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

[GoTheNaki]

Pretty good try tho lol. But jesus cruden WHAT was that?

 

[ncurd]

We didn't butcher a chance......how the hell did that happen,

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Lovely! And to think some were saying Liam Williams wasn't nailed on for fullback once Hogg dropped out.

 

[dullonien]

Williams, Daly and Davies, all three did everything right there.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

I am just in shock that JD2 passed it to SOB. Nice one Foxy!!!!

 

[Maverick1987]

Ok hands up if in the last few weeks you have said the lions can't score great backs tries .....

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Another cynical hit on Murray, someone needs to have a word

 

[UlsterRugby2012]

Kruis needs to stop these stupid isolated runs ffs

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

I mean every knows Williams is a class 15, the only person who didn't was Gatland but he has now seen the light.

 

[munstermuffin]

Must say Gatland has got every call bar AWJ spit on but equally that may be right call too as Itoje still will have big role to play with his impact

 

[Truth]

Anyones game at the moment. Yes the ABs are putting in the better phases but the Lions are absorbing it. The only concern is the last 20mins for the Lions, with all that tackling it can zap a team. Great try from the Lions, highlight of the game.

Agreed. I feel after 50mins, Itoje is going to wreck some havoc.

 

[KeyboardWorrier]

Are the Lions trying?

I know I might be bias as I do think AWJ is past his best and being picked for experience is overrated. However I can see him making a mistake before Itoje comes on that will cost the lions. I'd get Itoje on now.

 

[GoTheNaki]

Cruden out of his depth.

Didn't catch the Scarlets Pro12 run-in then? Was superb in a very attacking orientated team.

I'v e been a big critic of his passing ability, but he knows how to make an outside break, his support running is good and imo he's the best defensive 13 out there. When he's playing well his passes seem to stick as well!

 

[Reiser99]

Phew...so anyway AB's edging the score and on top overall, but Lions making a fight of it. If they can tighten up a bit then this game is still anyone's to take.

 

[Groundhog]

"The blacklash". **** off Sky Sports no one likes you.

I'm still confident Gatland has made the right call ..... (now I'm off for a wash cos I feel dirty even saying that)

To be fair he's battling like the warrior he is. But fact we still in with a sniff and are coming in to game is great for us. BB gone out of 10 channel is good for us too
