So what is the source of the confidence for the Lions in the first test? Is it that Australia are not the force they were?

Yeah, also their injuries.

As well as that the Lions look to be a strong team. They had good outings against the Reds and the Waratah's and have lads playing in the team who are clearly on form.


I have serious doubts about the front row and the lineout. Tom Youngs is not international quality. In saying that neither is Hibbert or Best. Madness having Lydiate on the bench ahead of O'Brien. Lydiate is an unreal tackler, not a game changer!!

Be interesting to see how they deal with Genia around the base of rucks.

The Lydiate one is an odd one alright. If Heaslip is injured who is going to play 8?

Genia is running the show. Lions are lucky not to be further behind with O Connors 2 missed penalties.

Cheers.  Finally something working

Some try by North, they won't kick it to him again!

Thought North had another try

The one he did score http://t.co/aHIuL9GG2a

What a mighty Lions team. We can't defend for our lives, though.

North scoring tries and knocking out people.
