    There's little point in playing wingers when you have two non-passing centres.

    Interesting to see how Lowe faired against the NH kicking game, hopefully he'll adapt cause his performance today was quite poor.

    In saying that the entire back 3 was poor giving their hype.

    Henderson is back to his 2015 beast mode in the loose. Great to see.

    I reckon Gatland was in trouble with revenue before this match. He's certainly provided a statement.

    John Robbie I think is the last Irish 9 in 1980 final test (came in as a replacement). Murray would have started in Oz if there was a forth test :D

    Great to see SOB go the full 80, when was the last time he did that?

    Is this the largest victory between these two teams?

    Nah. Well short of the whoever that was on the floor.

    Bending down to get in his face but didn't strike him, don't think.

    O'Brien with the turnover. Decent game - cemented his place over Warburton.

    Something went on out of sight of the cameras, but they were sorting it out between themselves

    Anyone finding Greenwood's questions to Itoje were a bit weird there...?

    Really great Lions pack. Nothing going beyond centres, that might end up costing the series. That should be the test team.

    Irish all going well. Henderson might have cemented his bench spot by making yards every time the ball came near him. When fit, O Brien is probably the best flanker in all four nations and he seems to actually LIKE playing the AB.

    Lions lack of a back line is going to kill them in the tests.

    He seemed like he wanted him to be very very specific about everything he was saying - "How exactly has the lineout improved?" wtf? It's a post match interview Will, calm down.
