grt start for Lions to turn it over at the break down and gain territory
— britwatchsports (@britwatchsports) June 29, 2013
Penalty against Aussies for holding on – Leigh 'Automatic' Halfpenny -27 out of 29 on tour so far…. it's a long way away and hits the bar!
— britwatchsports (@britwatchsports) June 29, 2013
Aussies holding on again, Sexton kicks for touch and drives the Lions into Aussie territory
— britwatchsports (@britwatchsports) June 29, 2013
Line out – driving maul – penalty – Warburton chooses to put it in the corner rather than take 3 points!
— britwatchsports (@britwatchsports) June 29, 2013
Another Penalty! Ref already warning the Aussies of a yellow card advantage played but come to nothing. Halfpenny makes it 3-0
— britwatchsports (@britwatchsports) June 29, 2013
couple of scrums collapsed by Lions leads to penalty kick for Aus – 3-3
— britwatchsports (@britwatchsports) June 29, 2013
After a very bright start, the Lions are making more errors and the Aussies are starting to boss. Another scrum penalty against the Lions
— britwatchsports (@britwatchsports) June 29, 2013
Leali'ifano converts for second time – 6-3 to Aussies
— britwatchsports (@britwatchsports) June 29, 2013
Vunipola having a tough time; being targeted by the Wallabies, warned by ref, and now a handling error. But Lions respond to win a scrum pen
— britwatchsports (@britwatchsports) June 29, 2013
Aussies 6-6 Lions as Halfpenny converts penalty
— britwatchsports (@britwatchsports) June 29, 2013
Obstruction by Aussies, grt decision by Ref (tho he missed on earlier by Tommy Bowe) Sexton kicks to great position but Lions lose lineout
— britwatchsports (@britwatchsports) June 29, 2013
grt response from Lions pack who, after a shaky few minutes, win another scrum penalty. Halfpenny to make it 3 from 4? yes! 9 – 6 Lions
— britwatchsports (@britwatchsports) June 29, 2013
Vunipola in the spotlight again as Ashley-Cooper feels ashoulder to the face. On purpose? the crowd think so on reply but no action from ref
— britwatchsports (@britwatchsports) June 29, 2013
Aussies soon do get a pen though for offside and Leali'ifano squeaks it inside the post 9-9
— britwatchsports (@britwatchsports) June 29, 2013
Lions best attacking play for a while as North recovers a Halfpenny kick & recycles it – Aussies commit a penalty to stop the wave of attack
— britwatchsports (@britwatchsports) June 29, 2013
Of course Halfpenny converts for a Lions 12-9 lead at the half
— britwatchsports (@britwatchsports) June 29, 2013
Sexton gets us underway again
— britwatchsports (@britwatchsports) June 29, 2013
Hibbard joins Lions front row in place of Tom Youngs
— britwatchsports (@britwatchsports) June 29, 2013
Dan Cole on for Jones.defensive intensity for Lions has been brilliant but will need to remain that high of go higher if they are to survive
— britwatchsports (@britwatchsports) June 29, 2013
George North just got tackled, picked up Folau, carried him a few metres and dumped him back down… amazing… the crowd goes barmy
— britwatchsports (@britwatchsports) June 29, 2013
But has North hurt himself or acted illegally? Video ref clears him… physio still looking
— britwatchsports (@britwatchsports) June 29, 2013
what a few minutes; North stays on, Lions destroy Wallabie scrum, penalty… Halfpenny lines up his kick…what a kick! drops just over 15-9
— britwatchsports (@britwatchsports) June 29, 2013
Swing Low Sweet Chariot echoing around the Etihad Stadium in Melbourne
— britwatchsports (@britwatchsports) June 29, 2013
Captain Warburton carried off. Croft on
— britwatchsports (@britwatchsports) June 29, 2013
A fantastic break from Folau, has Australia on the try line. knock on though gives Aus the penalty – but they choose scrum! 8 mins left
— britwatchsports (@britwatchsports) June 29, 2013
Lions eventually clear out of bounds after a knock on but dont get much distance 7 mins, 6 pts
— britwatchsports (@britwatchsports) June 29, 2013
O'Driscoll now makes a hero tackle in an attempt to turn the ball over
— britwatchsports (@britwatchsports) June 29, 2013
Wallabies 5 metres short….
— britwatchsports (@britwatchsports) June 29, 2013
Score!!! after a series of pick and drives, Ashely-Cooper finds a gap and goes over… conversion to come
— britwatchsports (@britwatchsports) June 29, 2013
Christian Leali'ifano lines up the conversion…. what pressure…straight thru! Aussies lead 16-15
— britwatchsports (@britwatchsports) June 29, 2013
mistake from Australia as a kick is taken back in!! Lions are within drop goal range…. 2 mins left
— britwatchsports (@britwatchsports) June 29, 2013
but the Lions line out yields an Australian penalty – is that the last chance?
— britwatchsports (@britwatchsports) June 29, 2013
we're over 80minutes but Lions have the ball but in their own half – they need to drive into range
— britwatchsports (@britwatchsports) June 29, 2013
Penalty to Lions!! just inside their own half! what a call. Is it within range?? The adrenaline must be going crazy in his body….
— britwatchsports (@britwatchsports) June 29, 2013
The fans cannot watch, de ja vu of last week in reverse….
— britwatchsports (@britwatchsports) June 29, 2013
Halfpenny is kicking for Lions legend….
— britwatchsports (@britwatchsports) June 29, 2013
…….one kick to take it all.. it's not got the distance..it's all over
— britwatchsports (@britwatchsports) June 29, 2013
Australia win 16-15. what a match. The Wallabies deserved the win. This series deserves a third and deciding test
