What do we think for this weeks second test?

Personally a massive test and if the All Blacks play as they can then curtains I am afraid.

However I have a sneaking feeling that the Lions will roar and make it 1-1. Here's hoping.

Where are people watching? I guess a little early for most of the pubs although suspect the Keg, Tramps etc. are open for business.

Guinness for breakfast.

I think 1-1 is the best the Lions can hope for.

It's make or break for the Lions they must not lose to keep the series alive, not sure if Farrell or Sexton are up to keeping Sonny Bill Williams in check, Te'o did last week, because they are both the same size, about 108k, once he went off Williams came to life.The only reason I can think of why Wyn Jones is in ahead of Lawes is he must be a better scrummager, because in the 6 Nations when Itoje was in the back row at every scrum he came into the second row and Lawes switched to flanker.

Farrell wont be the issue - a good Wigan lad (albeit 25 years younger!) like myself.

Used to shout at his dad for kicking the ball at my car. At aged 15 Andy F was nearly a foot taller than me!

We need our forwards to contest - not too many penalties and then strike in last 20 when more room outside. We can live in hope.

Sonny Bill Williams sent off, red card, bad tackle on Lions winger, NZ down to 14 men if the Lions don't win now they never will.

At last! After 17 years, a referee who stood up to the All Black bully-boys, well done Sir.

Great win
But
Let's be honest the all blacks played with 14 men ...rightfully so
And misskicked their penalty kicks
Things could have been so different
But
Well done the Lions you had a win
Now you have to reface a team of 15 and win
Fingers crossed for a great last game

Great advert for the game of Rugby (both codes)

Cannot wait for Saturday.

My heart says the Lions my head says the All Blacks. Just hope its a great game and not an anti climax

C'mon the Lions

BTW - how may fans did the lions have out there! Amazing trip. Not sure the wife would be too impressed if I told her I was going. (unless of course I took her)
