The Lions struggled to win against a 14 man team. And if the All Blacks kicker had converted all their penalties then they would have won easily.
So a great result today but there's a gulf between the teams
Despite the win The Lions have quite rightly pointed to the number of penalties they gave away to the All Blacks that so nearly culminated in series defeat. At international level the importance of rugby discipline is oh so vital. Giving cheap penalties away can often make the difference.
If the Lions can avoid repeating that next week and play to their full potential it is not impossible for them to get a series win. However I still expect the All Blacks to win at Eden Park where their record is very strong.
The good thing is Gatland's named an unchanged side, but Eden Park will be a cauldron of noise from Start to finish Let's hope today is the day rugby history is made!!
New Zealand are defending an incredible 38 game winning streak, since losing a match to France in July 1994 (NZ20 - FRA23) and drawing once - 18 - 18 V South Africa
The All Blacks are down to 14 men for the next 10 mins. The Lions need to take the advantage.
Currently score 12-7 for New Zealand
Wow Some Game Farrell makes it 15-15 after 78 mins and bit of Controversy with a TMO ruling but match and series ends in a Draw
Gawd blimey that last ditch Farrell pen only just made it - PHEW
I think that Gatlin must have played his 'get out of jail' card.
