    They got a lineout in the 22 from that kick which led to a try.

    I don't think we're talking about the same incidents here. He had possession about 35m from their line, chipped it over to no runners, they collected and cleared their lines.

    Good to see Best throwing well into the lineout. Too late for the tour but still good for his confidence

    Errors aside, sounds like a decent game for a bit of excitement.

    An injury to Hibbard or Youngs and the confidence of a few solid throws could be very important

    DBAD.

    Also, I'd be of the opinion that stealing ball is worth more than slowing ball down?

    Yeah but it was carried back so the Lions got a lineout inside the 22.

    Fine offload by Zebo, well taken in the air too. I'd say it's a shootout between him and Maitland, Maitland had the edge in the first half but Zebo starting to come good

    Great strength by Zebo there, not had much opportunity in attack, but his defensive work has been good today

    Thats a bit harsh

    I think the point he's trying to make is obvious

    Warbs deserve his starting place ? (naturally he will get it though)

    Croft could cover locks if need be.

    Lydiate off now, replaced by Croft. The 6 jersey could still be anyones at this stage.

    not really, obviously I'm well aware Tipuric is totally unsuited to the role Warburton plays in the Lions team

    But I just find it funny that Warburton has been constantly lauded as a world class ground hog seven despite not making one turnover on this tour to date

    Neither of which are as important to Gatland as support play, where Tipuric has been weak this tour and Warburton has been great in his last two appearances

    Fair enough. That's an error by the Rebels though. It was a very bad decision to kick possession away to nobody in a great position.

    In fairness, Tipuric is a bit light weight, which was a problem on saturday for the lions, so I can't them getting rid of Warb for a more lightweight player at the breakdown.

    Maitland has it on this performance, Zebo a bit disappointing for me. Maitland wasn't used last time so it does beg the question what's the point having him there, but he's played 15 and wing on this tour, performed the best today and was clearly ahead in Gatland's mind based on the last test, can't see Zebo usurping him

    Tom Croft has to play because he won a lineout.

    Barnes is some ignoramus
