We are hanging in there. So difficult to deal with with the ABs quick offloading, they just don't drop it. Need to keep the ball more.

what a brilliant try, really good 1st half, think nz should be ahead by more with territory they've had, wonder if all the hard work the lions have put in takes its toll in the last 15-20

I wonder whether being forced to go to the bench early will make a difference for the Lions. Totally devasted by that Ben Smith concussion

Pathetic refereeing

comment by Neo- I like my men dark and big, I love it when they drill my batty like an off shore oil rig. Mamba is the name of my current lover, he's listed as straight so I hope I haven't blown his cover. (U9135)

Not talking about Reads.

The scrum before which lead to the penalty advantage, when Daley was away. Bizarrely the ref let the all blacks off.

Inconsequential now but a big moment.

good night, ioane proved Hansen right again, electric pace guys gonna be immense, thought this would be close just because the lions were battle hardened but just shows the diff between the club and national nz team

Hansen is always right mate. I thought he and his brother weren't ready after watching this year's Super Rugby but he's put me in my place

the lions players are like a bunch of 5 year olds at the lineout screaming and shouting

They did say before the game that they would do it to disrupt the NZ line out

no dominance at the scrum for the lions, if they didn't get that right they weren't going to kick their penalties

now all we will hear until next week is how the lions will take that try to build on, after this game I fully expect nz to cut loose next week and win big

I was laughing before the series when people suggested they would smash the AB scrum. They clearly didn't watch the AB last year as it was a strong point last year even the reserves were amazing.

Lions incredibly disappointing at the break down. Didn't slow down Aaron Smiths quick ball by a single microsecond.

I seriously doubt that tbh. The Lions showed a lot of good stuff

Kruis was probably the worst player on the pitch today. Pretty poor.

Aaron Smith on the other hand, jeez the way he got play go from 0-100 in a blink of an eye for Reiko's first try in incredible. Anyone who doubted him last year is crazy. He is THE best 9 in the world, no doubt
