All Blacks v BI Lions Test #3

From what I've seen in June and July, only the Saffas will give you a game in the Championship

Probably answers itself, but what would the response be if the roles had been reversed? I'm guessing Mr Frog would be utterly destroyed.

@Gunner He wasn't "great" mate
He was pretty damn good for most of the first half. A little anonymous in the second when the Lions slowed it down
You lose a fair fucken bit of kudos when you fail to catch the most important pass of the first 10 minutes, Boo.
We score then and the week's "arroganting" looks odds on
Can't sympathise that shit from a 50 test AB looking to revive a career
Oh dear.... one dropped pass doesn't make a game.
He played well, move on.
I counted more than one. The play off set piece he fluffed a straightforward one.
He had a mixed bag that is for sure.
You could rewind a few years and the diverse views about Savea is exactly what we heard about Rok.

I'm slowly getting there (medicating)
What a lovely (truly) month we've had in comaraderie and mutual respect (and abusing) the Lions TSFers !!
Pot, Mike, Cato, Simon et al - what a great ride we've had
appreciate your virtual travel and cultural assimilation and supposing the head clears in the morning perhaps...rugby has been the winner
Respect NH chaps - good fluffybunnies, ebven if laboured with supportiung a bunch of yellers
hard bastards though, for sure -
Have not read the thread since the game started, not the interested in referee minutiae critique.
But my impression, bearing in mind my second half analysis becomes a bit clouded by booze.
We smashed them first half, and for most of the match. But we didn't capitalise. And they came back at us plenty, but on the whole we had this.
Haven't seen stats.
We learnt plenty tonight.
Well done Lions on an excellent tour, and by God did we need it after Sanzars's post 2015 plummet. Good stuff.

Shows how much we have missed Ben Smith not too mention Crotty
I'd agree with that. Still can't understand why Crotty was left out if he was running freely
I heard a whisper that Crotty was being saved for the Crusaders mighty run to the Super rugby finals....

ALB is having a tough 2nd season. Mediocre this year.
MotM vs Samoa, good last week and has had to deal with different combinations. Didn't see much of him on attack this series but I think his positional play on defence is very good.

What? He's been all at sea in defence at times throughout the series. I think he's had a very mixed bag as most of the backs have had.
Looks to have bulked and not as quick.

@ACT-Crusader Indeed, his defence has been poor all season. His execution has been lacking, which is not surprising for a young player in their second international season. Opposition has studied him, and he's under more pressure now.
