- An unforgettable night as the Lions and New Zealand played out a drama-filled draw to finish an epic series all square. Watch the build-up from inside the Lions camp as Warren Gatland and his coaching team bid to inspire the team to achieve what many had seen as the impossible.
Never been so nervous for something I already knew the outcome of
Haha my feelings exactly
Mike William heart rate was going through the roof
Lol, absolutely nailed it mate!
same.
We need a CJ cam at every game
This is not an old joke. I am English and was with Welsh , Scottish and Irish lads in a bar in southern Spain. Never have I had so many highs and lows in 90 minutes. The Lions bring us all together , something football can't do. I made life long pals and we are all still barred from the bar!!
That Jonathan Davies chase down around 11 mins, with the coaches willing him on, gets me everytime. "Go on Foxy, go on foxy". Get in there my son!
As an unbiased Welshman I think he's one of those greats with plain feathers but flies like an angel.
Always been a massive fan of Davies as an Irishman. Massively underrated throughout his career even when he was highly rated!
I know not everyone will feel this way but I love the expression of unity between the four nations (and Ireland) during the Lions tour.
Feel more patriotic about that than my ‘Englishness’ - which I value independently, but this tour, for me, makes me think we ultimately all come from the same stock and have a shared identity as well.
Well said Josh. The Lions are/is? Something special. Four great, proud nations fighting as one.
@@Makethemostofit1 Well Welsh Kings did once rule England and France. But yeah the UK is strong together.
Same
Let's bring this corrupt government to its knees
That’s nice. Hate each other in other walks of life / religion / sport however it’s convenient when you can get a pool of 90 m people together
You know, seeing Sammy Warburton and Reado up there, holding the trophy together, and then the group shot at the end, maybe that was the perfect way to end the series. The greatest players going head to head and you know what? They were evenly matched. Would have preferred a win but on balance, I think this was a fair result and accurately reflected the skill and passion of all those involved.
Yes, but it definitely should have been a NZ penalty at the end there... Even though i was not supporting them!
Agree, the wide shot of both squads and knowing the all parked their grevences and had a beer together wins the day.
@@jeeveso NZ won a false penalty when Warburton fairly won the ball in the first half - so really, NZ got lucky
Raedo the paedo
Incredible tour. The Lions only led for 3 minutes of the entire series, yet managed to draw.
And in 2017 it took 4 Nations to draw against 1 with only 4 million citizens! Pretty pathetic.
@@atethr8327 by that logic the Barbarians should win every game they play
@@lourensstrydom1502 calm down mate. It was a joke. But yea I wouldn’t make it anywhere
Stolen by the ref at the end reversing a clear penalty for accidental offside. All Blacks would still have had to kick to win.
@Howard Hassen Lions had five games against club sides before the first test. All Blacks only had one warmup game against Samoa.
Bloody 'ell, I was on the edge of my seat all over again.
16:38 How many times does Kyle Sinckler hear these words
I imagine it’s his ringtone.
TPRM1 hahahaha
What did he say?
@@louiescfc2960 "don't react to anything...promise me"
The final shot of the players united celebrating "the draw" leaves a pretty bitter sickning feeling in my stomach. Imagine the drama of extra time!!! If only...
TheSmithersy yeah, the lions played great, especially considering their dismal performance against the super rugby teams.
I’m very proud of our Irish RFU Coach Andy Farrell , he is very special, you can see how he “turns the key” on his players, next Tour in Australia is going to be something special with him in charge!!
Great look behind the scenes, brilliant, enjoyed every moment .
nothing great there swearing and swearing
ohh noooo..... swearing in pro sport 🤣
It'll be a heartbreaker if next year's tour gets cancelled.
it'll be a heartbreaker if it gets decided the same way as this one... if you know what I mean...
Too much money involved, it won't be..
I've seen a post on facebook few days ago by SA Rugby Magazine that next year's tour is confirmed and tickets can be booked
@@Mad_Intalect stupid thing to say
@@Bull599 I’m due to go with my school, we’ve heard nothing yet but time will tell, fingers crossed it’s sorted out
This was fantastically put together, really made you feel like your one of the players alongside them!
John Davies was immense
Agreed. From an Englishman. Faletau too. AND Sanjay. (AWJ goes without saying.)
I ended up being in the very strange position of being *glad* that Chief (Manu) and Billy were injured, because I couldn’t see how they could have played any better than your two boys. (I know it’s “us” when it’s the Lions, but it’s not a Lions’ year. 😉)
Edit: Sorry, I have totally just assumed you’re Welsh, there!
i miss this davies
He was indeed!
