Okay, he’s held in there. Great work. Gibson Bolt wants to get this one away having failed last time. And it’s another penalty. And there might just be an extra little bit of space over here. Low carries. Genj does as well. Almost up to the line. Gibson Park might dive himself. Thought about it. Furong Russell thought about the kick pass, but what a pass. Oh, what a pass. Two away with a Lions test match try. A dreamlike moment. And it was a dreamy score. The Lions look a different class to the wannabes at the minute. They look fit. They look strong. They’re winning collisions. Speed of ball is good, which allows Finn Russell just to have time on the ball. And what a pass that is. Over the top finishes. Really good score. [Applause] to a nice little pull back. It’s coming to out to Low. Low back inside. Now it’s Jones and he’s rolling. You can see it happening. You can see the space opening. What a finish that is from Hugh Jones on the stretch. Did he get there? Yes, absolutely. It’s going to be checked. Richard Kelly is the television match official. So the player must be held and go to ground. So for me at the moment the tackle is complete there. He never releases the ball. Does anyone Does anyone see the actions of the goal player coming in diving on the player? I think he misses the player. There is a minimal contact which I don’t think he dives over the player and I agree with see misses. It’s a minimal contact. I don’t think he’s So we’re going to disallow the try. Feels like feels like the right decision, doesn’t it? [Applause] Oh, Jorgensson. He’s done it. Russell won’t get him. That’s the moment the home side needed. Something out of nothing. That’s exactly what the Wild Beers need. You can see here just strips it off him in the air. really good contest. Keenan does really well actually. Finn Russell can’t quite cover at the end and a brilliant individual finish. It was Shin who went low. It’s presented back to Genj. Can he get there? Tom Curry has to be scored and is sea of red in the stand. Well, there were lions attacking waves there, crashing in and eventually they get the score. Looked like he enjoyed that one. Tom Curry looked like he’s vindicated his performance a little bit. They’ve just been so good. So close to the line in terms of the collision dominance. And you can just see here Tom Curry one versus two there. Leg drive power, body angle. Brilliant from Curry. Tom Curry gets the ball away. Then it’s Russell on to Jones. Jones has great pace of course and he’s looking to weave through as he has done on a couple of occasions on this tour. Gibson Park again. What a chance for front foot here. Conan finds Furlong [Applause] hitting their straps once more. Jones again. Curry already got one try. Sheen referee has given it. This guy him coming in division. His selection was the big talking point all week, but my god has he put a performance in this evening. He’s been everywhere. Starts it with the interception over the top of the line out. And this is really nice skill from him. Just checks that pass last minute to allow Dan Shien to have the the clear running in the corner. [Music] There goes McDerma. Here’s Surely upended and taken on. And is it over? Australia have a try that they simply had to score. And it’s Jose Fakusu Su Ali and he has wriggled over. If we apply the same rules of the first half, it should be no try. Okay. So, okay. So, just as we go through this, the first thing that we were clearing is making sure that there was no foul play by Red in the leadup. My view is that he uses both arms. Are you happy with that? Yes, agree. There is arms in the tackle. The second thing is that there is no tackle, but the Lions are on top of the ball and they are holding on to the ball and because of that they drag Wales into in goal. They should win the ball. So, it’s no try penalty. Forward goes Frost. It’s agonizing for Australia here. They are the hardest meters, but they’ve done it. My goodness. They again needed to there. Tano has an unbelievable scoring record. There he is, number 20. And he’s done it again. He’s also dragged his team back into this contest. Mcder again. He’s had a good contribution in this second half. He really has. Tano also. And they are going for another. And they’ve got it. Mcder has had a really good contribution. Now he has something to show for it as well. They’ll get quickly back in position. It’s a good score from Mcder. He’s looked good. Really good. Brought pace to the game. Said we he said he was going to be a he was going to be a sniping nine. [Applause] And the Lions have won in Brisbane again. Once more they take the position of power in a series in Australia.

Really appreciate the insights in this video.
First try goes to the the islander
There should be Southern hemisphere vs a single northern hemisphere country. Let's see the outcome of that.
The referee was huge in game he made own decisions didnt listen to tmo who i think is ruining the game thank you for keeping game interresting
Seriously ! Anyone hating or mad on "Tom Curry" ought to get their heads unwobbled. Curry has been 'outstanding' all season for both Club & Country & now Lions tour this far !
