    North took the right option carrying out wide there, he'd one man outside him and the defence was drifting across, he spotted a gap and almost got through it, if the offload had've stuck it would most likely have resulted in a try.

    Cant understand the commentators praise for Cooper, he's been brutal IMO.

    Well it's the same commentators saying that is going to be the lions starting pack for the first test!!!

    I may be biased but I've been very unimpressed.

    Heaslip's the man! You can quote me on this. Just needs a big game v the Tahs to nail it home.

    Ah you know what I mean. I think North should start but I just think that no welsh backline player can pass the ball and its a major weakness when playing with others who arent 6'4 and 18 stone

    As I said earlier he's on the wing, passing is hardly crucial. I'd say based on his game a good offload is more important than throwing spin passes. I'd be more worried that Davies and Roberts can't pass.

    You know there's such a thing as holding on to the ball when the pass is not the good option.

    Of course, but he does this over and over, last game had a prime example when there was a certain try if he passed but he didn't, went into contact and the chance was gone.

    Yes very underwhelmed to say the least. Control at the back of the scrum lacking.

    I think Farrell has been good today. Has made some mistakes, but he's also made some great breaks and a few big hits. Ben Youngs has been very good, but I think he's getting a bit tired by now.

    Not enough Lions players have put their hands up. Warburton as a captain is wrong and Toby Faletau has not done enough.

    Hardly a certain try in their own half with a drifting defence and a full back.

    Not a hope barring injury to Sexton. Simply isn't int he same league

    Farrell is going well but he still can't control a game like Sexton

    Oh I agree 100% that Sexton should start but you never know when your old lad is helping to pick the team.

    Been quite impressed with Stevens today.

    Better than I thought he was.

    Just feel that Sexton needs to be given the responsibility as he has barely kicked so far on tour.

    Exactly. He needs to be given Goal Kicking duties at some point, after his poor showing in Hong Kong. No point having him kicking cold in the Tests, if he is called upon.

    We're obviously not talking about the same game or chance.

    Call me naive but I really don't believe Farrell Snr. is going to influence selection in that manner. It would undermine the entire tour imo. The test side may be Welsh slanted but Gatland will pick on what he believes is merit.

    Game on! Lions looking very, very tired in last 10 minutes. Likes of Lydiate don't appear to be on the pitch any longer. Pack needs major changes.

    Hes been the fulcrum of all the good reds play. Utter madness if he's not at least on the bench for the Wallabies

    Worst thing about Warburton's performance is that it's really not surprising, this is typical of the kind of display hes been putting in during 2012 and most of 2013

    Fulcrum of plenty silly play too. Don't think he has done enough at all.
