FANS were “driven berserk” by Sky Sports’ major technical glitch during the British & Irish Lions’ First Test against Australia.
After a massively successful warm-up campaign Down Under, viewers were excited for the main event.

But Lions supporters tuning into Sky Sports were left “infuriated”.
That’s because the commentary appeared to be a second or two AHEAD of the pictures on screen.
And fans just couldn’t focus on the action as they were left tearing their hair out.
Taking to X, one fumed: “The Sky commentary is a fraction of a second ahead of the footage and it is driving me berserk.”
Another said: “Lions commentary on sky is slightly ahead of the pictures and it is infuriating.”
A third wrote: “”@SkySports the commentary on the Lions game is ahead of the action. Fix it!”
Nevertheless, Lions supporters did have something to cheer about as they went on to secure a dominant 27-19 victory.
Finn Russell fired over a penalty to give the tourists a 3-0 lead in the FIRST minute of the match.

Sione Tuipulotu grabbed the Lions’ first try of the Test just seven minutes later, before Russell completed the conversion.
Max Jorgensen looked to claw the hosts back into it with a try of his own, before Tom Lynagh missed the conversion.
Minutes before half-time, Tom Curry went over the line and Russell added a further two points.
The visitors went into the half-time break 17-5 up and completely in control.
And the Lions got off to the perfect start to the second half as Sheehan grabbed another try in the opening minute of the second 40, with Russell again converting.
Carlo Tizzano went over for the Aussies with a little over ten minutes remaining – before Ben Donaldson’s kick tacked on two extra points to reduce the deficit to 12-24.
Marcus Smith appeared to put the match to bed as his penalty made it 27-12 to the tourists.
Tate McDermott’s converted try at least kept things interesting with two minutes to go.
But the eight point deficit proved impossible to overcome as the Lions sealed victory in the First Test, running out 27-19 winners.