He=uw Jones is so good but needs to distribute earlier sometimes…seems to get white line fever!
Just enjoy the occasion all you keyboard warriors
Well played for British and Irish and Tongan and Philippines and South African and New Zealand and Australian Lions.
All the Lions need to do is have a stronger more solid full back under high balls and it will be 3-0 Lions. This is the worse Australian side ever on their home soil. I expect 3-0 Lions and nothing less.
Disallowed try was a disgraceful decision in my view. Not held properly and therefore was able to continue the action.
Superb Lions 💃 💃 💃 💃
Australia are back! Great improvement from recent times. The Pumas will find very hard opposition….
Easy game for the Lions. Hilarious to see the over-promoted 'Rugby League Star' trying to break a Rugby Union defensive line and go flying upside down. Never seen any RL player contribute much to a Union game anyway, mostly it's the other way around. Lions have had their breakfast, next comes lunch. 🦁😁😂
This and the last Lions tour has lost its appeal. It is definitely missing something.
Why end the game with a kick when you’re behind
Sualii not used
They are Very simply not Ruthless enough! And that's the fault of the Coaching Staff – they let Australia right back in it – they better Harden up and shape up that Second half and the Bench were * Useless – these soft midweek games have been no good to them as expected – Australia now have the Momentum the Lions better * Wake up – Sharp!
Russell is a genius fella
Wallabies have never been weaker….
Russell is a joy to watch. What a rugby footballing brain. What an array of skills.
I appreciate its just rugby. But seeing the Isles get on this well fills me with pride in a time where our values and identity are being challenged. I love seeing scots Irish and English showing genuine passion and pride for their respective isles identity regardless of names and our pasts. ✌️
no one talking about how that Huw Jones try was 100% a try? Like not even slightly controversial. The tackler clearly lets his legs slip out his grip whilst they both have momentum. Not even slightly a complete held tackle
This is what happens when you allow the World champs to leave Super Rugby.
Skys commentary slightly ahead of the play, so annoying
Tom Curry shutting all the doubters up
Watching this reminds me of what comes out of my dogs bum
Unless the LIONS just went to sleep, the next test should be a real cracker!!!! Here's hoping the Aussies really did find their mojo in that 2nd half and that it wasn't just the Lions lying down to rest. I'm hoping for a real contest in the next one.
QQ Did the British & Irish lions ever have a roster of British and Irish, or did they always have Australians, South Africans and New Zealanders to help them win matches? I looked up the roster and the amount of players who are from those other counties is incredible… I think I just found a way for us in the US to not get embarrassed in the 2031 home World cup!! Thank you Lions for the idea I will pass it on! Oh and I recommend you give these guys helmets and let them throw it forward, it will become a much better sport! You are welcome!!
Great highlight package! I was unaware games started 0-3
Could you imagine if there was an Irish and Lions cricket team that played the black caps, South Africa, Australia, India, and Sri Lanka? Most of the English team would be made up of the English players, I suppose. we only see Ireland and Scotland at the Cricket World Cup. Maybe the question is, it's probably not profitable, but surely it's worth you know a couple of seasons to try it out.?
Come try that shite on the Bokke! I dare you poms!
Wooblies suck ass for so long now.
Absolute state of Australian rugby…. a Once powerhouse of the game is now a fixture.
Very good australia keep focus in rugby league lads 😂😂😂
So the Irish are British when it comes to rugby? But not any other time?
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Who cares? 😒
The Aussies really care about this series, the first test drew a viewing audience of 800k and the womens state of origin Rugby league game drew over a million viewers.
Why don’t you show the conversion and penalty kicks?
Huw Jones try surely given in most othe matches?
Australia vs Leinster
That Australian team would not bate Snow of a Rope . All bull and hype about the Irish Lions much of a do about FA ..
Thank goodness we have a couple of decent channels,
that give us the whole match, and not a pathetic 6:38 minutes!
Excellent work from the Isles i am so impressed by their fly half and center pair they work together so finely
Nice try
The wallabies would struggle to beat the matildas.
They lack fitness and real intensity.
Ref in 1 sense for british, shame
