0:01:22 > 0:01:26- 12 months ago, when Gatland - brought his Wales squad here...
0:01:26 > 0:01:28- ..the dragons were hammered.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- The Lions will want to avoid - a repeat of that.

0:02:01 > 0:02:03- No Cruden, Cane or Retallick.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06- Four players have played - for the All Blacks.
0:02:06 > 0:02:11- It'll be interesting to see how - Brown, Sanders and Boshier play.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14- They caused Wales a headache - 12 months ago.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18- Stephen Donald - also tormented Gatland that night.
0:02:18 > 0:02:23- The international fly-half will - want a repeat performance tonight.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- This is the game no Lions player - wanted to play in.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30- With the First Test - on the horizon...
0:02:30 > 0:02:34- ..very few of these players will - expect to make the match day squad.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36- One or two could still make - the bench.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- Elliot Daly will hope to impress - in the back three...
0:02:39 > 0:02:42- ..along with Henderson and Lawes - in the second row.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45- Alun Wyn Jones makes the bench...
0:02:46 > 0:02:51- ..alongside four Welshmen and two - Scots who arrived on the weekend.
0:02:57 > 0:03:02- Rory Best leads the side - onto the field for this game.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06- Team spirit is crucial - for the Lions' squad.
0:03:07 > 0:03:12- This squad could inspire their - team-mates before the First Test.
0:03:13 > 0:03:18- Stephen Donald leads the chiefs - to the field in Waikato.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- 28,000, it's packed - to the rafters in Hamilton.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25- Donald will be hoping to do...
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- ..precisely what he did - to Wales last year.
0:03:33 > 0:03:39- Warren Gatland insists he hasn't - chosen his team for the First Test.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43- This is one final chance - to make an impression.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47- One final chance to secure a place - in the test squad.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52- Elliot Daly will be hoping - to be one of those players.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55- He's started well - with that thumping tackle.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02- A first touch for Stephen Donald. - It's an accurate kick.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06- Gwyn, no Lions player - wanted to play in this game.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07- Is it too late for these players?
0:04:07 > 0:04:09- Is it too late for these players?- - I think it is.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13- I think one or two players - could get on to the bench.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- A second row - or one of the back three.
0:04:16 > 0:04:21- Liam Williams or Elliot Daly, - Alun Wyn or Henderson.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26- Lawes had a great start to - his last game before being replaced.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30- Good kick from Biggar. Biggar's - not happy being third choice.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35- It's a penalty against Henderson - for the tackle in the air.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38- A chance to attack.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43- It'll be interesting to see how - teams cope with the rush defence.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- Teams have had a lot of time - to prepare for it.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50- Donald's kick. - I think they'll go back.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54- They'll have the line-out - if they opt for the kick this time.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13- Henshaw came in, - Christie was still in the air.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- An early attacking position - for the Chiefs.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21- When the Lions - are in this position, they drive.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24- Lawes jumped well. - That was important.
0:05:25 > 0:05:30- CJ Stander. He'll be frustrated - not to make the test squad.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32- He has plenty to prove.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34- Dan Biggar.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38- Good distance. Away go the Chiefs.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41- What was wrong there? - Was he in touch?
0:05:49 > 0:05:50- What are the options here?
0:05:50 > 0:05:51- What are the options here?- - Catch and drive.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- No.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- They miss out Dan Biggar. - Straight to Henshaw.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00- The big man in midfield.
0:06:02 > 0:06:07- Even when you think the unexpected - happens, you know what to expect.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- Daly. We've mentioned his name - time after time.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15- He's definitely a bench option, - as is Liam Williams.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17- And Courtney Lawes.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23- Alun Wyn Jones is on the bench. - He won't be happy with that.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27- Jack Nowell. - He off-loads to James Haskell.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31- Quick ball.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- Hands in midfield. Rory Best.
0:06:36 > 0:06:41- The ball's been slowed down. - Laidlaw tries to tidy up. Biggar.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- Payne to Henshaw. Centres and wings.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50- Dan Cole. There are gaps - in the chiefs' defence.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- James Haskell once again.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- Rory Best for the second time. - Down he goes.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06- Biggar. Payne.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- The Chiefs aren't competing - on the ground.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- They choose their rucks - leaving plenty of defenders free.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18- Can the Lions off-load? It was - Nowell's off-load that started this.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21- They go into the tackle - and the ball goes to ground.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23- They need something different.
