The All Blacks game plan was incredible - watching them play is always like watching a one person team. They link up amazingly and constantly drive forward, exploiting mistakes.
Gutted about the result but when you're playing the All Blacks it's a different vibe.
The way they kept the ball going so fast in the tight exchange to tire the Lions defence! Sacrificed width early in the game knowing more likely than not it would open up. bloody brilliant.
Ollie Langdon I think the All Blacks will be kicking themselves tbh. They played the more effective game plan but they made a number of handling errors which gave the Lions a number of potential scoring opportunities. They will also be worried about the cover defence in those situations because the Lions asked a lot of questions tonight and probably should've scored at least one or two more tries
+Chris Jones - yeah, gotta agree with that. The Lions had a few good counter attacks but weren't clinical enough as the All Blacks cover came back. Looking forward to next week!
ABs will do better than this
The Lions played very well there was excellent defense from both sides. The level of Rugby was out of this world. The fastest, most skillful, and most physical game I have seen. It was a pleasure to watch.
An absolutely awesome Lions try. The usual supreme All Blacks performance. Excellent test, more of the same next week please lads!
I have to say as an All Blacks fan, well done the Lions. The score doesn't reflect how well the Lions played for the first 55 minutes, playing great counter attack rugby but were unlucky not to score some. Williams, Te'o, Murray and Davies were playing out of there minds. But just like the match against Samoa, the flood gates open up and more tries came through from brilliant attack from the All Blacks. Can't wait for the next test match because this test match was entertaining.
timbojoneso ....Unfortunately they only turn up for the 1st 55 minutes and the match is 80 minutes long...no hate intended but i feel you.
Meh. Rubbish, ABS were rusty and still won easily.
The difference with the All Blacks is if they create chances to score a try they will take them. Blacks had 3 chances to score and scored three times. Lions had 5 chances to score and took two. That's the difference. From the Lions point of view, two of the tries were very soft - one and three - and should not be conceded at this level.
ABS had more than 3 chances. That is just a line media came up with to make it appear Lions played better. Both pens kicked in 1st half were right in front of posts. ABS could've scored tries in lead up to pens on both occasions.
3 tries to two is not winning easily and the scoreline does not reflect the closeness of the game. Well done to the All Blacks but it was not an easy win.
Big Bruiser Brodie Retalick is a machine
He's a monster created in a lab by mad rugby scientists.
Danny Tanner his work rate is not human
yes he had a strong game
never seen a lock do the workload Brodie does every game!
he just plays 80min non stop, he must be the fittest guy in the team maybe world rugby lol
Bloody hell Ioane's got a pair of sweet feet. He just looks like he's loping when he's actually fuggin smokin'
Made Daly look bad on that last try.
Waiting for that one lions supporter who kept commenting lions were going to destroy the all blacks....
Bahahaha something about 3-0 eh?
it's Adam
and the other one who said Connor is the best half back in the world.you need more than a box kick to be the best half back let alone beating the best team in world rugby. In that case AS is the full package .
Vesi Tagoiaega yeah he was saying that to me last night wyat something was his name
& Justin Marshall is gay at commentary he should retire g
Lions did provide a good challenge - their first try was a beaut and the second shows they were in the game until the end. The ABs chose to play them at their own game of tight forward phases while preventing the Lions from doing so and it did the trick.
Kolby and the Lions threw the ball around a lot more than I expected too, good on them. A bit more accuracy and it would have been a lot tighter.
Best wishes to Ben Smith and Crotty, hope they recover swiftly
I think the main problem for them is that they were confronted with said ABs tight forward tactics so they were forced to shift into back play, which they would not have prepared as much for. So of course that ended up being very rusty for them. I have no doubt next week's game style will be different for both teams so who knows what will happen.
Hansen outsmarted them
main problem for the rest of the rugby playing nations you make a small error the all blacks will punish you, was a good test match, looking forward to next week.Well done all black world class
The last 3 series the Lions have seriously performed. For being a team that does not play together much and play extremely well againtst the Boks Aussies and All Blacks is brilliant. From a Bok fan
Lions were very competitive for a good sixty but that's when the ABs really switch on! Lions last try was a signal they are willing to stick in it, hopefully they remain this competitive throughout the rest of the series.
