lol, lmao even

turns out Aussies do have a spine eh

Wallabies need another yellow card to stay in this.

Why are northen hemisphere countries so shit at rugby?

>>149960783
man flexing because they narrowly beat the French Z team at home lol

There is a distinct lack of British Isles flags here.

I didn't think the wallabies had it in them. Good game so far.

>Ireland would beat Aus on their own
>England would beat Aus on their own
>Scotland would beat Aus on their own

The lines

>>149960801
You shouldn't retain such knowledge about various flags past posting history

>be a shitbag and don't make a thread because you know the lions win
>aussies get their nose ahead
>immediately rush to make a thread
>they lose anyway

the reddit hemisphere is a joke

This Aus side might beat the nu-blacks

Just imagine the sheer amount of women running to the south auckland womens shelter aswell as the male suicides

eeeerr might have got a bit too cocky lionsbros Itoje was already getting pre-emptive cope out

>>149960897
Which part of the britian does itojes family hail from? Can't place the accent

aki and lowe having right mares tonight, get these kiwi shitters off the field

>>149960897
Hello mate, can I see your internet licence and registration please?

Great leadership being shown by the non native nigger who isn't even english, whos "decision" in (((london))) was it to make an african captain?

Australia loses this

>>149960985
Bit harsh mate, hes more belonging to the british isles than the best two irish players

russell finally deciding to stop being a scottish shitter

>>149961035
You dont measure a scot by how he playsduring the game, but by how he bottles it at the end of the game

>>149961021
Not in my book

Irish untermensch being racist will never not be funny

itoje is not captain material

bullied by skelton the whole time he was on

Been a good game.

>>149961195
yeah, finally a good showcase on FTA tv

>this right here could be the game
>this here could be the series

The stansport commentators after every single play for the last 25 minutes

kick it ffs

WHERES WILKO

cheeky droppy when

THEYVE FUCKING DONE IT LADS!!!!!!!!!

TMO save them.

L M A O

Based soccer acting

ausbros..... for fucks sake lads

SAVE ME REF

Australia needs to import its own breed of itojes

snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

FUCKING CHEATING CUNTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Based refball dirty northern thugs

SCENES

Wheyyyy *blasts rugby ball into your stupid Pozzie faces*

I thought they only dived in football

No try, that clearly violates the narrative I want

surely diving like that means penalty try for the lions

AAAAGH SAVE ME REF
ACK-

Ref'll save them

was sure they were gonna rig it there

TRY GIVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wallabies have been shafted in regards to foul play this series.

>aus commentator BTFO lol

>Pozzies

gg ausbros

Kek the Ozzie commentators were clamouring for the penalty

SH is a joke

sorry but giving victory to the wallabies for that would have vindicated every criticism that the game is too nitpicky and ruled by the TMO

What a bottle job from the convicts, SAD!

>>149960618 (OP)
*inhales*

The commentators still saying Aus were robbed lol

>>149960908
He’s from Ireland. From Burnt, Cork

Yeah, wallabies were gassed by the end. Shouldn't have let the lead disintegrate like that.

>>149961365
he's still crying about it

It takes all 4 of the greatest northern hemispheres teams of all time to combine forces to refball a 3 point victory over the weakest southern hemisphere team at the lowest point in its history

Not sure if Id be celebrating this one personally

>>149961386
The lines are a joke for struggling to beat a Country that went tier 2 years ago.

ez not worried at all at any point there

needed an Irishman to win it of course
>>149961398
still absolutely seething on the comms lol

won the story desu

>>149961365
never heard seethe like it

POZZY POZZY POZZY

can suaali finally get the boot, he fucking sucks

*remembers Eales, Smith, Gregan, Larkham, Mortlock etc*

I miss Australia lads

Australia what a bunch of chancers, no match for the glorious Lions

Wouldve won if they had folau

>>149961456
suallii meme well and truly ended last week
one good run doesn't change that

>>149961421
or

A ragtag bunch of broken players who barely know each other, at the end of the season, travel across the world to play a fresh and cohesive SH team at home and pump them 2-0

>>149961421
the worst england of all time went to australia in 2022 and won a series

