Former Lions halfback Mike Phillips says the tourists are favourites for Saturday's decider and insists the "wounded" All Blacks can be steamrolled.
"But, for me, the Lions are the favourites. They have the momentum and belief - and these guys are 80 minutes from becoming legends."
Crikey,
how many momentum's and beliefs does it take to equal the aura and mystique? And how do they compare to a pact?
I'm so lost in modern rugby
@nzzp you forgot legacy

Interesting the Nh think this is the first time he has been under pressure, he is under pressure all the time ,
Every year we have must win games , part of being an ab coach and the winning expectation that comes with it , last one was Dublin . -
yep, Dublin last year, a couple of return matches with Aus after they beat us, 2015 RWC semi & final, pressure isnt new to these guys, well most of them anyway.

I'm drinking a bottle of wine and watching Pirates of the Caribbean with my boys, relaxed as fuck.
We'll win, and when we look objectively, it will be viewed as one of the best given the players available and the level of the opposition.

Am nervous as fuck ...
Crows conceded a goal just before the half time siren to put it within 3 ...
Pirates though ... excellent choice

For the first time in my life I have bet against the ABs as an emotional hedge. Sold the ABs points handicap @ +12.5. I feel dirty.

Someone ban this fluffybunny, for months

Oh shit, and now I've stumbled on Return of the King, where the tattered remnants of Middle Zealand defeat the hordes of white orcs on steroids; and beasts from both the bog and the pit.
Aaron Smith for MoTM. Closely followed by King Read

Crikey. I thought this was a safe space

Wait, upon re-watching, Samwise Cane is the real MVP

@TeWaio how do 30 pieces of silver feel Judas. Remember when the cockerel crows 3 times you will end up hanging yourself.

Judases north of the border too
As cries of âCome on the All Blacksâ and âGreig Laidlaw should be startingâ come from north of the English border, the rest of us look on with a degree of incredulity.

Quite rightly the only starting Laidlaw will be doing is packing.

found this interesting:
"That was an exceptional side and the only players from the current side that would have a chance of getting in would be Brodie Retalick and Read."
I think our 2017 forward pack as a whole is much better than the 2005 version. Our current locking pair is pretty special.
Obviously 2017 backline is inexperienced - but I would take Smith with one arm over Marshall.2005 team:
- Mils Muliaina
- Doug Howlett
- Tana Umaga
- Aaron Mauger
- Sitiveni Sivivatu
- Dan Carter
- Justin Marshall
- Tony Woodcock
- Keven Mealamu
- Carl Hayman
- Ali Williams
- Chris Jack
- Jerry Collins
- Richie McCaw
- Rodney So'alo
Never heard of that Rodney So'alo fella.

@JayCee yea I'd take Whitelock over that duo too.
