Magic stuff from North, collecting the ball in his own 22 and producing a powerful run to bring play all the way to the Reds 22 before putting Warbuton away. Warburton goes over the line with three Reds on his back, one of them Quade Cooper, who manage to hold him up. 37 minutes gone, scrum from the Lions to come.
Second string lions. In that I include warburton. Missing Philips, Roberts, heaslip, O'Brien. Breakdown and midfield suffering as a result.
It's all happening out here now. Schatz picks from a scrum on his own line, Youngs rips the ball from him and the ball spills over the line. Youngs dives on it for the score, and the T.M.O deems there was no clear knock on, try awarded. Bowe has gone to centre, North has gone on to the wing after coming on for Tuilagi.
Why did tuilagi go off??
Now its the turn of the Lions to attack, North showing pace to break free before flipping the ball inside to Farrell who canters towards the line. However the impressive Morahan gets back to knock the ball from Farrell's hands as he goes over. 33 minutes gone, scores remain unchanged.
Is bowe playing centre ?
The Reds just will not let the pace drop here, Cooper again taking a quick tap too push the tempo. Eventually a stretched Lions concede a penalty, Lydiate caught off side, but Cooper cant convert.
Ben Youngs to indecisive. Letting others do the rough stuff!
Your precious lions arent as good as you think. They havent won since 1989. Reds are the second best Aus team and are missing 7 players to the wallabies and are ouplaying the lions
Lions are being run ragged!
