I'm assuming you have no time for Shane Williams then since he was in floods of tears in his last Wales game?

Keep watching sonny. Big question is can the main Lions side score a try.

Gee look Gwlad, that's what they call a try. Your boys have yet to experience one of those but hey, keep trying with those little three pointers.

North Doh

Maori have shown nothing so far, but one mistake and they're in. All came from Lions not protecting their ball after Itoje won a fine turnover in midfield.

That's all it takes for this side. They'll feast off scraps if they have to. Where the Lions will nibble at the banquet thumbsup

Fine break from Davies, but once more the Lions fail to finish it off. Halfpenny penalty puts them back in front, but should have been more.

I think that Kruis is very lucky there, clear elbow to head. He was in the air for the charge down but could/should have done better there.

Kruis has also been at the heart of all the breakdowns in Lions attacks, very unusual for him.

perfectly sums up that you know nowt about rugby old man....an opportunistic try from a Lions mistake, Maori are being outclassed in every facet with about 600% more tackling hanging on by their finger nails

At last the real Sexton has arrived in NZ. Jonathon Davies playing well also even if he still struggles with the final pass.

Yeah he's going to start crying in about twenty minutes so better leave him be.

Maori look like they've absorbed the early stuff and the Lions forwards are starting to struggle.

Maori backs haven't even started yet.

Stupid from Furlong, ref clearly tells him to release and Maoris not going anywhere, daft penalty to give away.

All a bit uninspiring so far. Sexton's looked sharp, as has Davies, which is good.

Itoje with another fine turnover at the breakdown, means Lions go in with a HT lead. Bit silly not knowing the new law there, but no damage done.

I think the Maoris have been a bit disappointing so far, not really showing anything in attack. Lions have played their usual structured, controlled game, but aside from a couple of breaks from Davies haven't really threatened either.

10 - 12 at half time. An opportunist try for the MAB's but some very uninspiring stuff from the Lions. Halfpenny doing exactly what he was brought in to do by kicking the points when on offer.

The Lions just look rushed and I fear that if the MAB's get more ball in the second half, they may stretch their legs and the Lions may struggle.

To be fair to the Maori the Lions test side are very good in defence. The Crusaders found that out. It's just their lack of composure, vision and skill sets that limit their try scoring ability that lets them down. They haven't really looked like scoring a try.
