Rugby is generally entirely pointless. However, the Lions tours are a fantastic spectacle.

I've never seen a 0-0 in a Rugby match

It'll pass me by just like international Netball does.

I've never seen a 0-0 in a Rugby match

It's happened a few times. There was a 0-0 between England and Wales in 1962, 1936 and 1887. England and Scotland in 1930, 1900 and 1886. New Zealand and Scotland in 1964. England and Ireland in 1963 and 1910. France and South Africa in 1961. New Zealand and South Africa in 1921. Italy and Romania in 1937. Italy and Portugal in 1972. South Africa and British Lions in 1903. Scotland and Wales in 1885. Scotland and Ireland in 1900, 1896 and 1893. These are all of the 0-0 draws I could find which include the current top 10 teams in rugby union. Australia and Argentina have never drawn 0-0.

Plagerised for convenience.

 

[Titanic]

Shocking start

53 seconds in. Nasty looking injury to Leali'ifano.

Hope he is OK.

Good quality stream if you need one :-

Less than a minute gone and the stretcher for an Oz is called for.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Injury timing reminiscent of O'Driscoll in NZ 2005.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Why the hell was that advantage over? 3 points in the bag, a gimme for Halfpenny. Nightmare.

Bollux!!

Always a problem when southern hemisphere refs make up their own rules

 

[Pavilionaire]

Warburton should have told the ref we'll have the penalty. That would have been a reward for 5 mins of pressure.

 

[Barham's tash]

Maybe it's just poor microphone placement but the atmosphere doesn't seem to be that amazing.

Could be the clackers too. Anyone caught site of Gus tutting and throwing toys out of his pram on the sidelines yet?

Hope he is OK.

Good news... he is sitting up and watching from the bench.

This. In the same position as they were when the penalty occurred. It was either a penalty or continue. Really poor refereeing

 

[Titanic]

YES! Great individual try from North.

Catch and run from near half way... beating four tackles and in at the corner.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Sexton influential.

 

[Everest]

Lions starting to take control

 

[Beach Hut]

Lions rocking, great play

 

[Everest]

How close was that?

Pen scored though.

13-7 Lions