@@TPRM1 You are 100% correct
@@Tahrman Cheers 👍🏻
This is a honour to how good New Zealand is, it takes 4 nations to draw with them. They are marvellous. 🙏
Rugby is the 5th or 6th most popular sport
over there.
@@brendaalbert4492 5th or 6th even more impressive.
@@TB-bh8tj If Rugby was No 1 in Oz they would kick the all black butts every game.
@@brendaalbert4492 Nó, sorry.
The Lions have to come together from scratch. No years of combinations to draw from so dont big yourself up...
14:15 damn sexton is so inspirational. i love him its so hard seeing him get old
Foxy with the the man of the match performance ..
John "fox" Davies.
Absolute fucking legend.
What a brilliant video! I literally started tearing up a couple time
Great video, thanks for sharing behind the scenes.
I love seeing the home nations come together
Just an awesome event. Great ending and two great teams..
It’s amazing how well the Lions do considering their players are knackered after another ridiculously long and brutal NH season
Hopeless really, they should beat a tiny country.
The very best of 4 countries vs one? Also, you could say the same of Southern Hemisphere teams in the Autumn Internationals?
Rugbyprof But they’ve never played together before and hardly anytime to gel. Come the end of a ridiculously long NH season, the players are on their last legs. They play way more games than their SH counterparts.
Rugbyprof The very best of four countries means nothing. It’ll play some part but if you’re bringing that up the Barbarians should win all their games.
gr8kooks I mean yeah, they do have a population of 60 million together, whereas us kiwis had 4 million at the time, but still they played great.
Those sounds as the AB's ran out still gives me goosebumps.
Fabulous shot a the end with both teams sat together ....The brotherhood of rugby right there 👍
Absolute goosebumps watching this 3 years on
Can't believe how emotional I've got watching this this 4 yes on like it was live , I need a beer now
The lions tour is the epitome of rugby ❤
Great insight great documentary
a beautiful piece.
That pre game meeting though... gave me the chills!!!!
The picture at the end is what it’s all about!Love rugby😊
Warburton - What a player
Excellent upload once again. Wish I could FFW to the 2021 series already.
Your wish has been granted
Wow my heart was beating like a train even know this was 3 years ago 😂the beautiful game at its most nerve racking
I'd just got off an overnight flight from America and was listening to this in the car on the way home. Fair to say this kept the jetlag at bay.
What a game respect for both teams. IMHO the perfect result
I like this behind the scenes style it tells a better story than some overblown narrator telling you what to think. Far more absorbing with gritty reality.
One of the best games ever
Everyone talks about how NZ should have won it in the end with their chances, but i still can't believe the Lions didn't make more of 20:03 when Webb stole the ball, had he kicked it into the 22 there would have been a chase and if they didn't win the ball they could of at least put NZ under pressure to win a penalty
Great game, great series. ....from both teams 👍
Foxy is in my opinion the best centre ever for the Lions
What a game that was❤️
What a video!!!
Such a good video
Excellent insight
Would someone please post up on TH-cam the full (not just the highlights) game of the 1st Test Match NZ v Lions of this 2017 Tour.
JD2 was just unreal this series.
Considering everyone thought NZ would win the series 3-0, drawing it is rather decent
All blacks didn’t have a decent leader to stand up
Jamie McSkimming still tho, lions did great.
One of the greatest achievements by a Lions team, IMHO.
Thank the French ref for the win
@@anthonycorboy5122 I take your point. Such a margin call.
*But* one could argue that Kieran Reid took someone out (can’t see whom - AWJ? Sanjay?) in the air just before the offside, and one could also argue that the ball literally landed in the sub prop’s (forgot his name) arms, then he *immediately* dropped it. Any *slight* movement towards the ball was purely reflexive, not pre-meditated.
So, accidental offside, no different from if the ball had hit him on the back and bounced off. I.e, scrum to All Blacks.
To be clear, I am saying that *both* calls could have gone either way, so a scrum New Zealand was probably a fair decision/outcome.
Yes, I have thought about this a lot...
Happy to debate it (respectfully) further, if you so wish.
PS Also remember, at every breakdown, the ref could give at least three penalties to each side!
EVERYONE is offside, and EVERYONE plays the ball on the floor.
The best refs call it even and let it go.
I will be Traveling to SA next year 🤩🤩
Unbelievable tour and a great match. Cant help but feel robbed at the end there as a kiwi but a draw was a fair result after an unbelievable tour
Sam Warburton is a born leader. Legend
I thought the All black coaches and players were all class for not throwing the ref under the bus at the press conference afterwards.Congrats too the 2017 lions and more importantly the world class lions supporters.It doesn’t feel like it but hopefully this pandemic will be over so we see the lions back in nz in 2029.
