I'm a kiwi boy lol....14men on the field to hold up the defence well done abs and well done lions either way if any other team can hold up the defense is not easy so solid abs
La Lonesko, the ABs just need to work out how to break a flat defense, something they have failed to do so far, regardless of the first test win. We certainly did well to nearly pull off a win with just 14 on the field!.
J L Sky Media change sbw put reiko in number 12 simple dagg boy in 14 saki in 11 .....hansen always always keeps his cool .....abs to finish the 3rd test on a tough match
rmstew we need to keep the 15 men in the abs .....3rd test I'll be waiting ....reals if abs loose the 3rd test that I know they won't then as kiwis we will be humble about our defeat ......Lions need to win a series to win it abs have won all matches in the modern ages 3time champs it's still a mild stone
All Blacks are an immense, powerful and skillful team, they really showed desire and unbelievable ability after being reduced to 14 men. The Lions also showed amazing desire at times and fought back when most teams would have folded, it sets up the finale that everyone wants to see. The All Blacks will be favorites and as a Brit I want the Lions to give their all on Saturday and we should see some game.
Were you saying that after the 1st test? Honestly, they were within 5 mins of losing to 14. Their "expansive" game is only out of desperation as playing through the forwards and rush defence didn't work in the 1st test. Interesting game this weekend tho - expecting an AB backlash
Welshwizardtruther ur all fukn shit u muppet,they jst won with 15 men vs 14,tha abz will show at eden park that u got ur head too far up ur fuken ass mate,wait n c dikhead,a backlash is already brewing
how do u improve wen you lose to ab with 15 players then just beat the ab with 14 playing the next week. but on the other hand lions played very well same with ab
all blacks played as well as they could with 14 men sunny was unlucky it was his first tackle should have been a yellow not red think the ref was crap.
Thought a yellow would be fair but i can also see a case for red card. I was more disappointed with the refs inconsistency when Mako V had commited a similar offence but only got a yellow. Refs really need to be consistent..
AB's loose in Wellington. Don't lead with the shoulder, cameras everywhere. You lost because your player got sent off. Dirty play will cost you a game. So a bit of discipline is required, he knew what he was doing. 'Watson is fast and a threat, nail the bloke early', possibly the words spoken in the NZ dressing room before the game. Well the fella took to the field with these words echoing in his head. Officials are cleaning up the game. The results of serious concussion are prevalent and players need to understand that. That's why you lost the game.You were a man down, this player let you down, and cost you the game.
Derek Bradbury well in SBW defense he would have been playing on the other side if he led into the tackle with his arms, he would have tackled Savea more so than on Watson...hahaha!!!!
The point I'm making is the serious concussion injuries which over a playing career can lead to neurological problems later. It's a rough and tough game, but he deliberately targeted Watson's head. Just watch the slow motion. Anyway it's set for the decider. So let's hope it's a clean game.
Derek Bradbury - I agree, totally with what you have said. So, in that tone, it would seem fitting that Sean O'Brien should have got a red card too!!! And Mako should have got a yellow card!!! As you say, dirty play!!! But, well done Lions for beating an All Blacks Team with only 14 men for 55 minutes. I mean, how many teams in the world could have beaten the All Blacks with only 14 men for 55 minutes. Oh, did I mention that Sean O'Brien has been sighted and is facing the adjudicating process because it was deem at minimum a red card - which he didn't get in the game.
You are a fair in your comments. For a small population you dominate the world in rugby. Britain has so many sports which athletes are world champions. This is because of the funding from the national lottery. We pour millions into sport. Just so we can brag in the press about our national heroes. But only when they are winners!

Good on yas
the lion's are playing well enuff to win the series, their defence is solid and they're playing an expansive game.

how do u improve wen you lose to ab with 15 players then just beat the ab with 14 playing the next week. but on the other hand lions played very well same with ab
Is it true that Keith Quinn's daughter is bi?
Well we have had a hissy fit haven't we . calm down it's only a game. Ha ha
all blacks played as well as they could with 14 men sunny was unlucky it was his first tackle should have been a yellow not red think the ref was crap.
red card all day. shoulder charge to the head. protection of player is paramount. must attempt tackle, sbw never tried to wrap his arms.
Thought a yellow would be fair but i can also see a case for red card. I was more disappointed with the refs inconsistency when Mako V had commited a similar offence but only got a yellow. Refs really need to be consistent..
I see no improvements playing against 15 on 14 and still just winning, what a carpet bagger.
