need to make this count......
Yellow,game on now?
Interesting!
Shame players can't have a super slo-mo as they go into a tackle.
Need a try now
That's as clear a yellow as you will see.
JD2 is immense!
What a liability that Farrell!
Oh lordy not sure I can take this level of tension...
Tackling from both sides is brutal
12-12 well I never, now we'll see how the AB's react having so much of the game and not getting away on the scoreboard
What a place for a scrum penalty. Awful if thats the decider.
another simple basic error.
Mon the all blacks!
Always a worry that Private Pile would give a penalty away.
Little errors and now the AB closing out.
We need the bloody ball in hand
Would you take a draw?
Yes.
**** me....
Right now yes 😉
A liability LOL
...and breathe...
Gulp
Dear God how tense 😆
Check it you git! Owens was in line! That ain't clear and obvious!
Good decision
scrum penalty on the halfway line?? But which way......
Oh my bloody god. A draw. Dunno how to feel! So happy that I completely underestimated this Lions squad.
So are the Gatland haters going to admit he did a pretty good job.
Wow what a series, what a tour.
Felt like a fair result. Great game.
Oddly I'm gutted.
Fair play to Cementhead though, his boys hung in it!
So are the Gatland haters going to admit he did a pretty good job.
Nah they'd have won had they played fast and loose or picked Robshaw or Russel or blah blah blah
I'm not sure how I feel. Deflated probably...
😡 very true what will TJ say?
Lion of the series. Faletau any other contenders?
The Lions were let off the hook a bit in the first half, but were a lot better in the second, despite never really looking that dangerous.
I'm shocked, not because I don't rate Gatland and his tactics (although I'm not a fan) but because the all blacks are just so bloody good, and yet somehow a loss win and draw which is better than anyone else in world rugby could do. Well done The lions!
All sounds much better after Sam's interview. What a geezer.
The Welsh players on the tour were my biggest surprises - especially Liam Williams and Jonathan Davies. Prior to the tour, I thought Liam's enthusiasm far outweighed his skill and that Davies time had passed. But they were both outstanding. Played a massive part in the success.
Wow.
Odd but fiair result
Great series in the end
Glad my "old fav" AWJ proved me wrong - he was colossal.
England and Wales looking good for 6N !!! 😉
Ah yes, but Scotland will be rested and fresh! 😆
Warbs captaincy saved the lions at the end I reckon. He (rightly) pushed the ref to TMO.
Interestingly the lions were far better in the backs than the forwards which I didn't expect. Howley deserves some praise too.
Lets not forget the Lions contained the AB's incredibly well for 2 Tests which is an achievement in itself.
Draw is probably a fair result in what was a very hard fought, error strewn, pressure cooker of a match.
If I were an AB supporter then I would be pretty unhappy at some of those call at the end though they did get some favour at the start. Don't know what anyone else thinks but with Owens attempting to catch the ball, instinct or not, that is a penalty in any other game (rightly or wrongly to the laws). Brave call!
As with the last Test it was the nous that impressed me compared to being completely rolled over in the first test. Itoje's leg kept the man in the bottom of the ruck about 3 times and Webb was so tragically unfortunate to have accidentally hit the escaping man when he did get free to win the penalty securing the draw for example.
Farrell might have had a shocker but it goes to show the value of having guaranteed points off the tee. NZ have to have to sort that and I'm sure they will.
Lots of players stepped up and vitually none of the Test squad looked out of place. SOB, Warbs, Itoje, Watson, George, Sexton, JD2 lots of great consistent performances. I'd love to see the stats but Faletau must be right up there in almost everything!
True dat, wrecker
Seems a slight anti-climax. Sudden death anyone? 🙂

Absolutely! Just keep Martyn Williams away from the ball when it goes to penalties!
