πΏπ¦ South African youngster Bathobele Hlekani is an absolute unit. Looks effortless. Still not over England failing to utilise Felix Jones.

π¦ No Valetini is a massive blow, alongside Alaalatoa. Tupou has problems, but makes sense to bring him in now. Big chance to prove he's committed to being the player he can be. If there were a few scraps in the last game, White will certainly make sure there is a few more!.
π WALLABIES INJURY NEWS. According to Road, Valentini is OUT. Big blow for the Aussies, he was one of the big points of difference for them in the second test. Tupou and Nic White are reported to be coming in. If they get going, they could cause a few problems!.

π¦ Also nice from Ikitau. Didn't go his way ultimately due to Lowe mopping up, but a perfectly timed hit on Aki that disrupted both carrying and distributing options on the loop for Russell. Exeter have a really good player coming!.
Big play from James Lowe on Saturday (that I absolutely missed at the time). At 23-5 down, the Lions aim to play Huw Jones flat. Bundee Aki's tip-on ricochets off Len Ikitau. Lowe clears up and moves it wide for Tommy Freeman's big carry. Try three phases later.

π¦ Part of this may be how Freeman is being utilised. When he gets going, still a super option. Carried well on Saturday when given the chance.
π¦ Interesting dilemma facing the Lions on the wings. Lowe has been really poor and Freeman has barely been able to get into games. Do they go all change and give VDM and Hansen a run out? Or do a Toulouse and pop Kinghorn on the wing?.

π¦ LIONS INJURY NEWS . Ringrose still out, but Hansen, McCarthy and Tuipulotu all in contention. Gutting for Ringrose really, as he won't have the chance to push for a spot as a test Lion.

π¦ The defensive picture that will define the series for Australia. Whether it's fitness/structure, failure to wrap cost the Wallabies dearly. 2/15 players on the left side of the pitch and Finn Russell on the ball. Inevitable.

π¦ Ironically too, if Curry hadn't popped a shoulder onto Ikitau after he gave the ball to stop him from coming round as a passing option, he might have got there. Again, really nice move.
π¦ This is really nice awareness from Sua'ali'i making the Wright try. Spots that Aki has bought that it's being shipped wide, that Curry is out of the line from the blitz, and all he needs to do is gas two front rowers already on tired legs. Silky.

π¨ββοΈ Nigel Owens' take on Sheehan's diving try. Much of the law is up to the judgement of the ref in this case. Either way, well planned and well worked.
@Jamiehuwroberts @WorldRugby Getting airborne to score a try in the act of scoring is fine you also then can be tackled whilst in the air. If you felt he was jumping or diving to avoid tackle then PK. A very tricky one but thatβs what you need to decide on to make your decision.

π¦ Allan Alaalatoa is OUT for the third test. Really does feel like time to give Tupou another go at the Lions. He's obviously fallen out of favour a little, but if you need some more bang and physicality, he can give you that.
