That attacking chip kick would have excited BB. What a waste of valuable ball

Now called "The Ardie Gambit"

Incorrect, they kicked into the opposition's 22, not in their own 22. More aptly the Barrett gambit

Closest game of the tour and there'll be a few on both teams making pointed comments through their on field play to their respective coaching staff. For very different reasons.

These players just cemented a legacy for the next tour. In a way the AUNZ nonsense didn't.

If McCarthy is injured then Beirne to second row and Morgan to 6

Chessum and Pollock on the bench, Earl had no impact tonight

Farrell has played himself into the 23 along with Mitchell and Kinghorn

AUNZ was an opportunity lost. These boys just come out and niggled, made life difficult for the tourists

Everyone saying how it would be nice to continue the FNP concept. Seems a long time to wait for the next Lions tour. They could take a leaf out of league's book and have an annual FNP vs Maori PI clash?

These Stan commentators are getting more insufferable the longer the tour goes - cheerleaders would be more balanced

Yep andorgan Turunui has become the most crigeworthy whinger there is. Even when I agree with his opinion, I find him a pain.

Good excuse for mid-week beers and a close game for once. Feel sorry for Darcy Graham. FNP played with heart and organisation, but the BILs has too much fire power.

George has done enough too

Back up hooker for Saturday

Speaking of front rows: surely Porter isn't the second best loose head in the squad?
He's hardly the best scrummager

He’s fine so long as there’s no overhead camera!

Wouldn't a Porter v Tupou scrum be a sight to see?

[pakman]

@Bovidae You’d hate to be a hooker between those two. Talk about head in a vice!!
