Very inexperienced New Zealand Barbarians side, up against a strong B & I Lions side…
How good are these Lions???
Lions players out on the field!!!
Barbarians side also on the field!
NZ Maori challenge!!
Formalities done… let the game begin!!
Game ON!
Kick-Off by the New Zealand Barbarians!
Baabaas penalty!
Good phase play and taking it wide by the Baabaas to start off!!!
They kick into the corner!
Penalty advantage!
Back they go for the penalty!
Again Gatland kicks it out on the 5m line for the attacking lineout!
Turnover Lions scrum on their own 5m line.
Knock from a kick by the Baabaas right wing…
Lions penalty, for offside, just outside the Lions 22.
Another Lions penalty for offside, 8m or so inside the Baabaas half… shot at goal it is!
Missed to the right…
Lions scrum, outside the Baabaas 22, middle of the field!
Good Baabaas defence!!
Lions lose the ball in contact!
Baabaas run it, from deeep inside their own 22! They want to play ball!!
Lions penalty, offside by No 8 and No 13! Shot it is… this should be the 1st points on tour!
NZ Barbarians 0 / 3 B & I Lions
Baabaas over the Lions line… held up!!
Inga Finau injured, shoulder gone… replaced!
Knocked 5m out by the Baabaas…
One can see the New Zealand style of play in the NZ Baabaas… typical New Zealand Super Rugby franchise type of play…
Baabaas penalty advantage… they play on… tryyyyyyyyy by the captain, Sam Anderson-Heather!!
NZ Barbarians 7 / 3 Lions
Very impressed with the Baabaas committment on defence and their willingness to run… as well as the passion they have shown!
Lions 5m penalty, against Bryn Gatland!
Lions opt to scrum… attacking options both sides… very dangerous place to attack from!
Baabaas penalty… quickly kaken by Bryn Gatland… not back 10m… so the penalty is marched 10m away from the Baabaas line…
Bryn Gatland is like the Energizer Bunny, he is everywhere!!
Sexton overcooks a cross-kick, directly out…
I am not impressed by the Lions fluidity in play… they have the harder, heavier pack, but the younger and more inexperienced Baabaas are up for it!
Sincler is down injured for the Lions… the heaviest man on the park…
