[QUOTE="Jakedood, post: 861048, member: 72409"] Couldn't agree more.. the raw passion you could see from him on the sidelines, thats what we love to see in our Lions, it got me pumped up on the sofa, and he was all over the pitch when he came on... you actually started to notice, in fairness when Warburton came on too, that the All Blacks did stop getting quite such quick ball from the rucks, whether fatigue or not I don't know, but in the first half, it was seamless, barely even letting the ruck form, whereas there was an extra half second or second when those 2 were on the pitch. Either way, the stomach and fight in the forwards was drained from us, and Itoje, while I can understand the idea he may have been too hyped up to start, and been a risk in that sense, has shown actually his emotions are controlled and harnessed positively, and that kind of energy and abandonment can only inspire those around you [/QUOTE]
