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

[Truth]

Damn I wish we played the All Blacks this Summer. Would fancy our chances. Drawn series is a good result but so bittersweet anti climactic

You reckon you would've beaten the All Blacks again to make it TWO wins? The BIG TWO?

 

[KeyboardWorrier]

Haha, so had ABs won with the penalty that was reversed because it was ruled as accidental offside, then it would still be a draw because it would not have counted. Pull the other one.

Fact is ABs did not win the series and only have themselves to blame. Lions were supposed to get annihilated this week with 15 v 15, but ABs still couldn't put them away.

I didn't read what you wrote, but yes everyone knows that No Try = No Score.

It's pretty basic... or is it?

This game is going to be an odd one.

IMO comment of the game. Best prediction out there. Thanks poite.

NO ONE DENIES THIS.

Except for you.

That's so awkward.

Well you go figure it out and come back when have done. Maybe in your fantasy world only tries count, but BB still missed a conversion, so I guess they don't count either on your planet.

Referee choked. Plain and simple

It was a pen. Not given.

Not sure what conversation went on to change his mind. He'd given the pen, TMO seemed to agree, then he changed his mind all on his own. Owens clearly knew he'd cocked it up. If I never knew better, I think the ref sympathized with the Lions and felt a draw was the best outcome. Barrett would likely have missed any way.

As correct as the refs decision was last week, it was wholly incorrect this week.

Fair result for the series.

Such a weird image, Gatland's pretend smile is freaky and the music is like a kind of sand ending to a disney movie.

It's a 'Try' you illiterate potato.

Except for you.

Just woke up, what was the score? Did the All Blacks run away with it?

Feeble

I have no idea what you are going on about. Test series drawn, get over it.

What is accidental offside if not that? The player instinctively catches the ball as it falls their way there was zero intent to cause a penalty or be offside with the ball.

England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland have improved since the last RWC. For years its been the SH that were the top 3 in rugby. Now that the Lions countries are good, I knew this Lions team would be the hardest, probably the best ever assembled. I thought the Lions would win this series, I never posted it or even said it but I knew it would be tough for the All Blacks. We did well to prevent a loss from the finest of the in form nations.

My top 5 best teams in the world right now.

1. All Blacks - Lions
2. Ireland
3. England
4. Wales
5. Scotland

Yes, they ran away with the 'how to be complete lethargic retards' award.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

This thread is gonna have so many hot takes I'm gonna be like a dope addict on withdrawal in a week... I need the anger.

 

[UlsterRugby2012]

Tell ya what, after seeing these English lads, if they get a 7 and 15 I reckon it's their RWC to lose.

Itoje or JD for player of the tour for me?

Did you win the series?
