All Blacks vs. B&I Lions test #1

[Derm McCrum]

Seanie O'Brien playing a stormer.

[Crash]

I never can understand why no=one seems to be able to tackle Liam Williams - he has crooked leg

[mariner4life]

Lions have belief now

[mariner4life]

@Pot-Hale both 7s killing it

[Stargazer]

Sops as sub for next game, please.

[Mokey]

Fucking hell, Cruden.

[Donsteppa]

Can we play two halfbacks and hook Cruden?

[mariner4life]

Who threw that fucking shit pass at the end there?

[akan004]

Should have been 15 ahead. Nervous about this especially with two backs out already.

[canefan]

Where's BB?

[Tim]

We looked so much better with Barrett at 10.

[kiwiinmelb]

With both backs on already , we lose a fair bit of the usual impact with 20 to go

15. Dagg

ABs should be ahead by more. Looked great when keeping the ball tight, totally steamrolling the weak Lions pack.

[Derm McCrum]

Hope that try doesn't become the only highlight of the tour.

[rotated]

Can Cruden be tested for a concussion? He is playing like his debut here.

[canefan]

I'm out of country just logged in

[No Quarter]

Messy play there, golden chance to hit back fluffed.

Great first half, ABs started very strong and controlled things nicely. Injuries to BFA and Crotty have hurt us.

Lions started slow but starting to build into it now. Williams at 15 had paid off, Halfpenny would never make a break like that.

Set up for an epic 2nd 40.

[Stargazer]

So I guess Goodhue will be in the squad with Crotty likely to be out for the rest of the Lions tour? He's the only one other than ALB who can cover 13.

I hope it's the only one for the lions.

I've never rated the hobbit at 10 for the abs, ffs he looks pretty average tonight
