Between 5 and 10 times I think and more than Keenan.

Could do with getting the back 3 involved a lot more.
My sight and hearing must be going :lol: :lol:

None of the back three have had the ball in space really.

Did White and Marcus Smith play u20s together or was Smith the year after?

So the Ref felt the Lions advantage for a peno was done, but the Tahs for a knock on wasn't .... okay :roll:

Mitchell can dummy and step. Can’t do the rest of his job unfortunately.

Mitchell moving well considering the boot up the hole he obviously got at HT :thumbup:

I was just coming on to say the same thing - great at attacking the fringes but overall game poor. Won’t get same spare around fringes in tests though

Thought White may replaced Mitchell by now
Looks like he's only going to get 20 minutes or so

Best kick of the night by Mitchell. Had a good 10-15min.

No idea why Fin hit that up rather than use men.

Hands clearly on the ground before going onto the ball - and right in front of the ref

All of a sudden Mitchell has some good kicks...

Lost it. Lions handling still poor, Farrell won’t be happy.

In an incredibly strict interpretation of the rules that's a penalty try as the NSW player knocks it out his hand on the ground.

Yup. Sheehan, Genge and Furlong playing like flankers in the loose.

That's a bullshit pen, Waratah cleaner overran the ruck and took out the Lion who would've cleaned out.

That's off a boot, not a knock on

Someone explain to ROG the law is deliberate knock on not deliberate knock anywhere.

You'd think this comms team would be better acquainted with the laws. You're allowed to slap the ball backwards, which Jones did. He hasn't 'gotten lucky' or narrowly missed out on sanction.

Sigh. Another unnecessary skip-pass, closed down and turnover.

Hansen has been absolute dirt, Earl has had a better second half, pick of the back row on show today

Bierne playing his way to specialist midweek captain. Weak carry.

Did Hansen join that ruck in front of the ball?
