    As a Bay man, I'm glad to note that Ihaia West scored the winning try and conversion. Should have started.

      And booing as well.

      How can your fans complain about booing when your forwards yell at us every time we try to put the ball into a lineout? Shouldn't you be more worried about the sportsmanship of your players, than the fans?

              No, better to have the experience at the end. And Perifuture did set up the first try!

                And there it is..."speed of the game" wondered when this gem would get trotted out
                What did they expect? Have they not watched any SR?
                It has been obvious for years the speed of the game in the NH is slow, slow, slow

                  Pretty cool competition going between Best and Sexton, but nice to see the Irish captain step up to the plate to show Sexton isn't the only massively overrated player on the field. They make a nice 1-2 punch though!

                      Yep, maybe the change could have been made at halftime, but the order worked well.

                        SBW has to start at 12 for the ABs. He was on fire, and in form he is miles ahead of anyone else. Physical dominance.

                          Was a great game of rugby - you could feel the intensity out there. Blues probably should have lost. You would have to say that it's hard to see the Lions doing well if they come up against another good pack (like the Crusaders).

                                        Thoroughly deserved from the Blues. Stuck to the task and clinically and brutally exploited the Lions lack of pace and spatial awareness.

                                        With a bit more precision and YCs being shown it could easily have been 5 tries to 1.

                                        5 mins either side of halftime killed the Lions.

                                        Luatua, Williams and Ioane played themselves into contention.

                                        As mentioned earlier Owens, Tipuric, Webb, Halfpenny in the box seats for test match 23.
                                        Big competition for prop.
                                        Itoje will be in test 23, Lawes won't.
                                        Stander had a good match but not good enough to oust Faletau.
                                        Biggar shithouse. Sexton not much better. Gatland's decision to select Farrell as an outside half borne out.
                                        Centres never got a chance and you still have to fancy Te'o, Joseph and Davies to be vying for the test spots
                                        Daley is class
                                        Nowell played himself out of contention
                                        Liam Williams will have to do something remarkable to even get a look in

                                          Talk about a competition to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Lions prove far better this time!

                                          Jesus the Saders will be licking their lips.
