Lions penalty advantage…
Lions play a Blues player in the air… TMO asked to look!
Clearly taken in the air… could be a Card…
No Card, just a penalty…
Sinckler on for Cole… for the Lions.
The Lions WILL NOT win this way against the All Blacks…. no chance!!
2 Players up for a high ball again… looked fair to me!
TMO
Think Williams is going to get yellow here.
Williams involved again… and Williams clearly beaten in the air…
Yellow Card to Williams it is…
Number of Blues subs on…
Blues scrum, 1m outside the Lions 22.
Come on Blues!!
Forward pass ruled to Rieko Ioane… eish that looked flat to me!
Lions down to 14 men. Blues got their tails up now. Lions looking increasingly more frantic.
Gatland is going to cop some heavy critique independent of whether they pull this one out of the hat.
Lions will HAVE TO develop something that is NOT this predictable!
Think the Crusaders will thump the Lions on Saturday!!

Agree. They will be lucky if they won another match on this tour.
Lions penalty, not rolling away…
Shot at goal…
Blues 15 / 13 B & I Lions
Lions penalty advantage off a maul… back they go to the penalty!
All New Zealand rugby just setting the blueprint for the world in rugby….
If lions can force another penalty they might come out with a win.
Lions strong in the scrums and in the lineouts… good at the collisions… but simply no adequate creative play!
Lions scrum penalty, chance to take the lead here with a shot at goal from the 10m line.
Done just that (force a penalty). 10 minutes left on the clock. Enough time for blues to score another razzle dazzle try.
Blues 15 / 16 B & I Lions
Lions in the lead…
9 Minutes left in the match
Lions turnover scrum, player held up in the maul…. Lions forwards pumped up about it!
Very intetedting how lions won that turn over. Rotated the forward driving blue player.
Don’t think the Lions deserve a win here… really I don’t!!
Tryyyyyyyyyyyy Ihaia West, Blues!
Boooomfa!!
