""Tizzano had come in from the side of the ruck illegally plus he had stooped too far so his head was below his hips which is not allowed" is not the defence you think it is"

"To be fair Biggars Welsh teams really struggled against Australia during his career. Took XX years to get a win. So his bar is high. But this is becoming the most overhyped 8-point win in rugby union history. They lost the 2nd half. Lions scrum was towelled and the back three couldnt catch a cold. There was a gulf in experience on the field in the Lions favour and it was low margin win"

"Player of the series so far has to be Tom Curry. Swayed the first Test with big plays produced more again in the second. Huge turnover tackle on Suaalii crucial. No other Lions player has been as influential"

"Cruel cruel game for the Wallabies. Had the position of dominance at 23-5 similar to Lions last week at 24-5. Skelton & Valetini going off changed the game. Sheehans illegal Superman dive for a try was baffling & Tizzano rightfully forced an illegal clean out on multiple fronts at the death. Tight thriller and the Low Margin Lions take a rather shameful & inglorious win Scraped past the post off the back of dubious play Very hollow"

"So the British & Irish Lions have one try through illegal jumping from Dan Sheehan and a couple of cheap ones burying over from five out. Finn Russell kicked to the corner about five metres in front of the mark on the last one. They are very fortunate to be just six points down at the half"

"As expected the British & Irish Butterfinger Brigade are struggling in the aerial battle. Freeman Keenan Lowe all guilty. Wallabies only try so far off a kick. They need more contestables. Lions have ascendency in the game but there are weaknesses"

"The Springboks under Erasmus have finally figured out how to actually play rugby instead of playing the equivalent of park the bus that they did over 2021-23 despite having one of the largest pools of talent in the world. It only took a Kiwi coach to make it happen. Well done Tony Brown"

"From the 2023 World Cup til now the Wallabies have improved massively. Many wrote them completely off and claimed the Lions would dominate this series. Theres been no domination at all. They have both won two halves each. There was just one play between going to a deciding third Test at 1-1. If you still dont believe the Wallabies are any good or worthy of the series the Lions are then the most overhyped and most overrated team in history. No other option for them after struggling this much"
