Without going down that rabbit hole. It's actually pathetic how one sided it is

Right at the end he gives a decision to the Lions. Hopefully better in the 2nd half.

 

[Vrotappel]

Pretty sure they allowed that intercept try to give the AB's a false sense of believe.

Once the ABs got their scrum going.

How the f does he score from there with the inside step?

This tour only serves to give the All Blacks and their top 30odd players f#$ loads of confidence in build up to next WC...

Well done Lions. Gave the AB's a good game. Led for 60 mins and only lost by 6. Better than any of the other team, Boks included. Super proud of the boys!

Great fight by the Lions. They were clearly burning at 60min but kept going. If it wasn't for a few poor tackles they would have knocked the All Blacks over.

 

[Heisenborg]

This was the game we should have had a chance to win. Dave rennie said no and kept his best 2nd team fresh enough.

That was enjoyable to watch, Lions can be proud of their game, I doubt anyone expected how well they held and the final score.

Misnomer that. Spiritual home of SA rugby but no fortress.

What makes Ellis Park/JHB the spiritual home of rugby, in SA?

I believe rugby was first played, in SA, in CT, not JHB.

I'm proud of my Lions team despite the loss. Yes it would have been nice to get a win but they really tried.

When leading 35-17 at one time I was ready for our win but the All Blacks came back strong.

In the 2nd half the All Blacks managed to break through our backline with ease and when they replaced their forwards our scrum started struggling especially our tighthead.

But still a very entertaining game to watch.
