There is nothing like a good prediction. And that was nothing like a good prediction....:D

Wow! There is nothing more to say.

No need for spoiler alerts - anyone not watching it live does not need to be taken into account - they need to be taken into care...........

Am I allowed to claim I got the Romain Poite comment spot on? Anyway I have waited all my life for a Lions performance like that - that ranks ahead of anything (and I am old enough to remember) from 1971 or 1974, both widely regarded as the pinnacle of Lions history. Brian Moore has tweeted about how good Corbisiero was in the tight - correct, and the Aussie yellow card was a direct result of front row dominance that Aus could not match.

I will check to make sure that points total of 41 is a Lions Test record, but I'm damn sure it is.

Re: The Lions
 

Funnily enough at 13-19 and with the Lions appearing to tire, my prediction was looking worryingly accurate...but then Gatland made his substitutions and that effectively transformed the match. Now for the Ashes.

Re: The Lions
 

24 different players (plus 'penalty try') scored tries on the tour - another record, I would imagine...........

Re: The Lions
 

It was totally worth the hangover.

I watched the 1997 tour in SA with my Dad and that got me hooked. I tried to justify what a Lions tour is to so many friends but unless you've been on a rugby tour overseas you have no idea what those chaps go through and what it means.

This tour has gone beyond all I hoped for and the final test yesterday was utterly enthralling and dominant from every position. The Lions battered the Aussies everywhere, the scrum was reminiscent of the SA's in the last Lions tour, just bigger, stronger and more powerful. We looked good everywhere....yes, even Toby Falehelmet (who will remain the worst No8 in world rugby).

I stand by my statement yesterday. I'd rather watch a whole lions tour than a whole RWC.

Re: The Lions
 

Great performance all round! The scrum was just immense and it good to finally get a ref who lets the front row do what the front row does best.

Re: The Lions
 

I watched 'Living with Lions' on the plane last week, it's a while since I last saw it but it's still one of the best sport documentaries of all time.

It encapsulates all that the Lions tours are about.

........... and a man who could have been a Lions legend (but pissed away his talent) receives a welcome from one of his new Bath team mates.......... :ohmy:

Carl Fearns - give that man a pat on the back.