>>149961472
they had folau last time and they lost

that awkward moment when they dogpiled Folau for his beliefs and unfortunately found out that those are the same views of every pacfic island and coconut player

lions first and last try being dodgy is great storytelling

Itoje really embodies what it means to be a british and irish man

>>149961517
nobody was saying he couldn't have those beliefs. What he couldn't do is post things on social media saying people were going to hell for being gay while being an employee of what is a private company that gave him multiple warnings

>>149961481
>cohesive SH team
I didn't see NZ/SA/Arg out there

itoje would be the smartest man in oceania 2bf

>>149961563
Quintessential modern city australian cuck response

youre in no place to be judging anyone lel

Feel like this Loins team would lose 3-0 to SA/NZ frankly

sir andy farrell

Ever since HE COULDA DOYD referees have bent over backwards to favour the British Lions. 2009, 2013, 2017, 2021, 2025. 5 straight series of refball cannot be a coincidence.

>>149961605
Im from rural new zealand you faggot,

Imagine siding with pic related over soulful coconuts who are the lifeblood of SH rugby because their beliefs hurt your feelings

KEK

>>149961634
Jumping in particular, the Lions love it. Today, a try from hurdling a tackler. 8 years ago, a penalty from jumping into the tackle to catch a pass.

I can't recall a single moment of the 2021 series, I feel like it gets memoryholed for being in front of an empty stadium

>>149961649
Same for the jap olympics sadly

>>149961642
not an argument. it was a purely money decision because sponsors were getting shitty being associated with a guy who couldn't keep his beliefs to himself like any sane person
>I'm from new Zealand
that explains a lot

>>149961649
remember the rassie video

the sweewee blowie loves coconut cock, shock

>>149961613
SA yeah, NZ barely beat France B at home

>>149961692
>blowie
He's pretty much been in /rug/ since its inception

>>149961676
No it was moral grandstanding because they intertwined too deeply with kikes who impose monetary punishments for not towing the globohomo line

And the results show with how shit australian rugby became, the same cancer has been rotting away the all blacks too

>>149961692
Coconut farming in rugby is superior to whatever the fuck you lot are doing itoje and your "roadmen"

>>149961712
>muh kikes
>muh globohomo
there it is, you and that random paddy must share notes

>>149961762
There was a flagposting scotsman about 8 or so years ago who was 10 times worse than either
Wonder if he still posts here

>>149961649
I remember the second test the ref was terrified to penalise the Boks and they got away with murder.

>>149961762
Just say youre from melbourne bro

I bet you defendes the cops pulling automatic rifles of people not wearing masks on the beach too

>>149961697
When? Back in 2018?

>>149961806
>y-y-youre from Melbourne!
I'm not, and not an argument

>>149961814
Its code for being a weak city dwelling australian who doesnt embody anything that makes australians proud, may aswell be from LA

>>149961826
I live in mount isa, how does that compare to Sweden lol

Couldn't even name you the best Aussie XV of the last decade.

Feel like Pocock and Folau have been the only genuine players even close to world class.

>>149961845
Could probably say that about any team that's not South Africa.

>>149961845
Hooper had his moments

If they got nathan cleary they would immediately be back to A tier

>>149961844
I dont care, your actions mark you as a bitch, name dropping towns doesnt undo how you talk pussy, go away lmao

>>149961845
Hooper comes to mind as well, O'Connor or Cooper maybe but their prime was over a decade ago.

very little otherwise

Probably shouldve brought Matt giteau out again, surely wouldve been the difference

>>149961880
jesus wept do you walk around with a helmet on
you kept demanding i was from Melbourne, as if that had anything to do with what I said

>>149961845
Koroibete could also count coming to think of it.

>>149961896
And bring Kurtley and Cooper in too! have the old boys who won't retire and are now becoming fashion influencer dickheads

>>149961902
Because mentally you are a melbournite, a weak male who marches in pride parades because you think youll get pussy out of it

Fuck off seriously

>>149961914
Koroibete is a good shout actually. Wasn't elite for very long but probably the only post-Folau wallaby who would get into a World XV for a given year.

>>149961845
Alaalatoa, Tupou, Skelton, McReight, Valetini, McDermott, and Ikitau are world-class. Bell and Jorgensen will be if they aren't already.

