    NZ 23, Lions 8. With a long season ahead, NZ might just play conservatively rather than run riot for the remainder of the match. We shall see.

    Shocking from the Lions there. Gifted NZ the try.

    What is it about rugby players who have the surname "Williams." We have two on the pitch today, both outstanding. A few years ago, Shane Williams. And going back to Lions of 1971, we had JPR and JJ. Oh to be a "Williams," anyone?

    By then the All Blacks had switched off their gas. But if it gives the Lions confidence going into the 2nd Test that will be good.

    Kieron Reed was imperious today, kept the All Blacks going forward every time they were defending. Their line speed when the Lions were going through the phases was breathtaking. Against that, the Lions conjured up an absolutely magical try from inside their own 22 and if only they hadn't made a few basic errors in conditions which should have favoured them, might have come close.

    Great game, looking forward to Wellington already!

    I was going to say that it's not because they're a "Williams" but because they're Welsh but then realised that the other one you were talking about was Sonny Bill... :)

    Rossi wins MotoGP race by 0.068 seconds!

    Now onto the GP. I like this track. Hopefully the Mercs won't be too dominant.

    First F1 race I've enjoyed watching in ages.


    Can't believe that we're not even half the distance yet!

    Vettel crashed into Lewis on purpose when the safety car was out! What a prick.
