The Rugby Pod - Episode 21 'Chile'

It's not getting away with it if what you did was completely legal. No one would have questioned it if he was a winger diving in the corner.

“Extremely lucky to get away with a dodgy clearout on Carlo Tizzano.”

Also not lucky. You see that sort of clear out dozens of times per game. Usually the player on the floor doesn't dive and grab his head though. The attempt to cheat by faking head contact was the only thing worth talking about.

Lions halfbacks were considerable worse than the first test which resulted in a lack of fluidity and took the Lions a long time to find any composure in attack.

Honestly, ask a BIL player which SH scalp they would love to claim in a BIL series and Australia would be bottom of the list.

Surprisingly capable for a man of his lack of talent.

Then he award a penalty only.

He's out of his depth blowing amatuer club games.

The wallabies got done dirty.

Probably enough mitigation in the clean out to avoid a card but it's a penalty. He then holds Tizzano’s leg on the deck. Penalty.

Played the player off the ball.

A defensive player down and Keenan scores in the corner off an overlap. Brutal call.

They bottled it - but it wasn’t as bad as the reversal in 2017

No I think it’s a decent enough Lions team

They are picked from the top teams in those countries

In saying that the wallabies showed they were evenly matched so I guess there is that! A better team would have beaten them

Yeah you are right about no real plan In that second half

The first 35 was absolutely perfect
