New Zealand vs British and Irish Lions: 2nd Test

 Lions score!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sexton and Murray! Lions sink kick and its 21 all
Game on

 Lions just need to keep thei r heads. 10 minutes left

 wee abs lose the ir heads and Lions get penalty

Lions regain possession after many phases of abs going nowhere

 wee abs still tryless. 

 Wee abs concede a somewhat unfortunate penalty. Lions could sink this!Its 24-21 to Lions! Well done Farrel.

If Mako Vunipola had a red too I'd be happy...but this? For f**k sake, he tried to take Barrett's head off!

Referees are just starting to target the ABs. Depressing really.


And Beeno, I don't know why on Earth would you want NZ to lose. Northern Hemisphere is dirty and it's ugly. The only reason they're scoring tries is because we have a massive hole in the centres, remember.

 Penalty should of gine the other way, players are not allowed to jump into or over tackles. 

 56 seconds to go. Lions lineout. Win the lineout and win the match.

 Congrats to B&I Lions and commiserations to the AB's.
Cooking with gas now for next week.

Game's over.

NZ 21-24 Lions


In a sense I'm glad for this result. Because we all know what happens when the AllBlacks get angry and seek revenge...
Next game they will come out roaring, I can promise you that!

 Lions win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Series still alive.
Lets face it the very bad discipline of the Lions made this very close.Wee abs had to play some 50 minutes a man down. sunni bill  most likely cost the wee abs the game.Anyhow makes the third test interesting and perhaps will humble the blowhard kbbs a bit!

 Quacky justice was done with the red card so you cant really complain. Thereafter Lions ill discipline kept wee abs in the game.

Yesssssssssss!!!
Well done Lions!
What a game we have in store next weekend!
Come on Lions!!!

 It was notable that once the Lions replacements came on t hey started to dominate the collisions. Has Gatland got his starting 15 right?

 I can only imagine what ou hacked waaaaugh will be thinking about the ref. You know how he always squeals about refs when they don't give 100% support to wee abs!
Brrycy will lend his support as will that very devious JW!  

 Kbbs front up. Your team did well with 14 men so no tears please oaks!

 Naas agrees with the ref re last infringement. 

 John Robbie and Naas Botha think the ref was outstanding getting the calls right despite the wailing o the nz crowd!

There will be a lot of disappointments on the site as a result of the AB's loss.   So lets look at the various members and their attitudes:-
*    The AB supporters will blame the ref for red-carding SBW and to be fare - it was a offence that should have been carded.   I would think a yellow card was called for - a red seems to be very severe.   However, I am sure that SBW will receive a ban - so he will not be in the last test.
*    Then there is the kicking hardball fans like Mozart - the side which scored tries won the game - why was that?   It is after all a recorded fact of those members - that penalties and kicking was what was necessary to win the game.   Try-scoring is not the way to win matches - and Barrett missed two goal kicks.
I think it is only fair that the Lions won the game since they scored tries - while the AB's did not.   However, I think that the last test will be won by the AB's.   So lets wait and see what comes up next week.



 

 Bent Read was going backwards at a rate of knotts! Hahhahaha haha

" Penalty should of gine the other way, players are not allowed to jump into or over tackles. "
That's true Xavi.
Though in this instance he was jumping to catch an inaccurate pass, so it was the correct decision.

 One thing that worries me. How will wee Rhule and Leyds go in this type of test! Kolisi and Whiteley how will they go?

 Exactly so Plum!

 Ou maaaikie the odds will be on the wee abs to win third test not nothing is cast in stone.Who knows the Lions may have much more self belief. What interests me is how L ions forwards came tight when substitutes came on.

 Plum, I'll have to see it again, however after disagreeing with me and dissing ADTR we are now mortal enemies and you have started a blood feud that future generations of Plums' and xavis must battle in for their honour.

 Well congrats to the lions and commiserations to the ABs.Garces can of course go and get fu.ked.

 Lol Wardad, unlucky buddy but you guys can spank them in Eden park next week.

 Sorry I forgot to mention that other well know whinger ou warped DUD

 WD, although I agree with his calls on the 2 cards, I don't think he had a great game. I absolutely hate cards in rugby and wish that they can find a more positive way to sanction dirty, cynical  and dangerous play.

Happy with the win well done Lions, makes the last game much more interesting now.

 Draad both Robbie and Naas said the ref was outstanding. He made the correct calls under pressure from one eyed kbbs crowd. Don' t encourage the kbbs whingers

 
Well ... that was just what the doctor ordered.

Now to clean these Kiwis up in the 3rd and last test.

Gooo Lionnnnssssssss!!!

 Beeno, he got the 3 big calls right, but he got a few lesser calls wrong...both ways. Not a great performance.  As much as I dislike Peyper, I must say that he was way better last week.

Its always a pity when a red card is given.  Maybe they should make a red as the player having no more part of the game but a sub can come on after say 20 minutes? You cant have a situation where one error has an abiding effect on an entire match? Its not fair on the watching paying public and any victory actually is a bit hollow.

 Just started to watch the replay. Congrats to the Lions on the win. As said this will make the third test a beauty.

 Congrats Lady Mo(NH) but can the Lions win the third test? Lots of pressure coming onto wee abs.

Which decisions are the AB supporters bleating about?
Please be specific now.
The red was spot on and the ABs were very lucky when Vunipola got carded fro doing exactly what Taylor did. 
So what were these bad decisions that cost the ABs?

 ...deserved win i thought...could have been alot worse for NZ as we got more than our share of favourable calls...and still anyone's test series which is good for the game and Gatland does'nt get crucified by the UK media so relief for him......we need to take that one on the chin and go back to the team that won the first test...why change a winning formula - backfired badly for Hansen..
...who will replace Naholo is the question as he was taken out by a swinging arm and failed a concussion test...Julian Savea perhaps...

 Lol Xavi
My children are strongerer than yours, and more cleverer.
