I have to say (and i have no coaching knowledge) but i think that there is a stronger team available... I would have started Itoje and Lawes... Plus Nowell and Daly as wingers. Farrell at 12 (and kicking) Biggar as fly half and perhaps Rory best to start as captain and hooker. Sexton and Alun Wyn should not be in the test sides! Just my opinion of course!

Winning drivers at Le mans, Americas Cup winners, we should be allright against the Lions - not a bad week for Kiwi sport .
Down your way Henry in a couple of weeks, might pop in to feast my eyes on the cars.

Don't forget to sample the chocolate cake Depending on how the two remaining Lions test go, Henry may or may not have chocolate cake on offer to passing kiwis......

Well, that was a damn close run thing, but well done to the Lions. I sincerely doubt we'd have won but for the (wholly deserved) sending of of Sonny Bill Williams.
Not such thrilling rugby to watch as last week's match perhaps, but now it's game on for the 3rd test.

I thought that the Lions defence worked well, but there were still too many mistakes and far too many penalties given away.
Still, on to Auckland and I wouldn't like to predict who will win this series.
ps Just read that Sonny Bill Williams has received a 4 week ban for that shoulder charge.

Tremendous Test. A great mix of everything in rugby.
I hear Sean O'Brian is up for a disciplinary hearing too.
I am really looking forward to T3.
I am looking forward to the team announcement too!
A number of player vieing for inclusion. I reckon the weather forecast will be scrutinised before final decision.

Startling isnt it that an area with a population of 70m and the resources that go with that struggle to beat a nation of 4 million.
