The Lions took 78 minutes to hit the lead against New Zealand in Wellington. A clutch penalty from Owen Farrell levelling the series and sending it to a decider.
Thats because they made the ticket prices so expensive most Kiwi's couldn't afford them. Then there was the accommodation prices for the Lions supporters, they were being charged ridiculous prices when they played the AB's.
Only because they care more about seeing an annoyingly dominant AB team losing than a Pommie and Irish team losing. They'll be 50/50 split I reckon about the decider, actually they'll back the Kiwis.
I love so many sports but a Lions tour is the one i would love to attend. I am.71 now so it wont happen but if i am not too old for a bucket list, it is my number one. Number two? My beloved Orient to get to the Prem. I know, there is more chance of me playing for Lions!!
Just stumbled across this, interesting comments. As a Kiwi, unless we beat a side comprehensively there is always a nagging doubt that we weren't really good enough. As an example, we were very lucky to beat England at Twickers when Underhill's try was ruled out - few Kiwis remember that as a great win. So even though the red card was well deserved, I could never brag about a 15 against 14 win.
I think the difference is NZ are almost always favourites, the lions are almost always not. New Zealand expected to beat England, but only just did so. Lions were expected to lose to NZ but just about pulled off a win.
@@royphair9676 As a longtime (mid 1980's) All Blacks supporter it has nearly always been about not just winning, but winning well. So, if the opposition were to lose a man, it would seem like a hollow victory no question. Take the NZ Black Ferns win in the Women's WC over a 14 man England. Everyone seems to think it was a great, courageous win but I just can't get past the fact that England were looking the better side - until they lost a player. Doesn't matter that it was the correct decision, the 'contest' had changed.
It's unfortunately true. I was watching footage of the successful Lions Tour '71 recently, and the high tackles from New Zealand were appalling. And nothing has changed. A great team, but very dirty. Spearing Brian O'Driscoll that time? He should have been up in court for that.
Keep on whinging mate 13 years later of course your team are saints never done anything wrong what a whinging snowflake get over it if you can't beat them have a good whinge instead eh?
You realise that 23 years after the fact, NZ supporters are still whinging about a poisoning incident that was never proven and the mythical "Suzie" never found...?
I watched the little docu/movie about the third game... One of the coaches is getting ready to send Sinckler on as a sub and he says to him. 'they're gonna come for you, promise me you won't react'. Team's know he has a short and they try to get reactions out of him. There's good footage of Wyn Jones drawing a foul out of him off the ball too. Good player though
Williams gets sent off and many ABs seem to be saying: 'That's tough man, but there you go' when they should be saying: "A, what kind of a f***ing tackle was that? Could have put a fellow player in hospital", and B "thanks a bunch for leaving us with 14 players for the rest of the match."
I was there, some random Irish guy started heckling me about Grizz Wylie after the game and to THIS day I still have no idea what he was on about. He just kept saying, "what about Grizz Wylie though?". Weird.
You mean, to reinforce the soccer like display of faux outrage in an attempt to give that facepalmingly appalling ruling an air of credibility, while actually having none. It’s funny that in the test where a BIL’s player deliberately caught a ball in an offside position, in clear view of every observer, then realizing his guilt and throwing it to the ground, at a moment that would’ve quite rightly given the series to the AB’s, was regarded by yet another NH ref as accidental, as if that meant it wasn’t a penalty. A shower of bull-schidtting, self trimming bastiches all round it seems.
@@TPRM1 .....Incorrectly employed (old) meme, is incorrectly employed. You’re the initiator of a conversation re lardy boy Kyle tigger. I bet you felt really memey though for a bit huh?
@@TPRM1 you aren’t gonna complain about starting with any of them at 8 but Toby tackles everyone for 80 minutes, can play the ball, goes forward highly highly skilled with ball in hand, for me id start Toby and have big V come off the bench but both amazing players
I feel like the last penalty was a bit harsh. Not sure what the rule book says but if a bloke jumps into a tackle then surely that's his fault and not the defending players
I'm Australian, and both parents are Irish. So just to clarify for all I was supporting lions in this game and was thrilled with the win. That said I felt bitter it came off an unjustified penalty. I think the lions deserved the win though
Barrett voted player of the year twice! Has pace sexton probably jerks off to. Scores unbelievable tries. Smith is probably one of the main reasons the All Blacks are so good, with his speed and passing accuracy. murry would be closer to Smith than sexton to Barrett. And they have both won a World Cup!! So they are not the best. We are yet to see them in a semifinal of a world cup, well ireland as a matter of fact!! Thanks to your New Zealand coach who knows
There you go, that wasn't too hard, was it? Jesus, I'm glad we aren't the best nation in World Rugby, because apparently it would mean all our supporters are c***s, going by the comments under AB matches on here. You'd think you lot might be happy or something.
Lions supporter here. I thought the penalty for the in the air tackle was harsh. How could the AB avoid that? He jumped to receive a bad pass. Just cant see how that was a correct decision.
The British lions have got to be bloody solid to play NZ on their home patch. They are relentless. But look on the bright side we'll out drink em" any day
a great LIONS victory, not only hard graft and labour, as the all blacks tend to criticize Brits when they lose, two beautiful tries with excellent handling, and no one can say that Sonny Bill was not guilty for his charge against WATSON, of course he was, and good player as he is, he is not above law!
The celebrations and congratulations after Conor Murray’s crucial equalising try, seem relatively muted compared to Faletau’s earlier try. Why?, I wonder.
Imagine if Australia, NZ and S.A had a team and they played the Lions it would be a good game or they should do a Northern vs Southern hemisphere series
What's the point when NZ are the best team in th world.. biggest challenge for lions is getting all those players together in a small window of time to take on the best international teams in the world
Do you think NZ would be improved by SA/Aus players? Wouldn't be much in it. Also NZ play and train together far more than the Lions do. This was a big win for the Lions.
is it ? was it ? Lol at NZ best team. Yes they were, but we all know they aren’t close now. England, SA and France are all comfortably better. NZs forwards are poor. They got manshamed by England.
God only knows how the referee determines who is at fault in the scrum. It is never shown in replay because it is too subtle and the commentators have not a clue why . Yet it leads to three points.
The fact that the Lions, the team that is supposed to have all the best players of the United Kingdom put into one, can only win by a penalty kick, at basically fulltime, whilst having a man advantage for 75% of the game, shows you just how powerful the AB's are. They are ridiculous!
All I can say they have to put together a team from 4 different country to beat the ABs now that says it all, literally the very best players from England,Scotland,Wales and Ireland.
There have been comments elsewhere about the Lions beating 14 men. Not quite - 14 men and a dirty bastard. All Black's have been getting away with this for years.
Anton Nzl speak to the ref not chops off on here. I thought personally it was a shit win as an English man....who celebrates barely winning against 14 men .
King : same story in SA during the 2009 Lions tour. The venues chosen for the best of 3 series welcomed many Lions supporters. Very good for tourism in SA. And good as well, for the Lions fans, because with the £, you can tour like a king.
Not only a referee with balls but a French referee with balls. You'll pay the price for playing on the wrong side of legality eventually. Let's hope it's a sign of things to come and refs are more alert to their sneaky cheating and forward passes (does any other team forward pass as much as the ABs??!!)
Can anyone hear what Sonny Bill said as the ref was red carding him? Didn't seem particularly obnoxious or anything, but I am curious to know how he thought he could argue against it...
One of the clearest reds ever. If that was anything other than a red it would have been a crime.
Hahhaaha
Oh yeh the england player with the maypole skip 💅
There were a lot of criminal decisions when it came to New Zealand in the McCaw era, so it's good to see some improvement.
Yeah that Lions dude who jumped into the tackle should have bent sent packing.
@@joepunk90 Are you blind? Clear shoulder straight to the head.
Sexton, Murray and Farrell; three play makers. Murray's try was pure class beating 4 defenders.
3:45 so many Lions wrestling Sinckler away before he blows his lid :D probably for the best before he got a card as well!
I loved that! As soon as Sinckler starts getting to his feet Connor Murray has him by the scruff of his neck pulling him away from starting trouble 😅
@@jonnyinch8158 Clever move. Won them the game XD
4:27 he had another go, instead of celebrating the win hahaha
Say about the Brits what you want, but they support their team big time. They make the home team feel like it's an away game.
Brits??..........It's the British and Irish Lions
Anybody find it really good that the lads who stopped Sinckler from acting stupid were the Irish and Welsh lads
They did well to stop him and then we won 🇬🇧
If they got rid of the score boards from the screen you would think this is a home game for the lions.
Thats because they made the ticket prices so expensive most Kiwi's couldn't afford them. Then there was the accommodation prices for the Lions supporters, they were being charged ridiculous prices when they played the AB's.
"The All Blacks will have 3 minutes to turn this around"
Morgan Freeman voice: "They did not turn it around that day..."
Faletaus finish needs a mention.
Nice to see the Aussies enjoyed the Lions win over the AB`s nearly as much as we did, if not more, kind regards from Blighty.
fred beach we hold our own lol....it shows poms are real bone heads abz all day lol

