    Davies had a serious amount of work to do there after a bad offload.

    A bad offload...at least he offloaded under huge pressure. Does a native irish player offload there

    The Lions next year is going to be a painful debacle anyway.

    Maybe the midweek matches.

    But the Lions should have a 23 man team rather than a decent starting XV and nothing on the bench.

    Fekitoa has been borderline rubbbish for NZ in these 2 tests, I'd say he'd be sweating his spot. It's a pity BB can't goalkick because he is grease lightening otherwise at 10.

    Thought Read was MOTM, he was very everywhere and he's basically plays like a lock as well at lineout time.

    Hopefully Hansen rings the changes for next week, especially Sopoaga and McKenzie in the 23 please.

    Credit to Wales for not folding completely which looked possible at the 65 minute mark.

    But once again, the Lions will be a definite step-up on Wales I would think.

    Both Tamanivalu and Fekitoa could lose their squad places. Both were more awful than good today.

    Depends who the coach is... if they pick the best team rather than those they coach the lions might have a chance...

    It dosent take much to realise that the squad that went to aus would have gotten killed if that tour had been in NZ.

    Didn't see the game. Just read that the ref asked Reid if he was happy with one of his decisions (which was a somewhat leinent decision not to give a yellow card to a New Zealander)

    Did it look bad during the game?

    nah. sanjay was already milking the dive in midair. it was one of those mid air collisions that wasn't an issue three years ago but for some reason is now an "offence"

    Both Fiji and Tonga could have done with them, but the allure of the All Blacks Jersey was too much! From the Super rugby I have seen I think Tamivalu is a very talented player, especially with offloads, Fekitoa is hit an miss for me, still talented tho.

    Will Gatland be a cert for the Lions now, he has presided over what I presume will be a whitewash defeat, in Wales -v- New Zealand ( Unless Wales can get there lineout sorted , and bring the all Blacks into some sort of bashfest, were Wales might have a chance), and the one midweek fixture against the Chiefs, Wales were hammered!

    Dont think Gatland would achieve anything different with the Lions down there.

    On the face of it wouldn't mind Gatty being Lions coach. He'd select a boatload of Welsh lads and get his arse handed to him. Save the Irish lads getting injured playing tests they'll inevitably lose :P

    I think with Gatland as coach the Lions are serious underdogs. He only just scraped a series win in 2013 over the worst Aussie side I can remember. His record with Wales against SH opposition says it all really. Remember their inability to score against a 13 man Australia in the RWC as well?

    For whatever issues NZ may have had at the weekend it's still just the start of their post-Carter/McCaw era. They'll improve. And yet they still showed that they have that seriously clinical edge to them in the 10 minute period where they won the game.

    This test served as a reminder of how brilliant Ben Smith is. Can switch from a world class fullback to world class wing effortlessly.

    With the retirement last month of Fanj, I think we can start to consider it.
