Well, Folau did get a bit of a shove in the back, but I don't think it was a deliberate attempt to injure Barnes, just a Lions player trying to get to the ball.

Slightly off topic, but this is a great perspective on Sat night's tries!

3 tightheads won - well done. Lineouts solid.

I was expecting the Lions to be brutal at the scrum, along with what looked like a shit pitch...
but the forwards had an amazing day on the paddock!

[UNCLE BOOG]

So who else had Folau as first try scorer

the missus called it, and (while I dont gamble) I stuck a tenner on him, she was pretty chuffed with herself!

The "deliberate" part came from Phil Kearns. You cannot believe anything this dribbling turd says, he is always whinging but only about the opponents never the Wallabies or his beloved powder puff blues. How anyone could employ this moron as a commentator is completely beyond me.

With the exception of Sharpie, the entire Fox commentary team is moronic.

Who else nearly puked to see the viewer poll about Folau's wallaby debut being the greatest of all time?

Sure he played a great game on debut, but only two tries, both Johnny on the Spot efforts in a losing team? Surely they're having a wank?

Agree! And in all the boot licking, Ben Mowen's awesome debut seems to have been brushed aside.

I quite like Kafer. Comes out with some good analysis. Probably make a good coach. .

Kearns did elaborate after the "deliberate" comment to say that there was nothing wrong with the shove but that that was why the injury occurred.

It was a pleasure listening to the English commentators. Sky's team shoul be made to listen but I doubt they would learn anything thy are so thick!

I think he tried already. If my memory serves me correctly, our new CEO gave him the axing at Saracens. Probaly why he does not say much positive about the Force.
