Nobody would have given a penalty to the Aussies in that scrum!
Hibbard dropping the nut on every Wallaby in sight. 
Brilliant tackle by Parling. Definitely saved a Wallaby score.
O'Sh!t. Wallabies converted try, just after the hooter too.
If there's a silver lining to that, it might be that the Lions could have been too complacent with 19-3 as the half-time score. He says hopefully.

19-10 at half time.
We need to get back on top. The Aussie scrum has been reinforced so we can't rely on dominance there in ten second half for penalties. And our only try came from a mistake by Genia.
We might actually have to play some rugby now. We're playing a very right game with all the play revolving around Phillips popping to forwards who are simply standing around waiting for ball.
We need to be a little more dynamic about it, and a little less predictable. The couple of times we've tried things in the backline it's the same move bringing the blindside winger in, which the Aussies are wide to.
We need to get Phillips to give the ball to Sexton more and have the likes of O'Brien and Faletau running off him, we'll get over the gain line a few times and then be able to use them as decoys that will give the centres a bit of space to work with - they've done nothing so far.

If he wasn't such a hapless fucker he'd have been binned.
And need I remind you that despite carrying AW jones, Smith knocked Hibbard on his arse.?
Hibbard is as bad as Paul o Connell for carrying, the minute he gets hit he just crumbles to the deck
We simply cannot just sit back here in the second half. We've put in so much in that first half that some of the players must be feeling the pace, i'd be happy to see a few early subs to counter this.
Parling, AW Jones, Hibbard, Corbs, Falatue andn O'Brien have been sensational so far.
