    BOD should have finished that first time around, didn't back himself for the corner. Awful match, hope Healy's alright but looked bad

    As I said before the game, a one point win and a clean bill of health would be far more preferable to a 50 point win. To lose one of the almost guaranteed test players in the first game on Australian soil is a massive blow. Will be a replacement called out, I assume but still a huge loss. Vunipola now to be in the test 23.

    Especially to lose him to such a nothing game.

    The amount of injuries picked up on Lions tours. It really looks like Healys tour is over! Horrible to see a player wheeled off the pitch.

    It's gutting. But spare a thought for the Aussies, they have been fairly devastated too.

    Roberts & BOD nailed down for the first test. Tualagi runs sideways, or else into things. No subtlety whatsoever.

    Leigh Halfpenny has immaculate positional sense, world class FB that guy.

    Time for Corbiseiro. He could end up in the test team. Healy would have been weak enough in scrum. Sad for him though.

    SOB has been very impressive, Bowe, Heaslip and Sexton good.

    Murray and Best not great

    Heaslip and SOB by far the best players on the field

    Bowe, North going well too

    Locks have been really quiet

    Manu T has impressed me too, seems much more team orientated than he does for England/Leicster

    I feel sorry for Healy but biting is unacceptable.

    No, he would not have been. Healy is a very good scrummager

    He took the more sensible option in my opinion, there was a lot of bodies between him and the corner

    Healy is an OK scrummager has poor body position but his strength hides his technical deficiencies. However, hi s play in the loose is up there with the best so will be a big loss to that aspect of play

    If he did I'd agree with you. No place for it.

    If not, tough on him to be injured so soon,


    ESPN Aussie interview the Scum Half for WF, he Said he did get bitten

    O'brown has always been able to offload.that's slightly unfair on him!

    Hope Healy hasn't torn ligaments.

    Rory Best is showing that his non selection in the initial squad was justified. His throwing is just way too inconsistent. He seems to completely overthrow the ball when his target isn't even been targeted in the lineout. Down to Hibbard and Youngs now. Wallabies will target it in a big way.
