carmine Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 The Lions team of '71 might be in their sixties now but could hane easily beaten that pub team last tuesday. Roll on saturday to a waratahs b team. Such a shame Yes ... a great result for the Lions Team. Not much better then a training run and while I didn't get to see the actual game, I did catch the highlight reels and the Lions silky backline movements were great to watch. When the time of the First Test match comes, I'm sure the combined might of the Lions Team will go in (quite rightly) as favourites. I hope that the home crowd can lift the Wallabies to play at a higher level. . The Lions team of '71 might be in their sixties now but could hane easily beaten that pub team last tuesday.

David48 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Update from DownUnder .. 2013 Lions Tour: Winger George North in doubt for first Test against Wallabies British and Irish Lions winger George North is in doubt for the first Test against Australia as he struggles to overcome a hamstring injury. North left the field with the injury in Tuesday night's 64-0 win over the Combined Country XV in Newcastle, a match in which he scored two tries. The hulking Welsh winger has been rested for Saturday night's tour match against New South Wales in Sydney and there are growing concerns within the Lions camp that the injury will rule him out of the first Test in Brisbane on June 22. The Lions have already lost props Cian Healy (ankle) and Gethin Jenkins (calf) for the tour, while doubts remain as to whether winger Tommy Bowe (hand) will prove his fitness to play again. The tourists have already called four players into the squad, with props Alex Corbisiero and Ryan Grant, winger Simon Zebo and centre Billy Twelvetrees summoned to Australia. Fly half Owen Farrell, centres Brian O'Driscoll and Manu Tuilagi have also been troubled with niggling injuries. More here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mossfinn Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 15:Halfpenny 14:North 13:O'Driscoll 12:Roberts 11:Bowe Cuthbert 10:Sexton 9:Phillips I think the backs are going to be heavily influenced by Gatlands Welsh bias: 8: Faletao 7:Warburton 6:Lydiate 5:AW Jones 4:Gray 3:Vunipola 2:Hibbard 1:A Jones After a good display today from certain individuals, notably Davies, AWJ and O'Connell, I think people are playing themselves into the the first test. Above was my thoughts on Gatlands pick, but I am not sure he will now stick with a Welsh back row bias and with injuries taking a toll, this is my first test team on current performance. 15:Halfpenny ( Nailed ) 14:North Injury doubt so probably Maitland, who didn't impress today 13:O'Driscoll Almost certain 12:Roberts Injury doubt but Davies seriously impressed today 11:Bowe Cuthbert Cuthbert has not impressed, so I think a chance for Zebo, who was good in the first half and made a great try saving tackle in the dying moments 10:Sexton ( Nailed ) 9:Phillips ( Nailed ) I think the backs are going to be heavily influenced by Gatlands Welsh bias: ( My previous thoughts ) 8: Faletao I actually think he will go with Heaslip, the right choice 7:Warburton ( Nailed ) 6:Lydiate Not so sure now, Croft had a great game, but I think O'Brien is right in the mix, I can't call this one!! 5:AW Jones Not exactly nailed but I think did enough today to secure his place. 4:Gray Not only an injury doubt but O'Connell is in storming form, almost certain 3:Vunipola Sealed his spot today, but I won't say nailed 2:Hibbard I don't think Youngs did enough today 1:A Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The win in front of a crowd of 21,655 makes the Brumbies the first provincial side to beat the Lions since South Africa's Northern Transvaal in 1997, now known as the Bulls.

Wallabies announce Folau to debut during first test British and Irish rugby fans are roaring into Brisbane, bringing much-needed relief to the tourism industry. The British and Irish Lions say they will target debutante Israel Folau in the first test of the highly-anticipated series but the Wallabies are confident the former Origin and Kangaroos player will hold his own.

David48 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 . Brian O'Driscoll wary of 'clever' Wallabies Decorated centre Brian O'Driscoll rates Australia as one of the world's "smartest" teams and warned the Wallabies could pull out some surprises in this weekend's first Test against the British and Irish Lions. The Irish star, returning to the scene of his greatest Lions triumph in Brisbane, said the Wallabies have clever players able to exploit the tourists, who are chasing their first series victory in 16 years and have won only two of their last nine Tests. O'Driscoll, 34, the second-most capped player in rugby union history with 131 Test appearances - 125 for Ireland and six with the Lions - partners Welshman Jonathan Davies in the centres, but is respectful of what Robbie Deans's Wallabies may offer at Lang Park. Lot's of stuff from the ABC jurnos here with game analyses, interviews (Audio) with Brian O'Driscoll and Lions assistant coach Andy Farrell plus links to other stories. Just trying to bring you some media that you mightn't get in your country. The game is being played at Suncorp Stadium, widely regarded as one of the best grounds in Australia for Union, League or Soccer. The game is sold-out and has a capacity of 52,000 ... and I'm sure, many of those fans will be in a Lions Jersey. We had light rain here yesterday but won't affect the playing surface apart from the dew component. Come game time, should be 12 - 15C ... it's Winter here! .
