Test Match 1: All Blacks v British & Irish Lions (Auckland)

It is worth noting that barring some magic from Liam Williams the Lions would have 3 points, despite the ABs suffering injury and having to rejigg defensively.

It's been encouraging from the Lions at times but there is a gulf in quality in the selected players and in the coaching. Gatland should have used every tour match to experiment with attacking combinations and expansive back play. You can't just trudge along on the tour and try to switch to attacking rugby at the first test.
 
What is with All Black debutants on and tries on debut. It seems to always happen with debutant backs.
 
Its mad to see how basic skills we can't produce under pressure. Sexton and Farrell with embarrassing passing.
 
The last 20 minutes, so far, has seen nothing really from a very good Lions side.