I'd be honest, I didnt expect the Lions to put up such a contest in the first half, really exciting rugby that I have not seen in awhile.
zephanish agreed, very impressed. A little more accuracy and who knows!
I totally expected it what worried me was last quarter where ABs typically put teams away.
Hard luck BIL. great game blacks! all black everything.
yea champ!
Thats us brothers!
Joseph Parker - ParkerBOX
Joe Parker to unify the heavyweight division!
Obriens try is one of the best I've ever seen. Never get tired of watching it
Kiwi here, I come back and watch that try from time to time...beautiful
No 13 gets up to no celebration and almost scored. How frustrating. Obrien right place right time
Waiting 4 Adam....
haha Conor Murray in the first clip would've made it over the line if Aaron Smiths shorter legs weren't moving like pistons
great foot tap
lrresistable bae Love that simile mate! 😂
lrresistable bae 6
I'm
Wow...Rieko just outpaced those lions for the second try...glad he took his chance. 😎 ried, cane and especially retallick absolutely massive. and a huge hat tip jaco peyper....great performance.
Jose Ji agreed. Never been much of a Cane fan but he had an excellent game tonight. Incredible that Read could play like that after virtually no rugby all year. Incredible that Retallick can play so hard, so dominant, so well, so often. A Smith also getting back to his best. Good to see SBW getting involved so much, & just crunching it up sometimes. Hit a lot of rucks too.
Any other AB in Ioane's position (except maybe Dagg?) would've struggled to score that try, he's way faster than I realised. Good head on him too, high work rate
rukaks Retallick is just a beast...the ferocity with which he was running and smashing around even at the end of the game after that huge workload. Also agree on Read...just incredible...he truly lead from the front.
And Ben Smith....don't label me an armchair coach or doctor or whatever....but I want him to retire. So many concussions in such a short time just can't be healthy. Brilliant player and leader for the AB's and Highlanders...I hope the best for the guy.💪
Jose Ji yes I'm also a fan of taking it slow and being sure that they're ok before throwing them back out there. Hope he's ok, but if he's not, let him be
Well played All Blacks. You guys deserved the win today. Hope the Lions win the 2nd test and then we have a big finale.
another headstone for eden cemetery...great game tho.
The Lions played a bloody good game, but the All Blacks showed you just have to take your chances against the top teams and the All Blacks did just that!
That welsh centre is damn good player. He wouldn't look out of place if he was in the ABs
Awesome game,retallick and read were outstanding,lions played a awesome game,one of the tries of the year,bit to many box kicks should of held the ball,can't wait for next week.
I'm a Lions fan, but you just have to admire this All Blacks team. Kieran Reid is perhaps the best No. 8 I have ever seen. He is robust, powerful, has great workrate, hands and decision making. He is incredible. This game did not unfold like I thought it would. I thought the Lions would edge it up front but that the All Blacks would score tries out wide and take their chances. To see the possession and territory stats being so lop sided and get beaten up front is worrying for the Lions. I'd perhaps get Itoje on for new week as a starter. Well done the All Blacks! The Lions must win next week....can they? I always thought this series would be 2-1 to the All Blacks with the game going to the last test. We shall see. Sometimes when teams have to win, they do.
to come off such a long injury break and put in a shift like that puts him up with the best. Lions try was quality tho! full field brilliance, but having to tackle for 20mins killed there attack thereafter..
from now on i will call GREAT NEW ZEALAND because they are VIVA VIVA VIVA THE MIGHTY ALL BLACKS always GREAT from a kiwicypriot who loves rugby and loves the best country on earth ALL BLACKS FOR EVER
Diamandis Thrasyvoulou ..ALL BLACKS FOR EVER..
Brodie Retallick was man of the match imo, idk who was for the game. And Keiran Reid's pass to Smith after that scrum in the 2nd half to set up the try was insane.
Some of the commentators were saying Cane but would have gone with Retallick.
