I'm a bit at a loss, why they put Ardie at 6 when Kaino went off and not Barrett.

Needed a catalyst at that point, the game was in flux.

The shifted Cane to the blindside on at least two scrums.

Beaudy lucky there. Looked like he played at that.

Because Barrett is primarily a lock and Ardie is a loose forward.

Our "professionalism" and the South African ref turning a blind eye at Eden Park...

A referee from South Africa. Cold beer. The haka.

On Twitter they're still complaining about blocking.

Go to PR. They were whinging like little bitches about the ref after the first ten minutes.

[MiketheSnow]

Good couple of phases to finish

[Stockcar86]

Gatland with both team selection and coaching. Expected result

The Lions squad do many of the things that they themselves complain of...

Forward pass on first try.
Obstruction around the ruck.
Peyper is from SH - not enough penalties.
Haka.

They will wait until the next test to start eating their own.

[MrDenmore]

The haka. The weather. The lack of warm beer. The insistence of the locals in using soap. Something something powderpuff and 'south sea islanders'.

[ACT Crusader]

Davies is a big hombre. Great fend. He had a great game.

[Tim]

@akan004 LOL I ain't wasting my time with that.

[kiwiinmelb]
