Force v British Lions

[Mr Fish]

Never thought I'd see a Lions scrum marched backwards by the Western Force of all teams.

[ACT Crusader]

Crunch. Lower ribs smashed

[Canes4life]

Matty P doesn’t look good.

[MajorRage]

Atmosphere seems flat. I guess it’s an afl stadium so crowd are half a mile from the action

[sparky]

Daly scores a third tries for the BILs.

[ACT Crusader]

Force on their heels not watching

[Landers92]

Great work by Finn Russell to set that try up. He has to be in the 10 jersey in the tests

[Canes4life]

Dylan Pietcsh is having a blinder of a game.

Pollock serves notice. He's the real deal IMHO.

The notice is made of yellow cardboard.

[ACT Crusader]

Not a bad move by the Force off the lineout but then knock on.

Then another attacking lineout goes amiss because of an over anxious hooker not being patient

[sparky]

21-7 to the BILs at the half-time break. Force failed to turn pressure into points.

[sparky]

The Lions look to have some decent players, but look they have just been introduced.

Yes

[sparky]

@Bones The Force need to play at pace and turn pressure into points. I'm not sure turning down 3s was wise.

Two-thirds of the team is Irish.

[sparky]

@antipodean Well sort of Irish.

But yeah their lack of cohesion is surprising.

[cgrant]

It seemed to me there was a forward pass in a phase which led to the first Lions try. Otherwise, I feel the Force are their own worst enemy.

[ACT Crusader]

What was White waiting for??? Your lock was ready.

Results in an 80 metre try

[MajorRage]

Van der Flier has been anonymous.

Cracking two man try

[antipodean]

That try is a direct result of Nic White balking the short pass to his lock.
