Just in time to catch the last part of game. So Lions are running away with this as expected. Sounds like George North has a bit of hassle with hamstring, may just be a bit of cramp.
Force driving it up, Force scrummy trying to claim they scored but ref says no and gives Force a penalty that they tapped and went..
Yellow to Alun Wyn Jones
62 @ Bullscot:
Hello Bullybeef!
Force choose the scrum option at the penalty
63 @ grootblousmile:
Oh dear and now Lions scrumming with 7, always wonder about this surely best to put as much pressure as you can on the opposition scrum
64 @ grootblousmile:
Hello GBS sounds like a good passage of play by Force here, how you doing? Am just on lunch break listening to commentary on radio.
Try for Lions – Geoff Parling!
Try Lions, next to the sticks… Parling
Lions 69 / 17 Force
Halfpenny gets conversion over – 11/11 sucessful kicks for him today!
George North flying down the left wing well tackled by Norton-Knight and gets Force posession
67 @ Bullscot:
I’m office bound (rugby bound) today…. hehehe
Less than a minute left in the match
Sean O’Brien got cramp now, sounds like he has had a very good game covering a lot of the field
Hooter goes…. Force have the ball
73 @ grootblousmile:
Gosh its a tough life for some hey
Forward pass… game over
69/17 – LIONS WIN!!!
77 @ Bullscot:

Final Score: British & Irish Lions (27) 69 / 17 (3) Western Force
Richard Hibbard Lions and Wales hooker on radio commentary predictably saying he is happy with the game a lot of mention of we and team in his chat.
Lions travel tomorrow, team practice Friday and then next game on Saturday against Queensland Reds.
Radio’s man of the match coming up…
81 @ Bullscot:
Yip, he was stretchered off… looked like an ankle injury
Brian Moore’s man of the match is Jonathan Sexton – sounds like he ran the show very well from flyhalf, also sounds like the Irish players stepped up from their 6 nations performance, just shows what having better players and coach around you does, well must get back to office cheers vir eers
Hi guys. Thanks for the commentary and comments. Think the injury looked like a twisted knee – he looked like he was in agony.
Damn – forgot about this game!!! Wanted to watch it!!!!!
