Why the hell would you kick that away 3 points down, 1 minute to go. Dumb.

I beg to differ unusually, I think they have created problems.

Great comeback, if they hang on a great result 14 notwithstanding

It's not exactly notwithstanding though

Cruden Ian such a tool, he's gone massively backwards.

Ref made a good start with giving red card to SBW.

But then he totaly blew the game.

replacement props for the Lions have piled the pressure onto NZ, and a NZ pack that must be blowing

Ah well. At least we can now get a lesson, as arrogant fans, in how humble fans humbly accept a win.

Cruden's cross kick was not at all on so have no idea what the thinking was there -- if indeed there was any.

Regardless, well done to the Lions.

Phew!! Lions! Lions! Lions!

Sorry but ref blew it..

if you have the guts to give a red card at the 20th minute, you should do so at 60th as well.
And lets not talk about swinging arms..

Banquo · Post by **Banquo** » Sat Jul 01, 2017 10:27 am

Well, I was wrong on unhappiness with selection, looking at scoreboard. Reffing played a massive part, but I'll take it.

Mother of pumpings coming next week...

Hush, let us enjoy one for a change. You'll get your revenge next time!

Well I love the scenes, I love the fact the series is level.

But sorry, that was farcical.

Shoulder to the head for one team is a red, a yellow for the other.

11 penalties in their own half without even a warning, it's impossible to score in those conditions if the opposition can just infringe.

And then a penalty for taking a player in the air because he decided to jump for a pass?

Please. The winner here was Gatland, his pressure in the press worked and the Frenchman, as they do, surrendered like a little bitch.

Good luck for next week, hopefully it's an actual contest.

They made hard work of a game that the should have controlled. What would the result have been if it was all blacks with the man advantage for that long. Well done lions but everything was in their favour.

Cruden......come on bro...

Can't remember which pundit it was but suggestion was to ban players jumping. Sounds draconian, but penalising players for not being psychic is bonkers.

yep, as I said, I think they went early with their subs.

Gracious from Read. A true pro.

MerryCherry · Post by **MerryCherry** » Sat Jul 01, 2017 10:30 am

Thank you Kieran Read for saying the Lions were better, but I think we know with SBW it would've been different. Respect!
