Davies was in no man's land in defence.

DDC1990

JD totally out of position there marking air leading the the break.

Fixed.

Decent enough from the Lions so far. This is the test halfback pairing imo, they make a big difference to the team. Tight 5 coming under a bit of pressure a the moment so need to get settled back into the game.

Williams was pulled back twice there off the ball.

The Rape of Lucretia

POM playing very well though. SOB pretty good also.

DDC1990

Not a good 5 mins for JD. Poor defence, poor handling (off an admitedly speedy pass) and a bang in the head.

laugh

Some steam coming off that scrum, 4 degrees there at the moment.

Tigerandahalf

Crusadere are really sloppy. Any time they lift the tempo though the Lions look in trouble.

laugh

Johnny on.

DDC1990

Johnny Sexton on for JD HIA. Farrell to 12 T'eo to 13.

Ahhhh crap, JD off for Sexton.. That doesn't really help things at all.

Jonny getting enough gametime anyways

Kanrith

The ref doesn't seem to like advantage.

Why did they take so long to decide this on the sideline ?

Bazzo

Barnes was banging on about Hogg attempting a long ranger there. Is Hogg even on the pitch?

irishbucsfan

Farrell at 13.

Sexton and Farrell both starting isn't going to happen

Might not have been immediately obvious, or his cadence afterwards looked shaky or they did a sideline review of the original hit and decided he needed a closer look.

AWJ will be in the bin for that.

For all the good he's done that was from a ****e Murray pass, but where on earth was the first receiver?

Erik Shin

Was that a slip or a horrific pass from Murray ?

Jesus Seanie is fast.

irishman86

Jayus SOB did brilliant there

Gbear

Murray has been good but that's his 2nd awful pass leading to a counter-attack.

Diabhal Beag

SOB's hamstrings didn't spontaneously combust there. Good!

AWJ's brainless offload instead of lying on it really didn't help.

dregin

/me prays for Seanie's hamstring.

Serious wheels there.

SOB has always been fast, just rarely get to see it

The quickest of you are ahead of my stream. So I was watching him out of curiosity after he was hit and new he was coming off. He looked fine, and stayed on the pitch. Then, a minute later, he is called off for the HIA without further examination. So, what were they judging (there was no staggering, slowness, etc noticeable in him after he stayed on), or discussing. If it was made on the pitch, surely he should have been taken off straight away.
Just wondering what the process is here. Surely it wasnt to consider whether they could afford to go for a HIA with Watson already on.

Murray's passing is horrendous.

mark_jmc

Murray has had a few poor passes

His GPS tracker could have showed an anomaly in his running, or that the hit was over a certain threshold of force that could cause a concussion?

BBDBB

Cant give that

DDC1990

Great tackle from Johnny on the line.

laugh

I thought you could see it scored on the left of the second shot.

The shot was very wide though.

Scrum penalties are a complete lottery

dregin

Holy. ****ing. ****. AWJ nearly cracked a smile there! RESTRAIN YOURSELF, MAN. IT'S ONL THE FIRST HALF!

irishman86

Its always funny when it happens to the other team in the red zone :pac:

DDC1990

Justin Marshall acting like he has a clue about scrums.

BBDBB

Off the hook

Ooooh surviving that is pretty crucial. Half time at this score would be absolutely fine.

Holy Diver

What channel is this on?

Diabhal Beag

That's at least twice that Watson has made a criminal amount of extra metres after soft as **** tacking on him.

Sexton popping up everywhere. Serious work rate.

All the little breaks going for the Lions now.