Physically dominated the middle of the field along with Read and Kaino.
Ben A I agree Ben. I haven't always been sold on Cane but last night was one of the best tactical games I've ever seen from him in an All Blacks jersey. One or two of his hit ups look pretty weak but aside from that he was on excellent form.
The Lions are great to watch this year
so great to see R. Ioane keep his head and take those opportunities! didn't have to field as many high kicks as he might have but Izzy Dagg was taking them beautifully on both sides of the field! their performance bodes well for a 3-0 victory but not for Julian Savea taking the record of Dougie Howlett
I know it's not the All Black way to put personal achievement before the team but i really want the bus to break the record. Hoping management can chuck him on in the Rugby Championship. Besides i think he still has a few stunning games left in him
Hansen's questionable change on the left wing paid off well
😇😊😀😁😄😘😚😍💑💏👪😻👧👰🎅👸💇👼👱👫💗💖💜💛💛💚💙💛🌞⛄❄🌈🌁🌑🌒🌓🌔 🐩🐀🐱🐺🐔🐇🎨🎪🎠🎢🎡🎂🎆🎇
All black supporter here, but you got to admit though the lions played a very good game here. Few try opportunities missed that could've made them win or even the score 32-32 who knows but they did real well, glad the all blacks won though :D so I'm looking forward to the next match :)
Kaino, please be okay
They did say he was clear from the concussion test.
archvermin he was awesome
With Savea they didn't miss a beat.
archvermin kainos the man, he'll be right
Credit to the Lions for making this a proper game. Been too long since NZ were actually challenged.
Hope ben will get the ok for next test... Crotty too... Glad i could watch the game... Good luck abs!
Where's old geezer Adam when you need him? BIL vs AB 3-0, yeah right!!!
tell me about almost every game lions had Adam kept saying BIL beat ABs 3-0😑😑😑😑 like see what he has to say now 😂😂😂😂
Ryan Beatson Johan marais is another one of them bil 3-0 people
lions supporters gone quiet aye. too busy sucking their sorrows away in a public bathroom.
He's a troll bro!!, Adam is a little kid that plays spacey games Lol...Chek his uploads
All blacks too good in the tight but how bloody good was that try. Best try scored against us in a while. They created many opportunities but ultimately didn't convert enough of them. I still say that Itoje + Warburton (your tour captain) need to start especially Itoje. No point bringing them on for impact when your already losing by 20. The good thing is the lions were in the match for 60+ minutes. The bad news is this All Blacks team lost their starting fullback and centre after 20 minutes and the lions couldn't take full advantage of it and still got comprehensively beaten.
See Kieran Reed STUFF the fly half at ~ 43:00.....! Best tackle for sure !
That first try from the BL was a fucking awesome return
Good Physical game from both teams. Once again AB still remains unbeaten!
Taylor did bloody well to grab that bootlaces pass from Dagg and score in the corner.
The All Blacks. Best sporting team on Earth!
Adam gone watchin State of Origin
Lions had me pretty damn nervous for a while there. Don't think the ABs are used to teams scoring tries against them like that Williams break. Throwing it around, running it. Great game, hope the Lions still have a few tricks in the bag for the second test. Almost feel they let this one slip out their hands in a way.
my team for 2nd test if smith and crotty are out with injury

Reserves
16. Nathan Harris
17. Wyatt Crockett
18. Charlie Faumuina
19. Scott Barrett
20. Vaea Fifita
21. TJ Perenara
22. Aaron Cruden
23. Ngani Laumape
jared leo Only problem there is that Julian is vulnerable under the high ball and the Lions know it. They will be kicking down his wing all night the way they did with Dagg in this test.
I'd also have Sopoaga over Cruden based on tonight's performance. Cruden just didn't have the size to be an effective attacking option against a very tight and formidable Lions defence.
Other than that I like your pick
jared leo that should definitely be the team for next Saturday
if smith injured who would you have at fullback and wing? and i think il stick with cruden because the guy can slice thru gaps and is one of the best offloaders in world rugby, see that skip out pass to ioane to score that try, thats the same pass he used to beat ireland in overtime to win the match, i think he has a cooler head, but its great to hear someone else opinion
I'll drop Laumape and put Jordie on the bench, only because he covers more positions.
