I was a bit worried that Donut may have missed this game. I know how much of a rugby fan he is! So I thought I would do the right thing and post the game summary here.
Wallabies strike back as Lions sleep tonight
Australia have squared the series after a stirring second half comeback to defeat the Lions 35-14 in what is a record scoreline for the home side. Trailing 11-6 at the break, and lucky to be only six points in arrears, the Wallabies score 29 points to three in the second half with an inspiring backs to the wall performance. Two tries to winger Joe Roff and another to fullback Matt Burke cancelled out Lions flanker Neil Back's first half effort. Lions flyhalf Jonny Wilkinson had a night to forget - throwing the pass that Roff intercepted to score his first try in the opening minute of the second half, before being stretchered off with a serious knee injury in the dying moments. Apart from Wilkinson, three other Lions - Richard Hill, Robert Howley and Brian O'Driscoll - have gone to hospital suffering serious injuries with all four in doubt for the third Test at Stadium Australia on July 14.
I hope that the injuries aren't serious. It would really make for a spectacle in Sydney if the Lions can put their best 15 on the paddock for Australia to roll over them. That way no excuses!
I've got to go and watch England getting smashed in the Ashes now
but I'll be back to check if Donut's arrived. Looks like the English weather may have a say yet.
