    Is Croft injured or something that he wasn't considered for today/

    Went off with knock to head last week. Possible minor concussion.

    This lineout could start to really become a problem.
    AWJ should have taken that one, but the confidence in the lineout is drifting quickly.
    AUS will target same and make life far more difficult.

    This scoreline is far more embarrasing for the force than the combined country

    Lions trying the old decoy in midfield and Cuthbert coming in off blind wing that Wales are so fond of.

    Why is BOD still on the pitch?

    All the subs have been used.

    I don't think it's a coincidence that Best's two throws to Evans were successful and his two throws to AWJ,who's had trouble holding onto the ball all night,weren't.

    I'd rather they play the last few mins with 14 and get BOD off.

    Aside from Halfpenny and Grant, none of the subs have done their selection prospects any favours.

    Poor Rory just isn't looking 100% in the loose either.

    Nope, looks lacking confidence completely.
    Not in test 22 for me at the moment anyway.

    Yup. Has really put his hand up today. Awful opposition but his lines, handling and linking have surpassed what Cuthbert has shown by a distance.

    BOD showing he is one of the key men for the tour.

    Carrying a knock or not, BOD is still the best on the park.

    Lovely little chip from Drico

    64-0 isn't bad. The important thing is, nobody got hurt.

    I wonder will the lineout issues allow Croft sneak into the 23.

    It's 15C and dry. That's a summer's day, pal.

    For me, I'd be happy with either of:

    6. Croft
    7. SOB
    20. Tipuric

    or

    6. SOB
    7. Tipuric
    20. Croft

    Plenty of scope for cover in either combo.

    Strange that they are playing 34 year old BOD for full 80 mins.
    Could that mean Gatland was planning not to start him in 1st Test?
    He has to start now.

    My take on centre combinations from the games played so far:

    BOD + Tuilagi = works
    BOD + Roberts = works
    BOD + Davies = works

    I'd be shocked if BOD dosen't start the tests.

    It was nice hear Greenwood and Barnes joining the love in during the game. Sounds like they stopped watching during the second half and just stuck on some BOD youtube moments!

    Man I need to catch this game later with all the comments about BOD. Was it a pure masterclass? Even conisidering the opposition?
