[QUOTE="Caitlyn Jenner, post: 862886, member: 74470"] First game we lose at home in 8 years, and I have to be there to see it... lol. I was a bit disappointed by the manner in which we played. Despite the conditions and no SBW, I thought we could've and should've looked to do more with the ball. We seemed 1-dimensional. Ioane was really quiet, and watching him a bit, he didn't look for work enough. If Savea had put in that performance people would be tearing into him for it calling him lazy. I hope Savea gets a chance to prove himself in the 11 jersey next week. With SBW and Crotty out we're left with Laumape and ALB... a combo I suggested months ago may well end up together in the ABs this year, and was laughed at! I'm excited at the prospect of those two together... while they're un-tried and it will be a risk, imo their games complement each other beautifully, similar to the Nonu/Smith Combo, and could work wonders. Credit to the Lions. While I don't think you outplayed us by any means, you did what you had to and beat the ABs at home and leveled the series. That is not an achievement that should be taken lightly, regardless of the circumstances. Congrats! Gotta say too that the Lions fans were amazing. I was right next to the massive group of them that filled up one end of the stadium, and could barely here myself think at times. Awesome atmosphere, something you never otherwise get to experience in NZ. Bring on the 3rd test, expecting a big blacklash! [/QUOTE]