You left out Kaino. Jordie Barrett would be my 23 as well
rieko ioane absolutely amazing, legend he is
Awesome from both teams, Jonathan Davies poking holes in the defence and Barrett unstoppable as usual. Liam Williams running all over the show and Brody Retallick (not sure how to spell it) was awesome in the rucks. Exciting game, that's from a lions fan.
Very well played both teams AND THE REFEREE/OFFICIALS. International Rugby at its finest. Exciting tries on both sides.
2017 Rieko Ioane was 🔥🔥🔥
Tonight we just witnessed The Lions beat the all blacks 24-21 I'm a all black supporter but the way the lions played tonight it was a well deserved win I must say. Congrats to the lions 🦁
The All Blacks forwards were on point last night!!! Awesome win boys!!!! #ALLBLACKEVERYTHING
It's a great resource to have when we lose quality players to injury, we can replace them with confidence. The mighty Allblacks, who is good enough to challenge them. I believe once again world rugby is trembling in fear... This unit is unstoppable
The pass from Read to Aaron Smith was superb....
what awesome weekend ABs won the first test match against the lions some awesome defence from both teams and fortunatelly ABz come away with the win . And also the NRL Warriors with a win against the dogs (clink and cheers skull ya beers)
Superb try by the Lions at 35mins!
3:57 - Lions absolutely butcher an overlap and try. That's the difference. The All Blacks would have passed out long accurate passes there and put their player over in the corner - letting the ball do the work.....Teo steps back inside (the worst decision) and falls over.
Well that is what happens when you play a center with zero ball skills and need to crash into everything he sees.
xpat if they had let the ball do the work then in that instance the ball would have been passed through one of the locks in the centre which would have held the defence.The long pass allowed the AB defenders to drift.
xpat73 in fairness to Te'o the pitch seemed pretty wet as it was raining. But yeah, that was a spurned try pretty much
xpat73 drop him and see how the the other Lions 12/13 gonna beat the all blacks center i though he was playing great defense just that last pass kill his night..i can't wait to see what happen if you guys drop him out of the match 23 because the all blacks centers are the best offloading compo on earth so goodluck finding that someone who could defend like Te'o in that channel
Ioane's first try in this match👌👌
ioane kind of reminds you of Joe the rocket man
Great game of rugby.
wowee. gota play 80 min plus to beat the mighty allblacks
Yo kieran read and rieko ioane had outstanding games
@ 4.08 Tackle of the century. Wow!
The reason our players beat their players is that our players are just better than theirs overall. Particularly our fords, but also our backs tend to have a more complete skill set. Hence, without a superior game plan we win. With one, we crush.
I want to see BIL vs Scotland
You Tube 😂😂😂
the lions have nothing to be ashamed of, Im an abs supporter
ray aye I
AB FORWARDS ARE BEAST !!! #ALLBLACKS4LIFE
All blacks just amazing speed power
Good first up win by the boys. I knew the Lions will show up they will bring the same intensity in the second test but guess what so will the ABs.
an good performance by the Lions...hats off to ABs...
great try by lions,but ABs will be more cohesive after this hitout
AB's playing second game of the season. Lions on game 7. You can draw your own conclusions, but here's hoping the next two matches live up to this one.
Much love from NZ Adam
That is beautiful game
Where's that 3-0 to the Lions Adam fella? :)..what a pickup from Codie Taylor to score a try. A hooker picking up the ball from his feet. Simply wow. Couldn't believe my eyes when the Lions scored that try from a counter attack, sublime moves from Liam Williams & co. Amazing! Hang on isn't that the All Blacks trick?Despite being dominated up front the Lions were in it for alot of the game and if they had of been more ruthless in their finishing the game could have been different. Thoroughly enjoyed this game. Kieran Read, Brodie Retallick just machines.
at 1:31 its clearly a forward pass,. The pitch markings make it clear to see.
