NZ 48-18 LIONS

THAT WAS AN ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT PERFORMANCE BY THE ALL BLACKS, NOTHING SHORT OF A MASTERCLASS!

The stadium may change, but the dream will remain the same!

Outstanding stuff - the start of a great NZ era I feel.

But I wouldn't feel right if I didn't lambast the officiating - at times it was nothing short of a disgrace. Abysmal again.

the ABs may be good but I am afraid that SCW has robbed the lions of any chance of competing on an equal footing. Due to his well documented and numerous failings on this tour the test team has not gelled. Any great team has the ability the become greater than the sum of its parts. When you talk about the ABs you talk about ABs a great deal more than you talk about individuals within that team. The same was also true of Wales in the Grand Slam. All good players but playing in a great team that know instinctively what each other will do almost before it happens. A team that is not only prepared to die for each other but a team that is prepared to kill for each other. Lions 89 and 97 ring a bell. A teamm cannot develop if it has not played together. No I am afraid this is going to go down as SCWs titanic.

There was lots of off the ball stuff going on AGAIN but they were fantastic in the rucks and mauls, and everywhere else for that matter. What hope have Wales got in the Autumn?
Ask me if I care?

I agree...

Lets not build the ABs up too much. They may well suffer a reality check against the Boks and the Wallabies.

They were awesome. Lions were just not up to speed. Thought our 2 boys were superb.

Ryan Jones and Easterby were excellent. Good performances from GT and Dwayne also.

Shane had a stinker but you've got to give the guy credit for his guts. He got hammered twice in the second half but minutes later he had his best run of the match.
