All Blacks v BI Lions Test #3

Judases north of the border too
As cries of ‘Come on the All Blacks’ and ‘Greig Laidlaw should be starting’ 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.

Scottish rugby is in full meltdown on the Facebook page I follow. It's fucken amusing. Aside from an argument for Seymour on the bench they're clutching at straws. I think some are still hoping for a late call up for Barclay or one of the Grays.

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.

I don't know if the NZ Tab offers it but many online bookies offer a first half only head to head, start and points total. The odds aren't quite as good, but you get the same effect with the chance of a win/win.

Not that I'm a gambler but Oddschecker.com shows international bookies are rating the ABs.
https://www.oddschecker.com/au/rugby-union
NZ range from $1.18 (Sportsbet.com.au) to $1.25 (Betfair).
Lowest odds on the Lions $4.30 (a mob called TopBetta) up to $4.80 (William Hill), although they show Betfair at $5.30 but in a different category (anyone know what an "Exchange" is?).

@booboo historically the ABs bounce back hard from a loss, so no surprise the bookies arent offering too much.

I do believe we will come out all guns blazing ,
My main concern is the rookies , and how they handle those little key moments of decision making ,
if our full strength side , I would be a lot more buoyant .

Seti Afoa interviews Stephen Jones who believes the All Blacks will win by a score. Interesting interview.

Well well well. Is Jones wearing a black shirt...

I just can't see us losing. The Lions were well beaten in the first Test and in the second they required a soft penalty to snatch victory against a team that had played the majority of the match a man down (and still should've won).

I opened that Jones video, saw the length and immediately closed. Ten minutes of just Jones? Nope.

I didn't even open it. The single view of his cadaverous face was enough for me. To early in the morning for a sight like that.
