@RugbyInsideLine Harsh on Tuipulotu. Would have been good to see all three Scots in midfield.
Also Porter has done well to keep his place! Other than that, can’t argue!
Since the Indian cricket fanbase have recently became EXTREMELY passionate about people in positions of responsibility acting calmly, showing no emotion and respecting everyone on the cricket field ...
They'll be disgusted with this from Gambhir, right?

@CaptSpringbok We cannot analyse every single contact within the game on a millisecond by millisecond basis the game would turn into an absolute bore fest. It would be the end of the game.
I’ve seen a lot of fans leaning on Nigel Owens and Wayne Barnes for their views on Saturday’s game. While I respect them hugely and the game misses them, let’s not forget they’re both British referees. Their opinions, while informed, are still partisan in this case.

@henrymoeranBBC The Indian lads showed lots of fight! I do wish we (England) would make more pitches that had a bit more in it for the bowlers though….! 🥴
From 23-5 down, to winning 29-26 in the last minute. What a staggeringly good comeback from the Lions.
Wallabies, well done, you turned up and made it an epic.
1927 was the last time the Lions swept a series, v Argentina. Before that 1891 in SA.
Slice of history in Sydney?
@bencoles_@ObserverUK He has more time that anyone I can remember seeing in world rugby. Same as last game, when he was waiting patiently for the ball to pop up! Worldly. ❤️
Difference between Joe Root and Steve Smith is.
Joe Root has the volume of runs.
Steve Smith not only has the volume of runs but has performed in all conditions.
Root has a red inker in Australia.
Whenever Root and Smith have come h2h Smith is ahead by a fairly margin.
@sujeetsuman1991 Unbelievable. And Rishabh Pant has a big bat in his hand, and his tactics seem to be clear, try to hit the ball really hard and really far. Madness.
Who said Cricket is gentleman game? England tactics seems to be clear,they are targetting injured Rishabh Pant leg and want to send him for long break.
“It just opens up such a big can of worms…”
Sir Alastair Cook thinks substitutes in international cricket brings too many complications.
What do you think?

BCCI fans are hilarious they expect our bowlers to lob 120kph floaters for Pant to smash everywhere. No short balls, no yorkers, just let him bat freely, maybe tell him to rest in the dressing room with his feet up?
Called it with Owen on the bench. Surprised to see no Sione but Bundee is a freak.
The squad looks slightly more physical.
A tough test awaits. Wallabies look stronger. Thoughts?
Underwhelming from the overblown Lions. Ought to have made it a no-contest against a Wallaby squad handicapped by the loss of their best forwards (Rob Valetini, Will Skelton) and a schedule of one Test in eight months. Maro Itoje lucky to have avoided the sin-bin.
