    That was a nasty injury to Hogg who caught an elbow from one of his own team...

    Excellent display from the Lions, outplayed NZ's top SuperRugby side for a comfortable 12-3 win, Farrell was outstanding...

    Good win, excellent defence, need to take those chances, but some pride back for the Lions

    Coming of the back of a loss and winning against a side that hasn't lost all season is a testament to the strength of this squad.

    Again, far to many pens and missed tackles (especially in the first half). Had problems with the high ball as well apart from a great catch and try by Seymour. We need to really step up now.

    12-10 to the Lions at half time against the Maoris. Not watching but sounds tight, again.

    The Lions have looked quite good, but yet again they have failed to turn their breaks into points. This HAS to be put right imo.

    Lions pile on the pressure and get the inevitable penalty try, getting well on top now 22-10...

    Looking decent but hard to judge. Still think 3-0 is the bet.

    Nice one Scotland for their first ever (I think) test win in Australia. Outstanding given that their best players are with, but not apparently playing for, the Lions.

    Stuart Barnes put his finger on it. The Lions have to support players making a break, in order to score tries. The All Blacks do that in numbers. Ben Te'o, who had an excellent game, was left isolated several times.

    Only saw about 25 mins as had to take partner for a hospital apiontment. Followed it on BBC. Seemed much better performance. 1st big one Saturday. On another note how can Gatland pick 6 replacements because they are in Oz or NZ? This devalues the Lions shirt as Guscott says. To be a Lion you should be the best of the 4 nations, not because you are not far away from where we are playing.
