Wow. What a buzz.

Well done Lions and well done All Blacks.

That was incredible. Some tough calls to swallow but that is footy.

Best tour ever!!!!

This

[Crash]

The refereeing system needs a complete overhaul. That last decision was utterly disgraceful

[Tordah]

ABs skills let them down for once. Should have won it in the first half.

[Tim]

Poite should never ref again. That was absolutely disgraceful.

NZRU should be fucking livid. I hope Hansen blasts him.

[rotated]

Here comes the BS. Same as Cardiff, just because the ABs weren't perfect doesn't mean a blatant poor decision didn't decide the game in the last 10.

[Derm McCrum]

Congratulations Lions.
Congratulations NZ.

Great finale.

P10 W5 D2 L3 - a better result than was expected from this tour.

Roll on South Africa 2021.

SKills seem to have regressed the longer they've been in camp. Coaches need to look at themselves on several levels...

[jegga]

A draw is a fair reflection, many thanks to the lions players and fans for a fantastic tour.

We knew we were screwed when the refereeing appointments were announced with the two French fluffybunnys

[Stargazer]

Read: "The offside lasted a long time and suddenly became accidental. It's a tough decision, but we'll have to deal with it."

[taniwharugby]

Wow...we blew so many chances, should have had more points at the break.

Read & ref allowed the Lions to slow everything down far too much.

A draw is like, um, well, yeah....

Anywhoo, hopefully this series shows the powers that be that the Lions MUST continue, maybe we shuld go tour the Isles and play them at home.

[Tim]

On the other hand, shit selections made for a shit backline. Hansen has been there a long time ...

[African Monkey]

Oh well. Not gonna blame the result on the decision at the end when really we should have put them away in the 1st half.

[Tordah]

On a positive note, Aaron Smith's box kicking has been spot on. Very good.

He bottled it completely on the big stage at the big moment.

[Tim]

How many tries did J Savea bomb? There is no way he should be an All Black. 100% has-been.

[rotated]

Read looks shattered.

As far as wake up calls go it's better than a RWC exit I suppose. Hopefully same effect so that's something.

[Disgusted of TW]

Time to take a summer break from the Fern, thanks to all posters for amusing, amazing or appalling me to various degrees on various topics. Best rugby forum in the world.

[Gunner]

Fucking fluffybunny piece of shit asshole ref.
That is a penalty 100 times out of 100 every other time.
Would that even go upstairs in the first minute of the game, no fucking way.

Fuck off you fucking frog fluffybunny!

Sure but you have to keep it in perspective and focus on the other things too. We can't control the referee.
