The Lions Tour

[Hugo Rune]

That knock on by Webb summed up the Lions pretty well. So much passion and fight but so many mistakes. Surely any home nation (other than Scotland) would beat the Lions?

 

[Is it PotG?]

All that huffing and puffing for nothing.......tied series

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Pretty good advert for the Lions, and more importantly on the back of the Win against Australia it will shut up the people of want to bin it.

To come away from New Zealand with a drawn series is a massive achievement. Well fought Lions!

Other than stopping NZ's 23 year winning streak at Eden Park, think that's better than nothing

Don't like rugby, but that was gripping stuff.

Talk about putting bodies on the line!

Sorry but they've just drawn against the All Blacks in an arena they haven't lost in for yonks ..great rugby let's not downplay this achievement

Absolutely this. Great series.

The administrators have cocked up - you bet they will introduce extra time in future series decider tests

Pretty sure it didn't go forward which made it a massive call because we were swarming all over them at the time.

Take a bow Kieran Read. 100 Test caps for THAT team is some achievement.

Amazing test result in the end bearing in mind the quality of the opposition and all the advantages the ABs had during the tour.

 

[London Irish]

It's a fine rugby achievement but still an anti climax - 71 and 74 will not be challenged

Probably a 'Golden Goal/Try' situation is best. Another twenty/thirty minutes would be too much for battered bodies after such an encounter.

 

[Bozza]

Looked at 40-1 for the draw this morning and thought it was the sort of thing that would happen in a series like this.

Didn't do it though, obviously.

You are so wrong there. Magnificent series. Sport at its very best and most tense. I've loved it and a drawn series sits fine with me.

Take your point but we've had two world cups decided in extra time - I'd be amazed if there isn't some kind of rule change

Why should they change it ..no need ..simple ..so no 'cock up' as I see it

Total legend - in Itoje the Lions may have a career equivalent
