Who do the sages thibk will win this one?
My gut feeling is that NZ will win but the English Welsh & Irish Lions will put up more resistance than most think.
Earlier today Fiji beat Scotland.
Fiji 27/22.

Fiji 27/22 Scotland. Well done Fiji.
Didn’t watch the match but from what I read Fiji were dominant which forced Scotland into too many mistakes, bad passes and restarts, 30 missed tackles, conceeding too many penalties. This in spite of the close looking scoreline and the fact Scotland scored 3 tries and Fiji 2 with 1 of Fiji tries scored off a forward pass and was allowed because there was apparently no TMO which seems odd. John Barclay conceeded Scotland didn’t deserve to win the game.

Wow!!
Nice to see a photo of the players from both teams together in a big circle on the field after the game.
Contrast of styles. Can the lions shut them down; force errors and score from those errors?
Can the AB open them up and razzle and dazzle them?
Wow, what a contest in promise. Lets hope it lives up to expectations.
Players out on the field and all lined up for the Anthems!
New Zealand Anthem up first!

Hi Gbs ja was thinking of getting up to watch at 3.30 but pleased chose to sleep would have been good game but disappointing result

No God Save the Queen…. strange!!
The Haka… it looks like Kapa O Panga!
Yesssss!
Ok, all the formalities are done!!
it’s English and there are a few Irishmen in there(incl the cappie) who might have a problem with the lyrics. And top of the morning to you folks.
Game ON!
Kick-Off by the All Blacks!
good pressure box kick Murray

I hear you… just strange not to have an anthem for them…
Try Daly, B & I Lions?
TMO

No try… but a great effort and a great try saver by Israel Dagg!
Morning All…. Long time no speak. 🙂
All Black relieving penalty, 6m from their own line… offside.

That’s because Ireland is a separate country with a different anthem.
