Harry Potter is an excellent player, a key player in the Leicester Tigers title winning side.

Lost a lot of momentum when Genge, Furlong & Curry were substituted. 

Oz will be a lot better next week ergo so must the Lions.

That was very flat for a Lions game.

Agree with all of the above. Decent first half if not slightly wasteful in the backs. Forward pack very good, aside from a couple of scrum pens.

Second half very average. Should have kept Finn Russell on for the duration, although perhaps sensible resting such a key player when game was won. The match petered out for the Lions. Should have had closer to 40 points if they'd kept up the quality and intensity. 

A win is a win and it'll be a 3 - 0 whitewash I believe, but that ought to be tempered with the fact that Australia are a considerable distance behind SA and the All Blacks in quality in terms of the southern hemisphere.

Owen Farrell and James Ryan on the same bench...

That's a lot of penalties to risk.


Referee Piardi was ref for Leinster's victories in URC semi and final this year.

At least if the Lions concede a shedload of penalties it might make a game of it!