0:07:23 > 0:07:31- Tipuric. Rory Best has the ball - for the third time in the move.
0:07:31 > 0:07:32- Payne, Henshaw.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- Nowell. He started things off.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- They need to turn this pressure - into points.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44- They have to retain possession here.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49- Laidlaw. Best was flat.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57- Stander. A burst of power - and energy from him.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- Haskell waits. Haskell claims it.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- Marler. They must be off-side.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08- Play advantage. Six black off-side.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12- 20 phases, that's incredible. - Dan Biggar.
0:08:12 > 0:08:17- The ball goes to ground. Advantage - was being played, penalty Lions.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21- It's disappointing that they - couldn't get more from there.
0:08:21 > 0:08:26- Unfortunately, as they get closer - and closer to the line...
0:08:26 > 0:08:31- ..they stick to the driving maul - instead of spreading the ball.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35- The power was evident, - as we've seen throughout the tour.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39- The Lions pack can carry the ball - and gain hard yards.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43- They couldn't quite turn - that advantage into more points.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47- Here we go, this is where - it started, with an off-load.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- Nowell with a half-break. - He manages to off-load.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53- That's the spark the Lions need.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57- Nine minutes, 3-0.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- Henderson. He's on the ground.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09- The Chiefs are trying - to speed up the game.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13- They're trying to stop - this rushing defence.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- They're going backwards. - It's there for Williams.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- They're up quickly. - Maybe not so much that time.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28- Dan Cole. He goes to ground.
0:09:30 > 0:09:35- Biggar was up. If you go up quickly, - there are gaps behind you. Pulu.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38- He slips. They want quick ball.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42- Boshier. Donald. - They spread the ball, great hands.
0:09:42 > 0:09:47- Marler in with the tackle, - but did he use his arms properly?
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- Maybe we'll come back, - maybe we won't.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04- Henderson rips the ball.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- There's an injury on the far side. - Let's see this again.
0:10:08 > 0:10:13- Pulu has a knee injury, - he went to the ground in pain.
0:10:14 > 0:10:20- I need to check a potential tackle - by red. Without the ball.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25- Just confirming we'll have a check - on potential foul play by one red.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29- It's Laulala.
0:10:30 > 0:10:31- Ooh!
0:10:31 > 0:10:33- The ball was nowhere near him.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37- The player was off-guard.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41- There's no justification for that.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45- The question is, yellow or red?
0:10:46 > 0:10:48- I think it'll be a yellow, - but he's lucky.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55- Yes, Best agrees with the yellow.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58- He was worried - about seeing red there.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01- During last Saturday's game - against the Maoris...
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- ..the Chiefs' Kerr-Barlow - had a yellow card.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07- Marler gets the same.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17- With Marler in the sin-bin, - Alan Dell is on.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19- 10 caps for Scotland.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21- A week ago - you would have asked "who"?
0:11:21 > 0:11:26- He's not one of the stars of the - Scotland team but he's now a Lion.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28- His side of the scrum - has done its job.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- He couldn't have hoped - for a better contribution.
0:11:31 > 0:11:36- They showed great patience then. - They didn't move initially.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38- Congratulations for Dell.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41- Jared Payne was in the scrum - adding his weight.
0:11:43 > 0:11:44- Alan Dell.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48- If this is his only contribution - to the Lions, he'll be happy.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57- Untidy at the back. Tipuric. - The ball in his hands, quick feet.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59- He's a great ball carrier.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02- Tipuric looks lively tonight.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06- Stander. - They turn to him time after time.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- Brown slows the ball down. - Biggar with the kick.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- Christie has caught it. - Back we go again.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23- He wins valuable yards. - He's caught under the body.
0:12:23 > 0:12:28- He tries to move out of the way - but Brown is slowing down the ball.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- Biggar. He's now scored - over 300 international points.
0:12:35 > 0:12:41- He's building his points total - and he's building the Lions' score.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43- He's done that. The Lions lead 6-0.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46- They creep forward gradually.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53- The Chiefs have lost two line-outs.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- They almost lost another. - That was clean.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59- Here's Donald. He uses his backs.
0:12:59 > 0:13:04- Biggar and Tipuric have done well - with the choke tackle.
