Force v British Lions

MN5

A must-win game for the British and Irish and South African and Kiwi and Aussie and Tongan and Samoan Lions. If they lose their first two games, then their tour will be in utter chaos when it's hardly just begun. Big pressure on them.

Tried watching the UK coverage on Stan but quickly turned it off - the audio is hopelessly out of sync.

Here's hoping we have a game without cards.

Aussies commentators saying this is the pinnacle of Rugby Union…. ummm pretty sure that’s the World Cup.

Forward pass not called

antipodean

96 seconds and Lions are in. Force giving far too much ground in passive tackling.

Canes4life

Fantastic start to this game. Force hit back.

Force strike back after securing the restart.

It's raining tries in Perth.

And it's ended up with the Force on the BIL line.

antipodean

Irish Lions infringing like mad.

No Quarter

Looked like he fucked up the kick there, bit lucky

Canes4life

Big Prinsep on to fuck shit up.

No Quarter

2x penalties on their own line, and numerous other infringements that could be called. Pretty cynical stuff.

MajorRage

Cracking start. Really quick and Force playing as they shoukd against a new combo team. Ball in hand expecting gaps to appear.

Working a treat. Great to watch.

Donsteppa

Force too silly to take the easy 3 points on offer against an infringing Lions.

sparky

The Lions are struggling with the pace the Force play the game at.

MajorRage

@Donsteppa I thought the same.

But I guess they have a game plan where 3s don’t work. Must be expecting to concede lot, so want to score a lot

Donsteppa

For all their early play, also a few little moments as a reminder of why the Force were off the pace in Super Rugby.

Bones

That was finished excellently.
