Stormers 38 / 15 Sunwolves
A well taken pressure Owen Farrell penalty three minutes from time grabbed the British and Irish Lions a 15-all draw that forced a tie in their series with the All Blacks but there was controversy after that which saw an epic series end in a surreal atmosphere at Eden Park.
Although the Lions captain Sam Warburton said afterwards he didn’t quite know what to think, deep down he must have had the satisfaction of knowing it was a moral victory for his team. The All Blacks have ruled the rugby world for a long time now and the Lions hadn’t won a test in New Zealand since 1993. So a drawn series was a notable achievement for the visitors.
And you could see it afterwards. All Black skipper Kieran Read struggled and kept faltering and biting his lips as he made the statesmanlike comments that tried to deflect attention away from the controversy at the end that made this match a little reminiscent of another series decider at the same venue 36 years ago.
On that occasion, in 1981, it was Welsh referee Clive Norling who earned notoriety and infamy amongst South Africans for a penalty awarded against the Springboks that cost them a share of a three match series. This time it was French referee Romain Poite, who delivered the act that saw the series get drawn – but this time for a penalty that was not awarded.
Perhaps in talking to the television interviewers afterwards Read was still struggling to understand how a penalty awarded against the Lions for being off-side was referred to the TMO, George Ayoub, and then turned into an “accidental offside”, which meant a scrum instead of a possible series winning penalty. The TMO appeared to agree with the initial call of a penalty, yet somehow Poite changed it.
As the commentators asked afterwards, was it the correct ruling in the first place, and would it have been referred to the TMO if it had happened in the first two minutes of the game and not the last two?
Perhaps though we should stop short of suggesting the decision robbed the All Blacks of a series win because although the penalty was awarded in a very kickable position, Read was right afterwards when he stammered that his team hadn’t taken their opportunities.
@ superBul:
Hi superBul seen your comments on the other thread thought would answer here. Don’t know of Ex Player from the blogs did you meet this person at your business today?
And in the final analysis, great player though Beauden Barrett undeniably is, and the All Black flyhalf was brilliant in general play, his poor place-kicking did cost the Kiwis the series, and there can be no guarantee he would have kicked that last one.
Barrett also left points on the table in the second test in Wellington. Had his kicking been up to the standard of the Lions kicker Farrell (there was also a monster kick from Elliot Daly in the decider), the All Blacks would have won the series 3-0.
Hey superBul and Gbs as we had oxtail for supper I have a question you wise men can maybe answer. Do they only chop the tail from the male beeste for eating and so call it oxtail or do you also get tail from cows you can cook?
Try Cheslin Kolbe, as he toed a loose ball through… and scored near the posts.
@ Bullscot:
Yes, he was one of the great RT characters, we hasd a major fight with KEO, and we became this renegade club , and build RT with Rudi and ED as the engineers who knew the inner works of PC protocol. Was really a major shift, and a journey
Stormers 45 / 15 Sunwolves

Yes I was wondering if the All Blacks could find another backline player that can kick. Barrett is such a brilliant player who should be there regardless of whether he can kick to poles or not. Why does it mostly have to be flyhalf that kicks? At Scotland we have scrumhalf Laidlaw who is the best kicker and then we all know about how good Chris Patterson was at kicking and he was mainly a fullback