>>149961922
nice projection lmao

>>149961845
I’d say Genia was also great and when I looked at their 2015 WC squad there were still some of the old stalwarts. Still had Beale/Kuridrani, two-dads. But imo their biggest problem is that they have got no big hard forwards. Skelton is big but not really hard. All their players look like they could be backs. Look at that panel with Harrison he was a big unit.

>>149961959
Acting like this conversation didn't begin out of you defending dropping folau for being anti gay, now I'm the pro pride one? Classic softmale/feminine tactic, eventually end in a loop to try and gain some power

Pathetic

>>149961993
Kek you've got him pinned now

>>149961993
>defending dropping folau for being anti gay,
not what I said, try reading it again
this is my fault for arguing with an idiot

>>149961984
They were showing clips from 2001 with Harrison this week, he was picking fights and nothing off at cunts and shoving their faces. Meanwhile, last week, our tiny 22yo debutant flyhalf got deliberately taken out in the air and no one even gave Tom Curry a shove or anything. There is no malice in this team, they are all nice boys.

>>149961945
>Alaalatoa
feel like he's always been consistent never great
>Tupou
good wrecking ball but never had the fitness, and has been continuously injured
>Skelton
perhaps, but spent most of his prime in europe
>McReight
Perhaps, I think he was robbed a bit and lost his best playing years when Hooper was still playing, he is looking okay now
>Valentini
Has always been consistent with moments of brilliance, but I don't think a do or die player
>McDermott
Solid, however I feel like right now he's shining just due to the pure state of the wallabies currently, he used to fuck up a lot
>Ikitau
again i think this is a consistency bias

>>149961563
You insufferable faggot

>>149962030
McDermott used to make mistakes and his pass wasn't that good, but he's evolved and sorted those out and is now the best bench scrumhalf in the world and a top 5 starting scrumhalf. Ikitau is the best 13 tied with Huw Jones. Valetini is the best 8 in the world except maybe Alldritt, he is literally guaranteed metres with every carry but still has slick hands. Agree with the others really but depends what you mean by world class, I just meant that they're good enough to compete with any team, or to be a contender for selection in any team.

>>149962078
Folau was given multiple chances and he still wouldn't cop on
If youre just on his side simple because he's le based christian taking a stand against evil globohomo just say that

>>149962100
Melbourne state of mind

there he is

ROBBED

>>149962100
NTA but are you seriously defending the illegal sacking of an employee for the public stating of religious beliefs? RA broke the law, and to make matters worse the sponsor they were trying to appease by sacking Folau dumped them anyway, and we lost a bunch of our best players overseas because they didn't want anything to do with RA after that, and our new sponsor made us change our national colours.

You may have the view that someone who cherished their employment wouldn't take the risk of saying something controversial even if he had the legal (and/or moral) right to do so, but you would2 be merely expressing your own circumstances. Folau's love of God was more important to him than anything, and he was always able to get higher paying employment overseas .

>>149962172
Honestly not sure, and that's the problem. The game is so inconsistent now. That cleanout happens at every ruck, but on the other hand they often disallow tries for it because suddenly they check everything if a try is scored. Morgan made head contact but they usually allow it if you are horizontal or lower. He went off his feet but that was permitted all game. I think most of the time it's a penalty but I also think most of the time we're relieved if a ref overlooks it. It had less of an effect on the game than our wide channel defence which gave pay to the Lions every time for almost no effort.

kek KEK

>>149962191
>illegal sacking of an employee
According to who? He agreed to RA's code of conduct etc when he signed the contract. That undoubtedly included a cause not to bring the game into disrepute or go against RA's values etc (typicla HR speak). Again, he wasn't sacked because he was a Christian, he was sacked because he couldn't stop saying gay people are going to burn in hell at every opportunity. RA didnt discipline him for essentially the same thing in 2018 btw
>dumped them anyway
>lost a bunch of players overseas
Irrelevant. RA's money problems and mismanagement contriburing to these started before this and continued after
The whole saga was nothing more than an employee being fired by a company because he was risking the money

Stop moaning asstralia, your player dived

Should be punished for that play acting. If you got time to roll, look around, then put your hands to your head, you weren't hit in the head. Dark arts, I get it. You had to try. But still, should be fined.
