        That's 50/50. Both players with hands on the ball. Advantage attacking side?

        @Virgil read it again. I'm saying you give the benefit of the doubt to the Blues in that situation.

            Perofeta has done two things right and almost everything else wrong. I think the Blues are giving the Lions too much field position and their set piece is quite weak. Lions just need to work on their kicking game and they should take this one.

                Some random thoughts:

                • The Lions are definitely in for a long tour. As long as the opposing midfielders remember that Gatland always uses the same umbrella rush midfield defence since forever, stronger packs will make their life very difficult.

                • Patrick T. I haven't watched may Blues games, but I assume he's doing something really bad. Not only that he missed training, but also that as an All Black he was only good enough to make the bench of this Blues tight five.

                • The Blues backs will be deadly when they eventually click.

                • Tana has had nearly two seasons with the Blues. Three quarters of the way through the Super Rugby season the Blues drift into short periods of the game with the urgency and cohesion of a team that just met in the tunnel. One more season to sort it out?

                • Halftime score a fair reflection.

                Bring on the second half!

                      Gardner openly disagrees with TMO. That's not on.
                      Doesn't work well with others. Also has been acting on what he thinks (eg the Payne no try.) before the ref has made the actual call. Lions players look to have gained his sympathy and that's poor for a usually quality ref.

                          How did Gardner disagree? i'm not hearing the ref on my feed.

                            Luata just ducked at point of contact, good decision from ref. But seen less get a yellow.

                            Gatland will be tamping. We should be two scores ahead.

                            Forwards done everything asked of them. Nice balance in all three rows.

                            Need to be more precise at lineout.

                            Webb, Daley, Halfpenny going well.

                            Biggar has stifled the midfield.

                            Nowell looks like a fan who's won the chance to play for the Lions. Yank him.

                            Great breakdown defence from Blues.

                            And like all NZ teams if there's a sniff, they breath deeply. And they did.

                            All about substitutions now.

                              @KiwiMurph he's not playing well, but given he is a kid with 1 super game playing against the Lions it is understandable

                                  Yeah, unfortunately Perofeta looks a bit out of his depth.

                                  Luatua, SBW and Rieko Ioane looking good for the Blues. The forwards are getting beaten in the set piece though and this incarnation of the Lions looks a lot better than Saturday's lot.

                                  My Blues by 13+ bet is looking a bit shit. 🙂

                                      Who threw the pass for Riekos try? Missed almost all of first half and only saw one replay on highlights.