All Blacks surely got behind the Lions defensive line, thanks to Brodie the Dinosaur T-RETALLICK smashing his way through like a T-REX! Moody, Taylor & Frankie boy had a solid game. Our loose forwards Kaino, Cane and Captain Read doing what they BEST.. Aaron the NINJA Smith back to his best. Sonny Bill running straight at them, I'm sure he was feeling the pain, getting crunch. Dagg was awesome.. And Reiko Ioane! man, the BLUES EXPRESS!!! The BUS will be parked up for now Julian Savea.
very good game
I guess the Lions can take away the fact they scored the best try last night even though they lost. Had All Blacks written all over that try.
Adam are you not entertained
lol
Damn when you got a Hooker on the Wing and with hands like that you know your team is about to get fked haha
WTF was Daly doing? He moved inside to "help" Teo and left Hooker all alone.
Jesse M he was probs scared
👍👍👍ABs👌👌👌 well done boys. 2 more to go
Oldman Adam died of cardiac arrest.
Serves the lions right for being big headed and fielding half their reserves.
So many Lions fans in New Zealand
54 min performance by the Lions.They did well to make a game of it,but to much class from the All Blacks.The Lions got smashed in the forward battle ,Brodie Retallick aka Gregor Clegane once again showing he is without a doubt to best second rower in international rugby.
Has anyone noticed the blatant obstruction by the forwards for that Webb try?
Rieko ioane is the bro g he is so fast
I keep thinking that George Bridge is gonna be kicking Ioane out of the 11 shirt, but holy shit is Reiko Ioane fast. The acceleration he has is something else. Still hot competition for the kiwi wingers.
I'll never understand why British Lions supporters always cheer and applaud, despite losing. British mentality.
Sean O'Brien's try, try of the year by far!!!
There is still plenty of good tries to come, but I have too agree that try was something magnificent!
Try of the game for sure.
dont get me wrong i love Kieran reads game and he is a good player but i miss richies leader ship when i saw read with his hands on his knees and smith had the ball looking to tap and go thats one thing richie made sure he never did he would always be up and never show tiredness as a player thats what motivates you to work that bit harder...
He was leaning down to talk to Smith, lol.
SINISTER KILL I thought Read played the part brilliantly for the try, Read looked as if he was pointing to the post, but actually he was instructing Smith to make the quick tap. He fooled everyone.
Suren Demel took a closer look. It does look like Kieran Read instructed Aaron Smith to take the quick tap. That's amazing
Having watched the full game, the ref did miss about 5 forward passes by the All Blacks.
Where?
Lions just weren't clinical with their finishing, work to be done for next week, but it was never going to be easy dealing with the kiwis tempo
The Lions bombed two tries. The score doesn't reflect how well they played. They could have won that game with better finishing. From an ABs supporter.
We got this!
that first try by lions, Sonny wiliams was impeded by a lions player #12 as he went to tackle liam williams,#12 actually blocked Sonny williams,watch as #12 checks Sonny as Sonny turns to tackle Liam
Even if the brits didn't get it, the All Blacks still are the best unit of the world.
Hope the Lions will improve in the next tests. The blacks feed themselves with every mistake
That Ioane kid played well
All blacks won, lost, then tied.
Highlanders won.
Obviously they weren’t facing the best possible lions team tho
At 2:58 it looks like 12 is obstructed from making the tackle.
The fuck is Adam when you need him?!?! 3-0 Lions!!
Rugby is a nice sport
no one from lions was prepared for how NZ disrupt play...
Before the AB supporters get to carried away. This is not an international test match it's a scratch team of four nations playing against the best team in the world at the moment. A truer comparison between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres would be the international test matches this year . Looking at the latest series of results the North are slightly ahead.
My unbiased answer the Lions winning the next test is to get a bit more Welsh magic into the match day squad.
timothy phillips where were those northern hemisphere sides 2 years ago @ the World Cup on their home ground???
..at the bars watching the Southern Hemisphere sides in the Finals lol
Totally different ABs once Warburton came on. ABs recycle time increased massively once he made a nuisance of himself at the ruck. Should have started.
