grootblousmile on 17 June 2017 at 10:51 am

Another 5m Lions scrum, as Ioane is trapped inside his goal area… carreid back.

Lions scrum penalty advantage…

They WILL of course scrum again…
44

grootblousmile on 17 June 2017 at 11:06 am

Maoris just not able to subdue the Lions scrums anymore… could almost have been another Penalty Try…
45

grootblousmile on 17 June 2017 at 11:08 am

Lions defence is impressive!
46

grootblousmile on 17 June 2017 at 11:09 am

Looks like the Lions have built a good side, after a slow start to the tour…
47

grootblousmile on 17 June 2017 at 11:10 am

Lions attacks are still based on forward dominance though… Warrenball…
48

grootblousmile on 17 June 2017 at 11:11 am

Lions penalty… 13 penalties to 4 penalties…

Once again they will go for goal… to keep the score board ticking.

@ grootblousmile:
This match shows how important a tight five is. Star studded Maori backline failed to show.
53

grootblousmile on 17 June 2017 at 11:27 am

Lions will win comfortably…

Lions scrum penalty it is….

Go mr Gatland. I really like this guy. Cool, calm and collective. Always emotionally in control. Clearly knows his rugby. I would so like him to succeed.
