Aussies taking defeat well
Every member of the #Wallabies squad needs to feel this moment - the injustice of the blatant and dangerous foul play that went rewarded - and never forget it … shame on the officials here for what they have done
Think we might have to go with the best referee rugby has ever seen.
My take on the ending of the second @lionsofficial test and why I think the refs got it right 👇
Touring and the thirst for new culture and experiences has been a foundation stone of rugby for more than 230 years. But modern Lions tours seem to forget that, writes @stephenjones9 Read his column 👇 thetimes.com/sport/rugby-un…
You don’t have to agree with all of his observations all the time but @stephenjones9 writes with such a passion inspired by a love of the Game that his Lions report today almost feels composed in blood & sweat mingled with a few tears to boot . A wonderful piece of writing ✍️…
And Tommy got the sarnies in for the lads
Courageous Lions take their place in history after last-minute try @stephenjones9 @TimesSport thetimes.com/article/75e356…
Carlo Tizzano, hit by Jac Morgan at the very end, did himself no favours by a backwards dive and appeal to the ref.
Great clear out by @jacmogs7 what is he supposed to do. Never a pen.
Fantastic occasion before over 90k at MCG. Shame about roaring idiot in the PA. Felt ref did not allow Lions advantage for their superior scrum but heroic comeback and series taken. @TimesSport

🌹 Red Roses World Cup Squad This team represents years of hard work, sacrifice, and dreams realised. Having worn the rose in the @rugbyworldcup myself, I know the pride, pressure, and passion that comes with it. Congrats to all selected. The journey ahead is like no other.
One of the greatest players and greatest characters any form of rugby has ever seen.
Emily Scarratt is set to become the first English rugby union player to appear in 5 World Cups. #RWC2025
Much coverage at G Ringrose withdrawing from T2 after head knock. Not so much about the injustice of Huw Jones being dropped after excellent First Test. Now restored.
Jack.
Cummings should be lock replacement and Ringrose very unlucky. How Lowe is still starting a mystery. @lionsofficial @wallabies
Absolutely loved last night! This side deserves a future and more regular matches! Nz have: All Blacks All Blacks XV Maori All Blacks Why can’t we have: Wallabies Australia A/XV First Nations Pasifika Super rugby is short, get the boys playing! @kurtley_beale @rugbycomau
"Very special game to be a part of, representing so many cultures!" Kurtley Beale explains what it meant to play for the First Nations & Pasifika XV ❤️
Simon they’ve got to keep that team going. Game of the tour so far.
End of a fantastic week with First Nations & Pasifika team down in Melbourne, great concept that hopefully opens future pathways/opportunities for our indigenous & Pasifika youth. Great memories created and thanks to everyone at RA involved in getting this team up and running 🙏🏾
