Well, shit.
Firstly well done Lions, there were two good attacking movements in the game, they were both yours and both resulted in tries. You tried to lose with some brainless play, but held your nerve.
For us, poor. Couldn't do anything against their defense, and kicked away all our ball. Barrett was shit, Cruden no better. The attacking kicks were shit and just gave away our ball.
Realistically we were outplayed and i can't think of a good All Black to be honest. Lions better in most facets, Itoje and O'Brien were huge.
Fuck you SBW

Looks way worse on replay. He was coming in legit and the picture changed by the space closing. He should have pulled out but there was no way that was deliberate.
Just about to say swap Rieko for Laumape but Kaino?Seriously Crucial? Does this fucker have to kill someone for you to criticise him?
Thankfully Lions shooting themselves rather well in the foot. Not sure how long it will last.
Dammit.
Just look at the wider shot and imagine if Watson had come free. SBW was doing the right thing to come in and cover but didn't change what he was doing when Watson stayed wrapped up.
I've said it was his fault and that the red was deserved.
Just think allegations of a deliberate shoulder charge are off the mark.Who gives a shit? It was fucking clumsy and stupid and has likely cost NZ the match. I can't believe you're even trying to defend him.
Where am I defending him?

Fark, you're tough. I'm immensely proud of teh ABs, to stick with the cream of the NH for 50 minutes with 14 men is incredible. And - to lose - took brain farts and a dodgy ref penalty.
Every AB who played tonight (except one) can be proud of what they did. We had no right to stay in that contest for as long as we did.

I thought Cane and ALB were faultless tonight

Man Cruden kicking the ball away with 90 seconds was pretty hard to stomach. That's a 2% play. It was well covered by two Lions defenders. Lions had given away penalties all day. The plan should have been to work upfield, kick a drop goal and at least draw the series.
Also the quick lineout was so unnecessary.
-
Looking at the bright side before I become incoherent, the series is alive and next week actually means something.
Secondly SBW won't be playing and I get to tell everyone who raves about him "I fucking told you so, he's a fluffybunny".Once again well done to the lions , opportunities are taken not handed out.
-
I thought Cane, Brodie, Whitelock, and Moody were excellent. Ardie put in a good shift too. We just missed Kaino. That's too long, too short handed.
It wasn't helped by A) shitty goal kicking, and B) shitty kicking. I don't think Cruden justifies his place, and he needs to be dropped.
If Jordie Barrett is good enough, he must be picked. Dagg to 14, and I'm tempted to bring back Julian too. I'm totally over Ioane missing his first up tackles.
And, lastly, but mostly, well done Lions. They made hard work of it, but they got the job done, which was required the moment we lost SBW. Good on them!

I just hope that we get to see Barrett have 80 mins at 10 next week. Very frustrating watching Cruden there.

All of a sudden it's becoming a delimna, you need a 10 on the bench , and in the modern game , you need to use your bench .
Need another 10 utility
