    At least Stephen Jones gets a chance to be ironic.

    Yep - well done Lions.
    Unfortunate for my english workmate who I just know is not going to be particularly gracious in victory... I don't think he realises how close to murder-victim he's going to come.

    J Barret to goal kick next week, given Dagg can be dropped off a cliff. A Smith to play 80 mins next week too.

    First All Blacks red card in 50 years - since Sir COlin in 1967...

    That fluffybunny shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence as Pinetree .

    So: SBW to be suspended or just not picked for next week. Naholo failed his concussion test, so also likely gone. Hopefully, the rest of the team healthy for next week. Team selection will be interesting.

    @No-Quarter It's a common interpretation of the law by NH refs. I can't understand how it hasn't been clarified before now as while it makes sense for catching kicks, when a player chooses to jump to catch a poor pass or just because, they shouldn't benefit from that choice.

    That's crazy, I've never seen anything like it. Makes an absolute farce of the game.

    Cruden did more to lose that tonight than SBW. One brain fart is forgivable but repeated brain farts under pressure is not.

    Well done Lions for winning that - they held their nerve and got there in the end. Also well done to most of the ABs who tried their best to try and stop about 4-5 guys from flushing that.

    I don't put Beauden's kicking squarely on him, selectors have tolerated it for too long and haven't seen it as an issue.

    Kieran asked "did you lose because Lions were better, or because of SBW?"
    He lies.
    Edit: nah, to be fair to Lions - he probably should have answered "both"

    Cruden needs to fuck off to where ever he is going, right now!

    SBW you are a dumb fucking stupid idiot.

    Fuck sakes. Fuck fuck fuck.

    I hate these cheating mother fucking Lions. When will the refs man up and ref the fluffybunnies properly!

    Bad loser? Yep!

    Well, shit.

    Firstly well done Lions, there were two good attacking movements in the game, they were both yours and both resulted in tries. You tried to lose with some brainless play, but held your nerve.

    For us, poor. Couldn't do anything against their defense, and kicked away all our ball. Barrett was shit, Cruden no better. The attacking kicks were shit and just gave away our ball.

    Realistically we were outplayed and i can't think of a good All Black to be honest. Lions better in most facets, Itoje and O'Brien were huge.

    Fuck you SBW

    Congratulations Lions. Better team won. Good for Lions rugby. They were winning the collisions from minute one.

    I was going to say hopefully dry weather for Eden Park but really just hopefully no red cards for ABs.

    Fark, you're tough. I'm immensely proud of teh ABs, to stick with the cream of the NH for 50 minutes with 14 men is incredible. And - to lose - took brain farts and a dodgy ref penalty.

    Every AB who played tonight (except one) can be proud of what they did. We had no right to stay in that contest for as long as we did.

    I thought Cane and ALB were faultless tonight

    Good win for the Lions. Their tight five played around the park like they'd had a rocket up their collective backsides.

    AB's started like they'd just phone it in from last week, then had to wake up when SBW did an SBW...

    Would love to know what happened as they were off down the tunnel.

    Looks as though even the lions were telling their own player to shut up. Then the all blacks stopped and turned towards whoever was giving it

    I wish we could get Angus Gardner for the final test.
