Test Match 3: All Blacks v British & Irish Lions (Auckland)

[Bada-Bing!]

Penalty again; come on slot this to level it.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Thing is both touch judges are refs in their own right who have been in charge of a test and are in line with the play. I don't see much difference between being on the side or in the middle.

So, clear and obvious is even more of a goal for ARs than it is for referees.

First of all, ARs first responsibility is touch.
Second is foul play.
Third is things that you are asked by the ref to take care of. They should only be calling in forward passes if they are asked if that particular pass was forward.

Game on!

High really? Didn't even touch his head, all shoulder

Seat belt tackle, they call it all the time in club rugby up here.
I don't like it, but anything over the shoulder gets called high, whether you get the head/neck or not

 

[munstermuffin]

Have Lions even looked like threatening the NZ try line

 

[ncurd]

We don't deserve to win This,

I hate Gatland,

Why do I hope?

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

12 all with 20 to go - as the commentators said who wouldn't have taken that?

 

[TommiG88]

Can't believe we are drawing. We have not been good haha

 

[Reiser99]

Please, please, please Gatland use the Bench!!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Throwing the kitchen Sinck at them

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

The All-Blacks really know how to do restarts.

 

[ncurd]

Terrible refing at the scrum...

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Sexton is Beauden Barrett's nightmare.

 

[Reiser99]

Te'o on for Faz, Webb on for Murray and possibly Nowell on for Daly. Some of these guys are exhausted, throw everything.

 

[ncurd]

Knock on?

 

[Truth]

Lions always losing it when they're hot.

Best of the best right here. Awesome game.

 

[KeyboardWorrier]

If the Lions win this and don't Try, it doesn't count. So far, IMO, they have zero points on the board.

Would you have said that last week if NZ scraped a victory with kicking?

 

[Bluemoon]

Great scrum by The Sink

We are so frustrating in the 22. Blown out opportunities in the key areas
