can use this to good effect. I was impressed last week when Liam Gill came on and it'll be interesting this week when he's introduced, again i think the game lies on whos bench is better and pushes on in the last 20 mins. Backlines will take care of themselves, it'll be all about front foot ball. If australia improve on their missed tackle count then it'll be a tough day.

@james. Everyone is entitled to their opinion on here that's why they allow match chat. Looking at your previous comments in here you think you know it all and nobody else knows anything or are not entitled to voice that opinion if it disagrees with yours. Why don't you chill out a bit and less of the bad language.

I think lions to win 17-8

I think youngs and sexton won't really work out together as its their first time at the half backs together

Joe Murray Jun 6

Tour!

Joe Murray Jun 6

This is the first game of the your that he has started youngs and sexton. I hope that this won't cause problems with distribution as we need both on top of their game. He should have started Murray an sexton together for that reason as they know each other and how they play.

Very proud to see 5 "Ligers" and 4 "Lio-einster" players. All places well earned.

I think Craig Joubert will have a huge impact on this game. He tends to be a hard marker when it comes to refereeing the wallabies unfortunately.
