Shut up Barnes you fucking idiot.

@Donsteppa Then why didn't the acting clown get a YC in the 1st half with the challenge on Lowe

Citing commissioner can look at that I guess. Two wrongs not making a right otherwise - at least they got one right.

I didn't think that first half collision with Lowe was as bad as some are making.

Feel for Proctor, just back from injury and that one looks serious.

[broughie]

Badly injured shoulder? It's his wrist no?

[Donsteppa]

Hope the Chiefs don't rush TKB back for Tuesday...

[No Quarter]

Another step up from the Lions who continue to improve. The test series is going to be an epic clash of styles.

@Crash it's simple mistakes handing over possession when trying to attack that is the main issue

[hydro11]

Maori forwards haven't been beaten up much worse than the Blues, Crusaders or Highlanders IMO. The problem is that the Maori have had no direction.

[MiketheSnow]

Even if the Lions see this home, we haven't really learned anything.

[gt12]

They've done great to take advantage of the man up time. Now I'm really looking forward to next week.

[taniwharugby]

Oh look, another ball dropped

[Stargazer]

Don't see Dmac in the AB 10/22 jersey any time soon. Or in any AB jersey for that matter.

This is how they have to play to beat a New Zealand team. You probably already knew that though.

[KiwiMurph]

Dmac has been absolutely shithouse.

It was a really tough ask for DMac to play 10 against a team that would bring test match intensity. However this and his appearance for the ABs has shown he struggles to cope at this level.

[Donsteppa]

DMac is over-hyped even for the Chiefs

[Crash]

This looks like a replay of the Black Ferns v England game. Ferns couldn't get any clean ball. And when they did get it, kicked aimlessly away

@Crucial

[Gunner]

Whangarei Boys High 2nd XV would have put in a better performance than the Maoris.

Way to give the Lions some confidence, muppets!

[Crash]

@KiwiMurph To be fair the whole team has been pretty dire

[gt12]

Great for the ABs though. Can you beat their kicking game? Deal with their kicks? Scrum safely? Win set piece? Do that and the Lions are pretty easy to deal with.

Fuck up any of those areas and they'l ptessure you out of the game.
