All Blacks v BI Lions Test #3

[rotated]

Read looks shattered.

As far as wake up calls go it's better than a RWC exit I suppose. Hopefully same effect so that's something.

Time to take a summer break from the Fern, thanks to all posters for amusing, amazing or appalling me to various degrees on various topics. Best rugby forum in the world.

Fucking fluffybunny piece of shit asshole ref.
That is a penalty 100 times out of 100 every other time.
Would that even go upstairs in the first minute of the game, no fucking way.

Fuck off you fucking frog fluffybunny!

Here comes the BS. Same as Cardiff, just because the ABs weren't perfect doesn't mean a blatant poor decision didn't decide the game in the last 10.

Sure but you have to keep it in perspective and focus on the other things too. We can't control the referee.

[Mokey]

Rubbish end to a nerve-wracking game. Very poor call from Poite.

But far, far too many errors from the All Blacks. And penalties.

GAH.

? You know theyre tough when NZ resort to trying to milk scrum penalties.

Yeah that was very disappointing.

[Stargazer]

Now, the question is, why doesn't a draw in the 3rd test (at 1-1 in the series) go to overtime? Seems like the right thing, to get a series winner.

Did they go up for the offside pen, though? I thought they went to check whether Read took Williams out in the air (he didn't, clearly), and then reviewed the offside whilst they were there.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

What utter bullshit.

But what really shits me is the decision to go to Dagg off the back of that scrum near the end there. Wtf was that shit?

Loved the fact that he unconciously referred to it as a loss.

On the other hand, shit selections made for a shit backline. Hansen has been there a long time ...

Fail mark for the All Blacks brain trust across the board for the last two tests. Selections, strange substitutions, and basic skills regressing.

[taniwharugby]

@Disgusted-of-TW yeah was plenty of gesturing about that.

WOnder if KAino will get cited?

[Crash]

@Mokey Yeah my nerves are still shot

[Tim]

Hansen lost to Ireland last year, we were shit on the EOYT, and now we've drawn a series at home and were fucking incompetent in the backs. I think he's gone very stale.

[Tim]

Also, FFS have we learned nothing about the value of experience?

[Mokey]

Sam Warburton is so fucking classy with his post match comments. Damn him, I want to hate him right now.

[Virgil]

Shows how much we have missed Ben Smith not too mention Crotty

Like the fight game, don't leave it in the judges hands.

[Disgusted of TW]

@taniwharugby Hope not. What purpose would it serve to cite Kaino? YC was harsh, arguably fair (I thought pen would have been enough), but it was dealt with on the pitch, no one died, series is over.

[broughie]

We made too many mistakes, they made all their kicks, Beaudy missed a couple, Lions defence was good and negated our backline pretty well, Lions have little adventure in their backline but played to a game plan and their strength, our forwards were not as dominant and those Frenchies.
