3rd & 7 37yd

Great finish to entertaining 40'. POC huge. Zebo clearly eyeing up a Test spot. TYoungs everywhere. Sexton controlling.

Individual winners and losers so far? AW Jones and O'Connell have excelled, Davies has outshone Roberts and Youngs has been impressive in the loose. Not so good from Maitland and Heaslip

by Iain Spragg 6/15/2013 10:29:56 AM
And the big debate? Warburton has certainly been solid. No big carries or turnovers over yet but good protection of Lions possession at the breakdown...

by Iain Spragg 6/15/2013 10:31:33 AM
Quite game so far from Phillips It's the kind of game you feel Ben Youngs would enjoy...

by Iain Spragg 6/15/2013 10:32:34 AM
How long before we get a glimpse of the rarely seen lesser spotted Rob Kearney? Not long I suspect...

by Iain Spragg 6/15/2013 10:34:47 AM
Top first-half that. O'Connell immense, Halfpenny immaculate, Davies, Zebo and Alun-Wyn Jones also in prime form. #lions2013

Gatland doesn't look a happy bunny in the dressing room. Lots of angry finger pointing going on...

by Iain Spragg 6/15/2013 10:36:16 AM
Second half up and running...

by Iain Spragg 6/15/2013 10:36:45 AM
Zebo had a huge first half

44min: TRY. Waratahs 10 Lions 30. Pressure, pressure. Davies again with great hands, Halfpenny racing through on the angle. Best try of the match. Halfpenny of course adds the conversion. He's got 25 points already!

46min. TRY. Waratahs 15 Lions 30. Lions fall asleep defensively and Carter crashes over from close range. A bit of a dust-up afterwards as tempers begin to fray..

49min: Sorry, ISN'T done and dusted yet!!!!

by Iain Spragg 6/15/2013 10:47:31 AM
actions of the Warratahs No1 there pretty awful. Forearm pushing down on Sexton's throat. #LionsTour #WARvLIO #LiveLions #Lions2013 #Lions

50min: Waratahs are top try scorers in Super Rugby this season. They definitely have that 'you score two, we'll score three' attitude

by Iain Spragg 6/15/2013 10:48:38 AM
51min: Lions penalty in the 22 for offside. Warburton summons Halfpenny...

52min: PENALTY: Waratahs 17 Lions 33. Halfpenny's up to 28 points - a record for a Lions player Down Under

by Iain Spragg edited by Mike Robinson 6/15/2013 10:50:54 AM
54min: Ulugia takes out Zebo off the ball, penalty to the Lions and Farrell (yep, he's on) clears

55min: TRY. Waratahs 17 Lions 38. Interception by the excellent Davies and Lions counter attack wide. Croft gallops over in the corner like a mad giraffe.

56min: CONVERSION. Waratahs 17 Lions 40. Halfpenny does what he does and adds the extras

by Iain Spragg edited by Mike Robinson 6/15/2013 10:56:05 AM
57min: You can't keep these Waratahs down. They come again and work their way into 22

by Iain Spragg 6/15/2013 10:57:51 AM
I think croft has resolved the blindside argument today, without the need to see dan lydiate. #lions

by MartWhit via twitter 6/15/2013 10:58:19 AM
59min: Lions go through the gears again but Zebo pinged for holding onto the ball

by Iain Spragg 6/15/2013 11:00:09 AM
60mins: Seven Lions subs at the same time! Too many to list! Suffice to say Gatland has well and truly emptied the bench

by Iain Spragg 6/15/2013 11:01:14 AM
Mass changes for the @lionsofficial . Hibbard, Corbisiero, Cole, Parling, Lydiate and Youngs all on for the last 20 minutes. #WARvLIO

by Qantas Wallabies via twitter 6/15/2013 11:01:59 AM
61min: Kearney on the pitch. Arguably the happiest man in Sydney right now. Not so happy is Phillips, who has big bag of ice strapped to right knee

by Iain Spragg 6/15/2013 11:03:38 AM
Vunipola had a mixed game

by Mike Robinson 6/15/2013 11:03:39 AM
64min: Another Lions penalty in 22 but this time they go for scrum...

by Iain Spragg 6/15/2013 11:04:28 AM
65min: Scrum goes down and another Lions penalty. Scrum time again...

by Iain Spragg 6/15/2013 11:05:56 AM
66min: Referee losing patience with the Waratahs. A yellow card could be imminent

by Iain Spragg 6/15/2013 11:07:05 AM
67min: Bizarrely he now pings the Lions. Waratahs cheer and clear. Game gone into a bit of a lull

by Iain Spragg 6/15/2013 11:07:53 AM
68min: Parling steals lineout, Heaslip charges forward. Lions probing again

by Iain Spragg 6/15/2013 11:08:56 AM
69min: Roberts limping off but Lions have no more subs...

by Iain Spragg 6/15/2013 11:09:52 AM
70min: Looks like a hamstring problem for Roberts

by Iain Spragg 6/15/2013 11:10:21 AM
I,d rather be a lion than a roo