0:13:04 > 0:13:09- In the end they go to ground, - there are hands on the ground.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11- Off goes Christie.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18- Tipuric has caught the eye tonight. - He's up quickly in defence.
0:13:22 > 0:13:27- Strong defence in the centre. - Biggar and Tipuric in particular.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30- Lawes was off his feet, - he was resting on his arms.
0:13:30 > 0:13:36- The lively scrum-half, - Finlay Christie, needs a word.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47- This man won the World Cup - with New Zealand.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50- Stephen Donald, he's a great kicker.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54- The first points on the scoreboard - for the Chiefs.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02- The Lions have seen - plenty of the ball.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06- They're controlling the game. - They have a great platform.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09- They create problems - with all the possession they have.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12- What can they do here - - can they score a try?
0:14:14 > 0:14:17- It's the direct route - down the middle again.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- Biggar creates some space. - Nowell on the far side.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- Liam Williams finds him. - The Lions need to be patient.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26- They should be looking for the try.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30- Stander, not for the first time, - he drags in the defenders.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33- Laidlaw looks right. - He goes left. Marler.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37- They should be looking - to give the ball some width.
0:14:38 > 0:14:39- Biggar goes himself.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45- Nowell. Try time for the Lions.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52- He spotted the gap, - straight down the middle...
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- ..and the Lions - score the game's first try.
0:14:56 > 0:15:01- A crucial contribution - by Liam Williams in the move.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03- His pass created the gap.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08- He beats his man off the ball. - Williams turns in.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- After that, - the Chiefs' defence can't respond.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14- They don't have the time - to reorganise.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19- There was a huge gap behind the - ruck, Nowell was quick to spot it.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22- Liam Williams offered - something different...
0:15:22 > 0:15:26- ..that X factor that's been missing - from the attacking line.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36- The final minute of the first half. - The Lions are in control.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40- The pack have done the hard work. - The defence has controlled the game.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44- Here's one player who's shone - - Christie.
0:15:44 > 0:15:50- Once again, this shows what teams - in New Zealand can do in space.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54- This time, - their passing has let them down.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00- Christie works hard but - the Chiefs don't have a scrum-half.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03- They have a penalty - but they'll want more.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08- The defence was up quickly.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12- How many times have we seen - Dan Biggar rushing up?
0:16:17 > 0:16:22- They've hardly had the opportunity - to attack from the scrum or line.
0:16:22 > 0:16:28- When the Lions don't have a strong - defensive line, they can attack.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39- This will be the final action - of the first half.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41- Donald converts.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45- The Lions have edged the possession - and territory stats.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47- They lead at half-time.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49- Chiefs 6 - Lions 13.
0:16:51 > 0:16:51- .
0:16:57 > 0:16:59- Subtitles- - Subtitles
0:17:04 > 0:17:06- Welcome back.
0:17:06 > 0:17:11- The half-time score is 13-6 - in Waikato.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15- The Chiefs' coaching team - have suggested...
0:17:15 > 0:17:18- ..that the younger players - enjoyed the first half.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21- They enjoyed the challenge maybe.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25- It's a dream come true - for some of them...
0:17:25 > 0:17:28- ..playing in front of a full house - in Hamilton.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45- Daly. A flat pass to Stander.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49- They're threatening.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53- They're in control, they look - strong. It's all about power.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56- They're slowly gaining territory.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00- Goodness me. - Liam Williams into the elbow.
0:18:00 > 0:18:05- That's what happens - when you run into the forwards.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10- I'd be surprised if we don't see - that again. No arms in the tackle.
0:18:10 > 0:18:11- Joe Marler.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14- The Lions might get a penalty...
0:18:14 > 0:18:17- ..but Liam Williams - has learnt a painful lesson.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20- We play on. Rory Best.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24- His hopes are diminishing - with some wayward line-out throws.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27- A great tackle on Henshaw.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29- Biggar. Payne.
0:18:32 > 0:18:37- The Chiefs are under intense - pressure in Hamilton. Haskell.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49- These powerful runs are gaining - plenty of yards at the moment.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52- Once again, - the Chiefs are up quickly.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54- This time, Stevenson was up.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59- Where's the ball? - Play on says the referee.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02- Christie, on the blind-side.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04- Donald.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09- Best tackles him. - Stander in support.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11- The game is opening up.
