    Great last 10 from Cooper in fairness.

    Lot of the Irish guys are lucky to have avoided this game.

    But had Heaslip and SOB played it might have been a different game, this welsh welsh backrow wasn't up for it today, i doubt They would have but in as poor a shift

    Why was Cole and Jones on the bench though?

    When was last time Cole played LH?

    No other loosehead available. Healy and Jenkins are both gone.

    POC some play, game changer.

    These boards are rediculous sometimes, that was clearly coles turnover, POC dived on it. Lets not be so critical of foreign players all the time and so over complimentary of the Irish

    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.

    Thats a fair point but Farrell has been getting the majority of gametime so far.

    "Well, yeah, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man"

    No loose heads left. Jenkins and Healy are gone and Corbs only just arrived.

    Lions gameplan is so horribly one dimensional that I fear what a well drilled Wallabies side will do if they can temper the up and unders and strike runners

    Well Sexton was ruled our of starting the BaBas hame and they've had one each since - Farrell with the decidedly weaker looking team.

    On the replay I thought it was the other way around, they both have a similarly bald look with shades of ginge. Easy mistake

    Fingers crossed this game doesn't take it's toll.. Particularly on Bowe.

    What's the story with Kearney?

    Must say, been impressed with Farrell on defense. plenty of hits, and quite niggly at rucktime (in a good way)

    Tough for Sam, first game back so was always gonna be quiet but at the same time, Lions tours are not a place to feel your way back...

    MOTM? For me it's either Parling Lions or Robinson Reds was also good. Parling has dominated the lineout.

    Two likely starters (Healy and Bowe) now probably gone. Depressing.
