All the All Blacks did was punch holes through our vulnerable defensive midfield. They didn't want to play anything close to an expansive game. Maybe next week with 15 they'll try but if we get ball in their 22 we are every bit as good as them. We had chances in the first test but spurned them...
That first 40 minutes was up there with maybe the best rugby I've ever seen. If The Lions had taken that chance at 13-8 then who knows. You can't chase games against the AB's late on.
Still great to watch though even though The Lions lost. Glad I subscribed. Pity you next season with the Albion if you can only stomach watching your side win.
It's the close quarter offloads that are amazing.
Obsessive box kicking from the Lions but when they need fluidity it's not there. They need to play strong Northern hemisphere rugby and get it back to the set piece and slow it down.
Being the total pessimist I am I've gone for 16-20 gap for the All Blacks at 8/1.
Of course I'm hoping but just can't see us winning. Would love it if we did.
