[No Quarter]

LOL that's a try!

[booboo]

Changed my mind

Shoukd be try

[Crash]

@Sapetyvi In SR that would have been at least a YC

[SimonAdd_2]

That's 50/50. Both players with hands on the ball. Advantage attacking side?

[Stargazer]

Haha, not knocked on! Try time!

[taniwharugby]

Your in the wrong forum to be looking for support...

[Crash]

In the interests of balance - at try has been scored!!

[mariner4life]

Try assist #2 for the young 10

[Wreck Diver]

Perafeta's passing has been very poor

[Rancid Schnitzel]

That was fortuitous!

Gee I hope the Lions kick like this in the tests. BFA will have an organism.

[taniwharugby]

@mariner4life well played sir!

[Tim]

Ioane brothers and SBW doing it for the Blues tonight.

[SimonAdd_2]

@Virgil read it again. I'm saying you give the benefit of the doubt to the Blues in that situation.

[mariner4life]

@Tim the 8 not impressing you?

[hydro11]

Perofeta has done two things right and almost everything else wrong. I think the Blues are giving the Lions too much field position and their set piece is quite weak. Lions just need to work on their kicking game and they should take this one.

[KiwiMurph]

Perofeta is playing bloody well considering circumstances. I see a lot of promise.

Some random thoughts:

• The Lions are definitely in for a long tour. As long as the opposing midfielders remember that Gatland always uses the same umbrella rush midfield defence since forever, stronger packs will make their life very difficult.

• Patrick T. I haven't watched may Blues games, but I assume he's doing something really bad. Not only that he missed training, but also that as an All Black he was only good enough to make the bench of this Blues tight five.

• The Blues backs will be deadly when they eventually click.

• Tana has had nearly two seasons with the Blues. Three quarters of the way through the Super Rugby season the Blues drift into short periods of the game with the urgency and cohesion of a team that just met in the tunnel. One more season to sort it out?

• Halftime score a fair reflection.

Bring on the second half!

Oh look, Sexton's on. Oh look, the blues are in the lead...