0:19:14 > 0:19:19- The Lions' defence is creaking. - Henshaw has stolen it. Dan Cole.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22- Haskell, Tipuric. Henshaw.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- Nowell. - They're drifting across field.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29- That's better. - The game's opening up.
0:19:29 > 0:19:34- Counter-attacking. It's the first - time the Chiefs have opened it up.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38- Here's Henshaw. - Marler is having treatment.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41- Best is isolated. - He needs to be careful.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45- Henshaw and Daly are in support - to secure the ball.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51- Christie throws his body - into the tackle. It's effective.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54- Courtney Lawes is going backwards.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58- Daly's not happy about something - but play goes on.
0:19:59 > 0:20:04- The Chiefs have stepped up a gear. - The home crowd has found its voice.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08- Biggar. He can't go for touch.
0:20:09 > 0:20:10- He goes for distance.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15- The Chiefs return it.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17- Here's Tiatia.
0:20:18 > 0:20:19- Faauli.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25- I need to catch my breath - - this is non-stop.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29- Marler's still receiving treatment. - He has a bandage on his head.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31- Christie.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36- The defence is starting to tire. - They're not coming up as quickly.
0:20:37 > 0:20:38- Donald.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41- There's more room to off-load.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48- The ball has been in play - for some time.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51- This is working - in the Chiefs' favour.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53- They've lost the ball.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58- What will the Lions do? - Do they want to slow it down?
0:20:58 > 0:21:01- Laidlaw's seen some space, - he breaks the tackle.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- Donald's on the ground. - There's a penalty coming.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09- Biggar. Back we go.
0:21:11 > 0:21:16- The most open piece of action - in this game and on tour so far.
0:21:22 > 0:21:23- Alun Wyn Jones is on.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28- He will want his presence felt - as he organises the forwards.
0:21:28 > 0:21:29- Tipuric.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31- Tipuric.- - A chance to put this game to bed.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34- Best. They've pulled it down again.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37- What will the referee say? - Henderson.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39- Henderson over the line.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41- Penalty try, - the only choice for the referee.
0:21:44 > 0:21:49- It was inevitable. The second - penalty try on tour for the Lions.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53- The line-out drive is a very useful - weapon for the Lions.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55- There's a yellow card on the way.
0:21:56 > 0:22:01- The power of the Lions' pack - was too much once again.
0:22:04 > 0:22:09- Mitch Brown. He's off - to the sin-bin for 10 minutes.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11- Seven points for the Lions.
0:22:12 > 0:22:17- They've grabbed hold of this game - through the power of the pack...
0:22:17 > 0:22:19- ..and the destructive defence.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27- A few of them - were on the wrong side.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30- Brown was identified as the culprit.
0:22:36 > 0:22:42- The Lions are trying to disrupt - the Chiefs' calls and teamwork.
0:22:42 > 0:22:43- It's worked.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46- It's not in the spirit of the game - but it's effective.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49- What can the Lions offer from deep?
0:22:49 > 0:22:52- Liam Williams, Daly. - How quick is Daly?
0:22:52 > 0:22:56- He looks inside to Payne. - Payne to Henshaw.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59- Henshaw into the 22. - They need quick ball.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03- Haskell does brilliantly, - he's drawn in the defence.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08- Biggar. Nowell. Best is outside him.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11- Nowell for the second time. - What a try for the Lions.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15- We've been waiting for them - to play this kind of rugby.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18- They've broken loose - and they've scored a try.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21- This is a warning to New Zealand.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25- They spread the ball wide - and get it to the wings quickly.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28- Daly's pace beats - the oncoming defence.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30- A great pass back inside to Payne.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34- The move almost broke down - when Lawes had the ball.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38- When it came back, - they could see the gaps.
0:23:39 > 0:23:45- Out wide. Nowell, he's had a better - game tonight than his first two.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51- Just veering back inside. - The defence couldn't get to him.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54- A great try for the Lions.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02- Dan Biggar was eager - to make an impact in this game.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05- He wasn't happy - being third choice fly-half.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09- Some of his fellow players - have felt the same.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13- An hour played and the Lions - have built up a comfortable lead.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23- The dirt-trackers. That's the term - used for the midweek players.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26- Some say they have little chance - of playing in the tests.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30- Warren Gatland claims - he hasn't picked his team quite yet.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33- Rory Best.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37- He's showed up well in open play...
