Keith Wood was a monster on this tour and played far better than he did in 1997, even thought the Lions lost this tour.

what a series this was, thanks for uploading

Also a storming game by Andre Watson. Changed my view of him 100%

@48:50 The dancing feet of O Driscoll.

Gregans passing speed is unbefitting of the era. Truly one of the great halfbacks of all time.

what do you mean?

Im binging these

Three incredible tries from the Lions from Robinson, James and O'Driscoll, although hard to imagine any of them being scored in the modern game against quality opposition, bar a complete fluke. Defending has got much better in rugby since this era and you can't just run in tries by gassing round your opposite number or putting it through the hands to get a winger over in the corner anymore. Rugby has got more sophisticated, but arguably less entertaining. Also shout out to the rampaging potato, Keith Wood! Best in the world on his day at the time.

I have yet to see a player like Jason Robinson.

Also O'Driscoll - they just couldn't touch him!

Problem was, after this test they figured him out and he didn't get a sniff really.

And wasn't Rob Henderson fantastic?

I get the feeling Andre realised that Quinnell was perfectly within his rights to take the ball so made up a "bordetline" excuae not to yellow card.

Gregan stamps on Charvis in the 80th minute and Johnson asks the ref about it. “If he does that he’s gonna get stepped on” Different game 😁

The Lions won the 1st test comfortably and at halftime in the 2nd test it looked like they had the match and series sealed. But Wallaby stars like Gregan, Larkham, and Roff turned the match and series around for them.

Along with deliberately injuring the lions key player

Possibly Keith Woods best ever game.

Though why did Gregan not get pinged for the deliberate ankle stamp?

Quite; what a cowardly thing to do. Almost as bad as Jamie Joseph stamping on Kyran Bracken's ankle. The ref missed that gutless action as well.

There's almost a sort of freedom to this match. The kicking was atrocious throughout, including Wilko, maybe the ball wasn't the easiest compared to modern rugby balls, but actually the lack of efficiency in kicking made this much more exciting

Nathan Gray. Had an awesome game

Didn’t realise that the rugby game was played at the Gabba.

Howdy. I’m from Texas. What is the goal of this game? I don’t understand what they are trying to accomplish. Why does everyone kick the ball away? I love their passion. 😎🇺🇸

They do play the game in your country. For many years I wondered about the point of baseball. So I did some research.

The best of England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland (Lions) versus the Wallabies. Where is the combined Australia and New Zealand team (Wallawis)? Admittedly, Australia might only get three in the first 15, perhaps three on the bench.

Tom smit what a prop!

Credit to Australia for the way they came back into this series, but if only Matt Dawson and Austin Healey had kept their arrogant opinions to themselves and not fired up the Wallabies, especially Justin Harrison, I think the Lions would've won the 3rd test.

the Lions lost the 3rd test because of injuries and because Charvis took a moronic quick throw in to himself and the Aussies scored from it.

They lost the series when Grey deliberately nobbled Hilda - Lions lost all their continuity.

Lions should off won this tour they had by far the better players but lost it 2 1

lions just too good for them

Great series that Lions should have won ..also a reminder of what an absolute crap ref Andre Watson was - almost cost us the World Cup two years later ......always had to be centre stage with the game about him not the rugby ........

I'd forgotten how it looked like someone at half time told him to make Australia look better or else. He didnt get any better at spotting Aussie scrum shithousery

It's amazing... whenever Aus teams are under pressure someone's shoelaces come undone or there's a non existent injury.

An old trick that my no8 used to use all the time when we were under pressure ...and that was just club rugby...it was bring on the bucket and sponge in those days whatever the injury ...!

Willie Joe Robinson? They can't even be bothered to get the names right. That's poor.

1.14 if it's a ruck then why is the Aussie player on the floor holding onto the ball? 😂😂. Quinnell is on his feet when he rips the ball!

I think he realised which is why he bottled the yellow card.

Lions Jersey was worse than their performance.

Aussie commentators trying to blame the Lions tries on the fact that the Lions were more battle hardened than the Aussies. Missed tackles is the more likely reason. Latham slower than molasses

Simon 'Poisin' Poidevin has to have been one of the worst commentators in the business. He seemed to be obsessed with Neil Back; it got sooo boring.
