Theyll keep the scoreboard ticking over and try to get a try. Then Sinkler, Laws and Stander on in the last 20 to smash them.

Only worry in that Savea is starting and will run over any of the back 3 given the chance

Close enough

I'd be very surprised if Mako is as bad as last week. Discipline would have been discussed amongst the team and also a private word in his ear. It's the correct call for me but now it's up to him to prove his selection credentials.

He doesn't know the word discipline, he almost threw it away for us against 14 men!!

For me it's a shocking decision ,the AB pack will target him and that could be very costly.

In saying that. C'mon the lions.

Hopefully if he starts to show and dodginess in the discipline department this time round, Gats with pull him off before it proves as costly as last week

Scott Quinell seems convinced The Lions will win. It looks like a guarantee in his eyes. He was the same this time last week that we would win today's game.

Hope he's right. Good luck to them

Would like to have seen teo on for at least 25-30 mins of second half he and JD linked well and made some good breaks in 1st test the forwards were second best that day .

JD man of series for me and a shout out for typric who didnt put a foot wrong in the games he played unlucky not to make a test appearance.

Well the lions proved alot of people wrong, not the best team that has gone out there and took a slamming, not the best blacks team either mind, but brave performance especially today. If the referee in the 1st test played by rugby rules and not newzeland rules the result could have been a bit different. But Overal probably a fair result a draw

what you guys think?

I agree 100%

The majority had written them off for a 3-0 total hiding and ridiculed Warren Gatland for every decision he made

In my eyes, these people are not true rugby fans

A true supporter always has faith

It may not have been the 2-1 victory I wagered on and would have relished but it is a massive, massive moral victory for the Lions and Northern Hemisphere rugby and each and every one of those lads and coaching staff deserve to take a fucking bow

I salute them all

Hope the rest of you enjoy your humble pie

After carefully avoiding the score all day, just finished watching the match... holy shit my nerves are shot. Epic perfomance, not a win, but drawing the series seems a fair reflection.
