Has Kinghorn touched the ball yet?
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

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

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

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.

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.

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.
