It's a very old fashioned, classic 1970s test score line at the moment. Hard to believe that the All Blacks have two tries and only 12 points. Make that 15 points......
8 minutes to go, in need of a score and yet again the Lions kick the ball back to the ABs. I just don't get it!!
I'd take a draw........... Has to be said that, mistakes aside, the Lions tours are now pathetically short for a team that has never played together and they have done exceptionally well to keep this series so tight, and be in with a chance of winning it with a few minutes to go. Against the best team in the world. I was reading about the 1971 tour yesterday, those blokes played loads of games.
Outstanding achievement, against the best team in the world at home, with as many of us believed (including me, go on admit it) the wrong coach and too many Welshmen in the undercooked squad. Add three weeks to these tours and make it a four test series. I'm sure the commercial side would love it, whatever the English clubs think. And rugby is much more about international matches growing the popularity of the game, don't let it go the way of football. Bravo Lions. Come on England, big reasons to believe we can be No 1 after this.
Fantastic achievement given that the Lions are very much a scratch side. Gatland & his coaching team did wonders to create a 23 man squad capable of matching the World Champions in their own back yard - a squad that played a total of 10 games, compared to the '71 Lions.
If you look back at the Six Nations, yes Wales finished 5th - but lost to both England & France in the final minutes.... Scotland did well - apart from when England smashed them - but they are more a team than a side with fantastice individuals. Nice to see that AWJ joint top Lions tackler with Faletau today.
I know - I remember setting my alarm clock to listen to the Test Matches at around 2.00/2.30am. Basically, that squad played a season together - so had time to gel. I know a few of that squad
