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

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Jordie v Faz

NO Beaudan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[TopTen2003]

If he series is 1-1 after 3 tests, there should be a 4th.

What a test series.

 

[TommiG88]

Maro has proved to be the best player in the world today.

 

[Muzzy]

Ah man kind of a let down to have it drawn, feels like a loss. Oh well.

Perhaps time to give the kicking duties to Jordie? Jordie was quite brilliant, perhaps time for Ben Smith to move over. I would also like to see Lima Sopoaga finally get a start this year as well.

 

[Nubiwan]

Two stupid penaltys in a row from the ref. Lions prop angling in the scrum. Then the halfback deliberately knocks the ball on pretending the All Blacks player was in his way. Somehow this is a penalty? Just like last week.

Yes, we never see NZ half backs milk offside pens like that.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Jordie v Faz

Hansen clearly disagreees.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Lions to win 15-6

Closish.

 

[KeyboardWorrier]

Read the rules: penalties count as well. Not Lions fault that ABs haven't got a 80% international kicker. BB left so many points out there in the 2nd and 3rd tests; kicks missed in front of post.

No they don't. If you have to rely on penalties, you're not a proper Rugby team.

Everyone knows this.

Great series, fair result. Would of liked the victory of course but think the teams are very even and the series result reflects that.

*Queue Kiwi's blaming the referee........ Again......

 

[Nubiwan]

World class athletes playing at a u13 level.

Terrible rugby display from both sides. Tells us absolutely nothing in the end. We was robbed. All of us.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

We'd all have taken this before the series started. Well done Lions.

There will be a couple of countries thinking that RWC 19 has just opened up a little bit.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

No they don't. If you have to rely on penalties, you're not a proper Rugby team.

Everyone knows this.

So NZ not a proper rugby team? Last week all their points came from pens.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

8-7 Lions, NZ choke like the RWC 2011 Final, Poite isn't their star player a la Joubert.

*Watches chaos take over forum*

Get on my level @Tigs Man

 

[Reiser99]

'No matter what your allegiance you must be satisfied this result'...NO!

 

[Penne Rara]

Great series, fair result. Would of liked the victory of course but think the teams are very even and the series result reflects that.

Very true, we've got to hand it to the Lions. Today, they were the All Blacks equals.

But a draw is cruel, it's actually worse than losing

 

[Truth]

Its a real shame NZ aren't playing any decent proper international side this this year.

You can say the same for England. We beaten England a LOT. Just remember that. I love to educate too lol.

 

[BobbyM]

Referee choked. Plain and simple

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Andy Farrell has NZ sussed.

Also Johnny Sex 2.5 - Beauden 1.5, who's your daddy golden boy?!!

 

[87Dreamer]

As Waikato a boy, I'm happy for Gats. Proved his doubters wrong imo.
I know some of you NH boys might disagree, but he came within inches from doing what many thought was impossible.