Don't worry mate, I'm still buying your wine, so there's some justice in the World !
Preach it bro
I was there in Wellington it was one of the best lions games I have ever seen.
You are a Lucky man
Great Lions tries and nice kicking from Farrell.

This reminds me,i need a bottle of mudhouse wine.
Jee Whizz what a moment!
Connor has scored so many times against the AB and all the same type of try’s.
He’s currently on 4 tries against NZ. Not many players can brag about doing that. Especially scrum halves
AB must forget SBW. I don't understand why Leaumape was in the bench. He's the best no. 12 in NZ.
"I don't understand why Leaumape was in the bench. He's the best no. 12 in NZ."
Maybe behind Crotty
At 3.45 the Lions players holding Sinckler back from fucking everything up.

Love how when Kyle Sinckler got up from that tackle in the air, three Lions players surrounded him to pre-empt any reaction!

there was no arms in it anyway
It's pretty hard for a 130kg person to suddenly pull out of the tackle he committed himself to but rules are rules.
SBW was the first All Black to have been sent off since Colin Pinetree Meads five decades earlier.
"He's too big and strong smidy".....

Great try from Faletau, munched the full back.

Looks like Nz are being watch. And ref is calling up for infringements off the ball. About time Ab stopping getting away with shit
0:59 the ball went backwards 😂 you can see the ball ended up behind Aron Smith when the ref penelised the all bpacks
It would have been a bit sick if the All Blacks had held on for. Win though. A hollow victory on any level

Next your hear the ABs yelling poisoned!
And the ref was a cheat and the weather wasn’t to their liking
If like to see Finn Russel, in a more Barbariam style Lions. Dream on me!
were is our team Australia ,new Zealand, south Africa, and the island rugby union teams as one take on the lions team
