1st test - Australia v British & Irish Lions

[Rinkadink]

Curry is absolutely taking the Pissarro, getting away with it as well... Is this what it's like supporting Sale?

Scrum pens coming as soon as the full Irish front row is on

 

[Grizwald]

Feels like Porter has angled in like that his whole career.

What's that penalty for? Plus scrum was completed i thought we were trying to stop this in the game.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Pity penalty

 

[Rinkadink]

God Aus have zero players who can make a impact

Honestly thought Australia carrying and hitting better these last 5 minutes or so.

 

[Groundhog]

Ref trying to even the game with that scrum call. We absolutely feed one of their scrums earlier and ref said play on.

Beirne another big moment

I’m expecting a penalty try for Aus from this scrum

Sorry but I didn’t hear the ref call it a maul?

Carrying snd hitting better but still not making any yards so easy to read

As far as I can see the Lions biggest ever test win against any of the regular opponents was 31-0 again against Aus in 1966. Can see that going.

Biggest ever looks like 43-0 v Arg in 1927.

Ball player hadn’t hit the floor, and the Aussie players joined so technically became a maul.

That isn’t a high tackle

 

[Bluemoon]

Curry again. Should be a second yellow now. Getting away with murder.

 

[ncurd]

Australia get a penalty advantage I see!

 

[dirty harry]

Earls on for Curry, he's fallen off a cliff and is riding his luck at every other breakdown

Curry giving away another penalty

When you play on the edge, it happens. I think overall that's what you want from your 7 and it's been more beneficial than not.

 

[Which Tyler]

I agree you do but you shouldnt…

Right, finished work, and catching up.
This post kinda wants a reply though.

advantage over should be when you've gained more advantage than you would have had from the restart, or an acceptance that you're just going nowhere.

For a scrum advantage, clean possession without going backwards should be advantage over.
For a penalty advantage, having scored, or gained more territory than a kick to touch would have, should be advantage over.
If your central in the pitch, then you're probably expecting about 20m for a kick, so that should be the pojntrof advantage over, if 10-20m out from touch, you can probably expect 30m territory gain (and possession).

The whole point of advantage is that it's advantageous to the alternative.
