The 2 tries will make this look better but the defending from the lions whilst they were down to 14 was pathetic.

I don't like the balance of the back row, we've gone a little too far too the big and strong end of the spectrum and we're lacking a bit of guilt around the fringe, which they're targeting.

The lions were ok but there were 3-4 of them who will be lucky to play the 3rd test. Conan, Lowe and Furlong in particular were very poor.

Don't understand the technical side of RU but I enjoyed the match. Some may say BILs were fortunate but I didn't think that when final try went over the line. The team that dominated the last 20 mins won.

Our defence was embarrassing, too many missed tackles and too many players slow to fan across. Aside from that the entire setup was to be physically dominant which just about worked but I'd like to see a little more intent to play. We've won the series so any complaints feel a little unfair but this australia team is fucking shit and we've let them be competitive.

Tizzano feigning a head injury at the end was pathetic and classic whiney arsed Australians will no doubt have plenty to say about the decision, which was perfectly correct, maybe he should be cited the massive wanker.

I think there was plenty of intent to play, but a slightly misguided view of what you can do with a team pulled together like this. Lions have only won 6 series, so it shouldn’t be scoffed at.
