Lions v New Zealand, 2nd Test, 1/7 8.35AM

A-Train

Garces evening up the red card now! Pinging the lions for hits that he lets NZ away with?

Refereeing inconsistency is a curse on this sport.

NZ media will be going mad with that just being a penalty.

Their commentary team are saying it's unfair on the Lions, considering what happened to Farrell being ignored.

DDC1990

No problem with the referee giving that if he gives the one on Sexton earlier. Totally ignored.

Riding the Lions in the second half. NZ getting away with murder.

Clegg

Gatland needs to make a decision.

razorblunt

This really is a pathetic attempt at managing a game against 14 men.
Should really be 24-9.
Where's the coaching, where's the leadership?

That's 3 from Mako now.

laurie88

As I said at the start, the ref choice is going to dim a great game

Vinupola in trouble now. Idiotic.

Clegg

Vunipola is getting a card

Guy:Incognito

So it'll be 14 a side and game gone.......

Delighted to hear McGeechan is alright.

For those not watching Sky, the hospital found his old NZ medical number from back when he toured with the Lions, which is mildly interesting enough for Sky to make a promo about next week I'm sure.

3 part mini series if the lion's win this game as part of the build up to the deciding 3rd test

What is the difference between that and the hit on Farrell?

Surely both penalties?

We'll never know as they're not going to replay the Farrell hit. Ref at the time was certain it wasn't a penalty late hit anyway.

razorblunt

Oh FFS, Vunipola again.
Barrett is milking it but the intent was there.

chupacabra

Terrible terrible terrible

budhabob

What an absolute eijit!

prettyboy81

There goes the game IMO.

deaddonkey15

What an idiot Vunipola is.

laurie88

about time they called that late hit

F34

Video ref trying to get that up to a red ffs

Leroy42

Come on now, NZ down to 14 and Lions have pretty much been muck since the sending off. A total lack of discipline from the Lions is costing them

irishman86

Mako again, idiot

BBDBB

Brainless, the TMO seemed to be wanting more than a yellow

Diabhal Beag

Vunipola is trying to throw the game on his own

A-Train

Ah he was a walking yellow card there

irishbucsfan

So basically exactly what Sam Cane did to Murray last week!

Can't really complain, we wanted this to be actually watched. Just frustrating. Don't let Mako back on, his discipline has become an embarrassment.

chupacabra

TMO is certainly earning his paycheck tonight.

LeinsterDub

Lions don't reserve to win this.

PTH2009

****ing this away

I can see the ABs getting a try very soon

keep your knickers on love

the penalty count is the problem, the ref missing calls is the other

Clegg

Warburton you mong.

Why not, he shouldered him in the face on the ground a dirty play

There have been some similar looking clear outs from ABs all game.

gooch2k9

Only an issue because BB got hurt. ABs clear out the same way a lot, just watch Cane.

Both Mako and Itoje have been making very bad decisions all night.

prettyboy81

This is a repeat recod on play another penalty!

Ya Im the one who needs to keep my knickers on :rolleyes:

Sephiral

This is frustrating.

SlickRic

This is the single worst half I've seen from a Lions team, possibly ever.

BBDBB

Lions just aren't in the same league

Clegg

Gatland needed to make changes five minutes ago. All Blacks were camped in the Lions half, discipline was shot and we were giving away all sorts of penalties.

He's lost his bottle.

laurie88

make the subs now!!!

GiftofGab

$hite game tbh. Lions can't get into it. Too many errors, too many penalties. Get your discipline together lads.

CurryFlavoured

This is incredibly disappointing. I'd rather see them get hammered than lose like this.

Squidgy Black

This is just painful to watch. Possibly the worst game of rugby I've seen in a while.

Sephiral

Three easy penalties missed. Should be 27-9.

Lions doing better at breakdown but utterly failing to control the game.

irishman86

So guys what exactly has Jones/Warburton brought to the team. The answer is sweet **** all.

Shows the difference a proper ref has. Just because Cane got away with it last week doesn;t mean you get a free pass this week.

Not likely to happen with Lawes coming on for AWJ

i dont think knickers are the problem
The discipline is gone out the window
all the ladies on the field need to sort it out and play rugby, not niggly
