British and Irish Lions Tour 2013

[Ardemax]

Lions team for the 3rd test named: no BOD!!!

Backs: Halfpenny, Bowe, Davies, Roberts, North, Sexton, Philips
Forwards: Corbiesero, Hibbard, Jones, Alun Wyn, Parling, Lydiate, O'brien, Faletau
Bench: Youngs, Vuniploa, Cole, Tipuric, Murray, Farrell, Tuilagi

Thoughts?

I've been checking the Reddit forums. God there's a lot of anti-Welsh sentiment.

To be honest Brian has been giving away penalties because he's not supporting himself at the breakdown. I still think Manu and BOD are a good pairing.

I don't mind that majority of the players are Welsh, it's just the Welsh haven't beat Austrailia in so long. Tbh I'm starting to think this years Lions test is fixed.

Just over 15 minutes until kick off. Excited isn't even the word.

That was fantastic! It was hard to decide who to support considering both teams have kiwi coaches but I am so happy the lions won and happy for Gatland!
Robbie Deans will probably be sacked but if he wasn't sacked now he would have been when the wallabies get smashed in the rugby championship.
If the wallabies can't beat the Lions how will they beat South Africa or the All Blacks? Based on that performance they may even struggle against Argentina.

This. That was an amazing game from the Lions absolutely smashed Australia which is good to see

So proud that they stepped up in the final game and performed just so well, can't really describe how happy I am. Both teams have Kiwi coaches but put it this way, who would you rather have as a Coach/Assistant for the NZ rugby team as thats what they are both aiming for - can't wait to see Gatland continue his amazing record.

I read something before about that this series doesn't influence Deans' position and he is resigned until the end of the year or next year or something which I find hard to believe. Australia are definitely going downhill, who knows might even drop places in the IRB rankings if their terrible performances continue.

Anyways, SO HAPPY FOR THE LIONS Party hard, all supporters deserve it!

Hmmm I wouldn't be so sure of that
