KingKirk 25,461 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 To go to new Zealand and come away with a drawn series is phenomenal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlearyEyedBear 4,148 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 After losing the first test 30-15, to come back and draw the series is a huge credit for the Lions. ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clemdog 39,389 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 So refreshing to hear Read speaking there. 'The decision isn't the reason we didn't win'. Not poisoned by money like footballers, they have genuine respect for each other. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
reallyruff 622 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Fair do's in the end. Came close but NZ probably just the better team and deservedly finishing on front foot. Handling errors killed the lions momentum time after time. Played in spirit of genuine sportsmanship by both squads. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boaby Bear 411 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Lions were lucky Farrell brought his top kicking game, Lions never looked like scoring a try and all they had was kicking. NZ are fucking awesome the depth they have is phenomenal. That wee chip out to the wing the the slap down for the try had me coming in my y fronts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackal 547 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Not a big rugby fan but that series for me was brilliant. Why though do they not play extra time? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big thing was we didn't do enough against 14 men when Kano was off. Still all things considered not a bad result, with plenty of entertainment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliot Daly hit a 55m monster. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
