Lions tour of New Zealand 2017

This has been an impressive Lions performance, by far the best on the tour. This has made me truly excited about next weeks game.

I still think the AB's will win but only because I think that Beauden Barrett is going to be the difference. Best rugby player in the world imo.

Encouraging that both the proposed 'fourth tests' have come our way, this one surprisingly comfortably. Excellent from the pack, and Farrell coming back might be able to make better use of the centre pair who look like they're enjoying the game plan.

They will still need the All Blacks to have a bad day, but we knew that anyway.

Very solid performance from yer Loins. Plenty to work on still, the support play not the least.

A bit disappointing from the Maori all considered. Aside from the North/Halfpenny horlicks they never really threatened at all.

The best thing about this win, showing for the Lions is the number of pretty good try's they have scored compared to the previous matches. Can see the improvement. Bring on the real tests!

Lions are very good but ref is atrocious and obviously hasn't heard of the offside law

Today is gonna be the day that I coach the Lions for a test
By now you should've somehow given all this talk a rest

I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About the Welsh

This mess, this talk in all the press
That I can't coach expansive teams
A bore, I've heard it all before
and I'm sticking to my hopes and dreams

I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About Halfpenny

And they knew what they'd get with my new contract
It's JD2 taking it into contact
There exists a passing game I'd like to coach to them
But I don't know how

Because maybe
Ben Teo's offloads will save me
Cause after all
We play Warrenball

In Oz I think you'll find I was
Pulling wins off without a blip
Although we'd have let the series go
If Kurtley Beale hadn't slipped

Still, I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About Jamie Roberts

And when the ball is in our half we'll kick it
And Howleys the attacking coach so **** it
He could coach them all about passing into space
But he don't know how

So maybe
This rush defence will come and save me
Cause after all
We play Warrenball

International Vice-Captain
Quite an exciting pick. Williams,Te'o. Seems he's gone for form. Excited for the first test.
