Tri-Nations: Australia vs Great Britain - Test 4

[DIEHARD]

Australia lead Britain 8-0 at half time!

Intercept try to Matt Cooper curtesy of a wayward Cunninghan pass.

One conversion and one penalty goal to Fitzgibbon.

The Lions are suprisingly competitive. But their play needs to be more structured and they need more second phase. There is little support or pressure being applied by the Lions.

It makes you wonder how Britain would go if they ever got a decent halves combo.

Cunninghan has been great for the Poms.

Looking forward to the 2nd half and the traditional collapse by the British and Carney.

[DIEHARD]

What a bunch of uncos (Lions)!

Kick off in the 2nd half, ball goes up, I think to myself...

"I bet they knock on..."

Sure enough Wellens knocks on 4 seconds into the match.

Great Britain are funny. :naughty:

[DIEHARD]

Here come the British and Carney!

Lions score off a short pass from Cunninghan to Morley right under the sticks...

[DIEHARD]

Lions convert 8-6 to the Kangaroos.

[DIEHARD]

Match isn't over yet, but I have to say our Carney has had a fantastic match!

He is all class to bounce back so well. Just what we want at the Titans.

CARNEY! CARNEY! CARNEY!

[DIEHARD]

Fitzgibbon misses a penalty goal for a ball steal.

8-6 8 mins to go!

[DIEHARD]

Mini scores!!!!! Kangaroos have all but won the match now!

[DIEHARD]

I have to say I was expecting a thrashing of the Lions but I was pleasantly suprised that we got a really tough Test Match.

[DIEHARD]

Fitz converts, taking his total to 100 points for the Kangaroos!

[DIEHARD]

Kangaroos win!
