    Great kick to the corner, Farrel has settled into the game nicely.

    Great kick by Farrell. He is growing into the game after a shaky start

    Not one pundit has Murray starting ahead of Phillips. It really is no contest. The guy is leaps and bounds ahead of Murray.

    Well Sky have highlighted how well Phillips is playing, Murray wouldn't have scored either of those tries and don't try to claim he would because he wouldn't he's not strong or quick enough. Phillips against England in the last game of the 6N was the best performance by a scrum half in the whole competition and Phillips has proven over a long period of time what he can do and shown it on a lions tour before. Murray has played half a season if even that of good rugby.
    Phillips will start end of, and youngs will bench

    What a poor match. No atmosphere. Stop and start. No pattern. Phillips is hugely flattered make no mistake. He is facing no real opposition. Farrell showing no real challenge to Johnny Sexton.

    That sums up Farrells game, excluding his kicking.

    Farrell was a couple of yards out. Could he not have gone himself?

    How ? He couldn't pass back on the inside because of the covering defender and Casey was denying him from going by himself.

    They're not allow to criticise the Lions - it's laughable watching them dance around with their words!

    Phillips is a constant threat with ball in hand. But that should not disguise how bad his passing and distribution has been tonight

    This is getting annoying, people are just using every excuse to have a go at Farrell.

    He just had to fall over the line. But not a whisper from the English commentators ... typical.
