Their forwards were no match for the Lions. The depth of New Zealand forwards are being tested.

Ha ha, a few of the frustrated SA supporters getting the boot in. A good distraction from your own woes.

JW, no boot from me. The MABs just weren't that good. Lions not that good either.

The MAB were bullied, they were weak and the forwards were pathetic!! The Lions looked good by the Maoris looked like they put all there planning and time into the Haka more than the game!! The MAB didn't match the intensity of the Lions, it should have been the home side who came out all guns blazing instead we get this weak game plan riddled with errors and penalties... Oh well we'll have to put up with headlines about how the All Blacks will be worried and Gatland is the man this week.. Bring on the All Blacks so we can end this Gatland Lion parade once and for all.

I am not sure whether the AB's actually have better forwards in the Tight 5 to stop the Lions from playing a forward dominated game - like the L ions would use. However, we will see on Saturday what is in store.
I think that the AB's has a much more comprehensive game than the Lions and still support them winning the test series. However, there is a proviso and that is that the forwards must produce enough good balls for the AB loosies and backline to use. If that is not the case the result could be a toss-up.

And its Maori thanks Mr Sharkbok.Mikey the ABs just need parity which they are more than capable of ,so long as the Lions arent allowed to be on both sides of the ruck at the same time we will be fine .The ABs are quite used to defusing the rolling maul and are able to get their own going now and then .

Trust that the Tests between the Lions and All Blacks are not one sided and that great rugby will prevail as both teams are capable of delivering.
