Didnt see the match but when I saw the team selection I just thought we wouldnt do it.
Well done oz,all down to last test.

Disappointing to hear Warbuton will be out for the decided. Horwill will find out if he joins him on the sidelines today.

Horwill has been cleared a second time: http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/un...702-2p8yj.html

I can't understand the IRB taking the unprecedented step to review the case, given he was already exonerated.

Anyway it will be interesting to see how the two camps react. One losing their captain the other retaining him for the final game.

Can't wait till Saturday night!

This may well tip the scales against the Lions and if so will be a talking point of contention for quite a while after the series ends.

I agree. Shame Warburton is injured as he's a great captain who does a lot for the morale of the team. I still think it will be close and of course hope the Wallabies came make it an historic series win. Best of luck to the Lions though, they are a very good side.

I believe warburton is not the best 7 in wales let alone the 4 nations and his form did not warrant selection, the irb appeal is probably because if you look at the footage it seems incomprehensible that he didnt tread on him on purpose.

So why is he on the squad as captain?

Clearly both IRB tribunals thought otherwise on Horwill. Read the article I linked to whcih explains the process and decisions of both. I watched the game live and there was absolutely no comment about it at the time it occured. Looking at the footage, I'd say he was rucking as he is allowed, but don't think it was definately a deliberate act. If you stick your head in a ruck, expect to get it kicked.
