    Lions by 1-10
    Not sure why Farrell is getting so much stick on here, I do think Sexton is the better player, but Farrell has controlled the game reasonably well, albeit against mediocre opposition (conditions may not help, but the Barbarians' stand out players have been poor I feel). In addition, as regards the Brits incident, would like to see how people on here would react to taking a (essentially unprovoked) punch in the face. Farrell's reaction was fairly controlled in my opinion.

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

    I think he's managed distribution extremely well tonight, really shown his experience

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

    Yep its embarrassing. People just looking after the national interest instead of getting behind the collective Lions effort.

    Everybody's distribution has been awful.

    Come on Farrell

    Edit; before anyone has a go, I'm talking about the Pass. His general play IMO has been fine

    Brilliant try. Very worried about an injury to Sexton now tbh.

    Lovely BaaBaas try, all down to Farrell losing the ball. Smokin' Joe rolled back the years there

    He passes way too low for my liking. All of his passes are going low. Compare that to Sexton who passes across his chest. Farrell passes across his hips.

    Wish SKY would shut up about the conditions, haven't seen the ba ba's throwing terrible passes like the Lions.

    I think most people have acknowledged his kicking game is good today, but even Sky are showing highlight reels of his errors elsewhere.

    Stevens and Healy looked very strong in the last scrum

    I was very impressed with Vunipola tbh. Haven't seen much of him before tonight but he looks a great player

    What's happening? My stream is perfect but couldn't get the channel list to open on Internet Explorer earlier so had to switch to Chrome.

    continuously pausing and buffering so it is all stop start.
    Do you think up grade of connection speed would fix? ??

    This is rediculos. At the end of the day Farrell's been fairly poor and anyone who says so is shouted down by the pc brigade saying give him a chance
