Even with the weather set to be poor, Steve Hansen’s side are sure to score tries and for that reason we’re suggesting a New Zealand win on a scoreline of 28-15.
The worse the weather the more likely it is to be a blowout IMO. The gulf in ruck technique, ball handling and support play will become more apparent. If it is raining ABS will hit 40.
It was difficult coaxing attacking rugby out of the Lions on a flat track in good conditions, how far into their shell will they go with a light shower?
OK I'm here to be roasted on this but the Lions did not lose through lack of attacking intent and Gatland's selection for the second test is all about attack. I'm not saying this will be successful, but attitude is there in selection. Whether that plays through into performance is another matter.
Not to roast you but Sexton over Teo is about attack? Only from a kicking perspective if anything.
More the Farrell over Teo really, though I take your point that Sexton over Farrell is not so much an attacking mindset.

Alright here we go, round two, bring it on you Lions motherfuckers.

Good old Wellington. Really turning on the weather as usual

Itoje just standing in the middle of the lineout. OK.

What closing the gap in the lineout, with Itoje shouldering Whitelock...

Have a feeling he'll do that all night with Blind Freddie here as the ref.

I have severe concerns about this ref