Please god we will hopefully the pandemic will be eventually gone by then please god in 8 years time
Sam Warbuton was such an influence on that last decision, proof that having a crafty and inspiring captain really can make the difference
Warbuton really is an amazing captain, knows how to talk to the ref. Kieran Reid on the other hand, especially right at the end, was nagging at him. Not doing himself, or the kiwis any favours
@@rd-ec1nm as a kiwi was never a fan of reid being captain, would of rather had sam whitelock instead
Why was this never made into a DVD like the previous two tours? So stoked that next years tour will get it again and from both sides too
There is a 2017 lions uncovered DVD this video is a snippet from it!
YES! YA FOKKIN BEAUTY YA! - CJ Stander, 2017
I absolutely took this result..
This lions tour is going to be tough for Warren as all the home nations are playing great and trying to pick the players to make the team will be difficult
One of the great British and Irish Lions series was 2017.
Gatland: Coaching the opposition and home teams at once.
He is a Cavalier coach, looking after any team that will pay the bills (Lions and the Waikato Chiefs).
Professionalism at its best (or worst) depending on how you look at it.
Sean O'Brien was class
great
Lions were so jammy getting away with that offside at the end
Read was offside anyway.
@@xpat73 you're right
Backwards out of the hand. Couldn't be offside, impossable. Ha ha from a Lions fan point of view of course.
Read was offside and took him in the air. Offshide at Kick Off and England penalty straight in front on half way with Elliot Daly there. Unlucky not to have a chance to win. Re the offside, overhead camera shows the ball did not go forward so was not offside at all. Fair result over the match.
It is quite amazing to see that a team formed with the best players of some of the best team of Europe only manage to draw against NZ 😅 those guys are just at an other level
As a South African I was getting emotional and kinda hoping the Lions would win it.
watching this post 6 nations in 2021 it's amazing how many tackles would now be deemed high and result in a yellow card.
Why didnt it go to extra time?
No series should ever end as a draw.
6:52 I can't understand what he's saying but it's amping me up
Ask not what your country can do for you,but what you can do for your country.
Diolch boys.
Remember watching that game at home thought new zealand were going to sneek it but I would have taken a drawn series
Did you guys send Sonny Bill his Lion's Jersey? 😁
Im playing... relax. Was a great tour and this game was amazing.
18:16 Itoje just slapping his head
Nz did us a solid with the result
I would love to see who made the combined team Farrell and Bauden Barett but the question is who would play 10 and who would play 12
LIONS!!!! LIONS!!!!!!! LIONS!!!!!!
The best series bar none. Lions tours trump any world Cup. The true essence of rugby. Bringing people together. I actually nearly cried watching both teams run out at Eden park for the first test. As an ex pat living in nz, it was great to see an opposing crowd making the home supporters get off their arse and make some noise. The end may have been a disappointment but the tour to me was what rugby is all about. Get off the keyboard and make some noise.
Why was I so nervous towards the end knowing the result already?
My only question is, why didn't the ref call advantage for NZ at the end (19:05). Accidental or not, NZ had the ball.
That scrum pen???
10:07 GO ON YA GOOD THING
damn. It really took 4 countries combined to tie with the all blacks in 2017. oooosh
TOM BOM indeed, Abs are the greatest in all sports.
@@Skiwi685 if you forget the springboks (current world champions), or England for that matter if you count the 2019 world cup. just saying....
Pretty sure the Lions have a worse winning record than the individual countries do, almost like the Power Rangers combining to make a worse MegaZord.
They were thrilled with a draw. We were gutted. That’s the difference between the best team in the world and the others.
I thought that was currently South Africa? Typical Kiwi, seemingly incapable of giving any NH player any credit whatsoever.
Currently is the Safa’s (and rightfully so) but look at the world player of the year winners, only a couple of NH players in there.. look at the world rankings (dominated by the SH) . The facts are the facts mate
@@mattfitzbizdr I always say SH has more pure talent than NH. No arguments. However, I have a massive issue with Barrett getting WPOTH that year. He was bang average. I'm English but I'd have given it to Jonathan Davies. He was immense throughout the series. It wasn't Barrett's fault but it struck me as lazy journalism, I mean just for one Retallick played superbly and would have been more deserving.
Oh and I am not thrilled with the draw!
I've lived down in S.Island NZ for 21 yrs and you are a classic NZ supporter
Is that for all your sports you play in ENZED?
Weird at the end that was.
Nobody knew how to feel after the last test.
Doesn't matter as the record books show the series as 1-1, but you have to be delusional if you think the Lions deserved to draw or win this series. Outplayed in the 1st test, they can thank their lucky stars SBW was sent off in the 2nd one, even then they only scraped through. Then NZ fluffed a few kicking points in the 3rd and got nailed by the ref in the end.
