There was nothing he could do but watch the wee shitebag attempt by Smith as the last man. Half dipped the shoulder.

Apart from the scrum, everything else from the Lions has been utterly dire. Freeman has been poor, too many dropped passes or bad pass selections LCD will be nowhere near the test shirt, Smith is NOT a 15, 10 or not at all.

Hmmm, given how crap others have been sounds like you’ve been waiting to say that since way before the game even started.

Watching in Czech Republic on Nova Sports, surprisingly good coverage, Czech commentary is weird though.

Lions have no control from half backs, Mitchell and Smith very poor.

I don’t know, Argentina are missing a lot of players and the Aussies have spent a lot of time together

Got no issues with Mitchell, his service has been rapid although passes a bit low, its what going on outside him is where the problem sits. Lion back row, are they even playing?

Are the Czech commentators not also going on about how amazing Curry has been in that half?

They stood out for me, darts have being poor and VDM left M Smith out to dry in the 22 and coughed up the ball for the last try.

Can see why teams kick so much. Huge advantage being able to tap it back rather than a defender trying to catch it.

He's always struck me as a very good player to bring on to rampage when your steady Eddie hooker has put the set piece in the right place.

Modern rugby, old fella. None of this 45 degree raked backline these days.

When he cut inside there was 7-8m of space. Plenty for an international wing to make a decision to go out or in.
