Will Skelton was without a doubt the most influential player in this Lions series. With him on the field, the Wallabies outscored the Lions 38-24 for a +14 points differential. A massive 'what if' for them. Not available for first Test and only played 43 mins in the second.

Dylan Pietsch designed the jersey. Dylan Pietsch designed the ball. Dylan Pietsch scored a try. Dylan Pietsch is just a swell dude.

Porter up to his normal tricks again yesterday.... And the most astonishing thing is? It was the Aussies who got penalised in this scrum!

Taniela Tupou. Love him. Hope Aussie rugby gets so much more out of him over the next few years, but hope he’s happy more than anything. Wears his heart on sleeve.

Boring in Union… Brilliant in League…