Everyone who read this comment is now 10x more dumber after reading it
Do you need someone to explain to you how competitive sports work?
Or put another way... you have to be delusional to think that the All Blacks deserved to draw or win this series.... won the first test well enough, thuggish behaviour saw them lose a man in the second test and fluffing kicks saw them drawing the last. But it's always the refs fault, isn't it? Come on, man, even Jonathon Kaplan said that Read should have been penalised for taking out Williams in the air, and if Poite had done that, the Lions would have hoofed the ball upfield and actually could have come away with a win.
@@Karma-qt4ji FYI Kaplan pointed to law 11.6 - which states "when an offside player cannot avoid being touched by the ball or by a team-mate carrying it, the player is accidentally offside" - and was baffled at Poite's decision to award the All Blacks a scrum instead of a penalty in the 79th minute. "This is something I cannot understand and seems completely wrong - it appears ludicrous to change your decision after agreeing it with the TMO," he added.
"I would, though, say I have huge sympathy with Romain as this was a high-pressure, volatile situation, and it may be his command of English was not the best at this time.
"He was, though, technically wrong to use the TMO to check for offside - although he may have done so in the best interests of the game, which I have no issue with. But what many people, even those outside of New Zealand, will not understand is how he came to reverse that decision."
Food for thought?
@@Nineteenseventy2 You are very selective in your quotations and I see you have steered well clear of the bit where Kaplan says Read was at fault. Let me remind you....
quoting from an article on stuff.co.nz
"Kaplan, the most experienced test rugby referee of all time, said that call was "ludicrous" and "technically wrong" but argued that All Blacks captain Read had made an illegal challenge in the air.
Lions fullback Williams fumbled Beauden Barrett's kick off after Owen Farrell had levelled the scores at 15-15 at Eden Park, and Owens was initially penalised for being accidentally offside.
Kaplan disagreed, saying Read was the guilty party with an illegal challenge in attempting to gather the ball from the restart, Kaplan wrote in the Telegraph.
"I would argue that Williams had already taken the space in the air and that Read could not win possession from where he was, even with an outstretched arm," Kaplan wrote.
Romain Poite initially awarded the All Blacks a penalty before consultation with the TMO led to a change in call.
The South African said Read's intervention caused Williams to knock on and if the referee had identified this, the ensuing penalty for the Lions would have ended any controversy on the matter."
If the Lions had been awarded a penalty and even gone on to win the game and series, few neutrals would have batted an eyelid. Blame would have been apportioned to the performance of the team on the day (how many chances did they butcher in this game???), the discipline of the team (aka SBW and his red card), Barrett's goal kicking abilities despite Hansen being questioned about this after the first test, and a few other peripherals. No one would be talking about this one decision and putting the entire outcome of the series on it's shoulders. In other words, even staunch New Zealand fans would have (after a few days of grumbling about the game going soft) accepted the decision and moved on.
@@Karma-qt4ji Not selective at all, you had already stated that previously, No point bringing it up again, I was just giving you the other side of the coin as it were. And these are Jonathan Kaplan's own words as were the one's you pointed out.
How big is the Lion Series next year, if South Africa win, it would be immense 4v1 where each of the four (except Scotland) think they can beat SA individually. But South Africa will be playing like their lives depend on it, SA will be playing for the pride of the Southern Hemisphere after AUS/NZ failure
32 - 12
15:38 is that Rhod Gilbert
Sexton makes me proud to be Irish ( and I am fn Scottish :-/ )
Yeah...but Chasing The Sun though🤷🏼♂️
Captains should have got together and agreed on extra time
NZ threatened to run away with the game but we showed that the results was fair. I bet both teams had a good piss up together
bro at half time sexton just goes ham on his squad jesus
The shocked look on Reads face was memorable. The entire Kiwi contingent expected a 3-0 win
Took a send off and a bad call in the 3rd to stop the 3-0
@@shaunnz7444 but the send off was justified though, or are you contesting the blatant shoulder charge to the head?
@@elscruffomcscruffy8371 he ain't saying the send off was the bad call, he's saying the accidental offside was. with a penalty awarded, NZ could very well have won the series 2-1. however I do agree that the red card was justified -nasty ass shoulder charge to the head
The entire kiwi contingent didn't expect a 3-0 win. We expected a hard fought series and good footy, Game 1 and 2 showed that, game 3 should have, but sadly it ended in a whimper with a terrible decision which the IRB later admitted as much. But hindsight is so over rated, As a kiwi I would've loved to have won the 3rd game, and could have lived if the Lions did as well.
Man maco vuniopla just picked Wyn Jones up on his own
