shot the load a tad early, sadly.

Are we talking Rugby here ?

Hopefully tonight's poor effort by Mr Cooper has put an end to the chances of his elevation to the Wallabies squad for the foreseeable future.

I'm looking forward to the country v lions game at Newcastle....bring back the biff!

Great game by the Wallabies and the Lions. Missing a penalty that would have won the game right on full time because he slipped as he took the kick was very unfortunate for Beale (and the Wallabies). The atmosphere generated by a sell out crowd at Suncorp Stadium was fantastic. Can't wait for the 2nd test in Melbourne.

Lions let off twice the second time Bradbury style....not to mention O'Connors early misses. To much ball turned over and Aussies injuring themselves on the pitch. I thought they defended well until they let some easy tries in....as always Suncorp had a great atmosphere.

Turf at suncorp was shocking, SOO is going to be interesting as a result.

Great to have a win. Would like to see the Wallabies not just let the ball bounce off their chests when its thrown to them.

George North picking up Israel Folau was pretty good though.

Folau looked like he was in a wife-carrying competition

[AndrewM]

wtf happened tonight?

[the crow]

After not giving up at the end of the first half...they gave up.

Chokedy choke choke choke.

Poor brumbies...15 mins that's all you had to defend.

So it appears the fat people could expand to 18 teams with 2 Argie teams and another South African. A possible model would see an A-NZ conference and SAF-SAM conference.

Crossing the Atlantic!

IT'S GOING WORLD WIDE!

Big is beautiful.