0:24:37 > 0:24:41- ..but his throwing in - hasn't been accurate.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47- Dan Cole.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53- He was on the bench in Australia - for the three tests.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55- Henderson.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57- Good skills in the end.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01- Biggar almost lost the ball - so he kicked it.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03- Great off-load by Stevenson.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08- Any advantage? No, they play on.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12- Liam Messam.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15- This is his 150th appearance - for the Chiefs.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- No-one has played more games - for the Chiefs.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22- He scored the Maori try - against the Lions on the weekend.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27- Williams. The Chiefs' supporters - want to see more of this.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30- They've hardly had - any opportunities.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34- They Lions' defence - has been solid...
0:25:34 > 0:25:40- ..especially with the rush defence - closing down the opposition.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45- Nowell. Two tries for him.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49- Here's Liam Williams at pace. - Into space, great from Williams.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51- He off-loads to Payne.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56- Payne with the try, - but the magic from Liam Williams.
0:26:00 > 0:26:05- I thought Liam had half a chance - of being in the test squad.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09- He might not be there but he's shown - New Zealand what he can do...
0:26:09 > 0:26:13- ..with that run - and the way he's shone tonight.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21- He changes direction, always awake - to the chance to counter-attack.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23- A great off-load.
0:26:33 > 0:26:38- With the victory secured, sights - will now turn to the All Blacks.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41- What have we learnt about - Warren Gatland's masterplan?
0:26:41 > 0:26:45- As everyone foresaw, - it's the Warrenball game.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48- Strong runners up the middle, - gaining the hard yards.
0:26:49 > 0:26:50- The kicking game is important.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53- The aerial battle - will be just as important.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57- Even though - the All Blacks are confident...
0:26:57 > 0:27:02- ..they will be concerned - by the Lions' blitz defence...
0:27:02 > 0:27:06- ..and the domination of the - Lions' pack against the Crusaders.
0:27:07 > 0:27:12- They've dominated so many teams and - suffocated them out of the games.
0:27:12 > 0:27:17- If there's one side that can unlock - a defence and think on their feet...
0:27:17 > 0:27:20- ..the All Blacks are that team.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24- Rory Best does well - not to get penalised.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29- He might be penalised - for an accidental infringement.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31- The Chiefs try something.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34- They're trying to unlock - a defence...
0:27:34 > 0:27:37- ..they've failed to unlock - for 73 minutes.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42- The discipline, Marler apart, - has been good tonight.
0:27:43 > 0:27:48- Conceding penalties has been - a problem for them during the tour.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53- Elliot. An international hooker - on as a replacement.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57- Stevenson. The ball goes to ground.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00- Tipuric. Great hands. - Lawes also does well.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02- Stander. Biggar.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05- He looks up and kicks. - He finds space.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07- Nowell is up on his own.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14- Tiatia, faster than Stander.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17- The short pass. What a great skill.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20- We haven't seen much of that.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23- Back to Liam Williams, - the pass and the angle.
0:28:23 > 0:28:28- Great work from Seymour. Seymour. - Support on the far side.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30- Seymour with the pass.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33- Once again, - they can't find that final pass.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39- Stevenson, into Best.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46- He was planted into the ground - by the hooker.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49- What a chance, created by Seymour.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53- He split the defence with his run.
0:28:53 > 0:28:57- Great hands and the kick. - He lost control of the ball.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00- Just there, - just trying to continue the move.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05- A great angle and teamwork - from the back three.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07- Seymour had done all the hard work.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10- He only needed a good pass - and Payne would have been over.
0:29:10 > 0:29:11- It was a terrible pass.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15- Terrible.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22- Payne did well - to catch up with his full-back.
0:29:22 > 0:29:27- They might only get - one chance against the All Blacks.
0:29:27 > 0:29:28- They'll have to take it.
0:29:29 > 0:29:30- Ooh, what a hit!
0:29:41 > 0:29:46- No sign of the six wise men - on the bench, the replacements.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49- Warren Gatland - might be silencing his critics.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54- Who's caught your eye, Gwyn?
0:29:55 > 0:29:58- Who might have secured a place - on the bench?
0:29:58 > 0:30:04- The back three have shone for me - - Williams, Nowell and Daly.
0:30:04 > 0:30:08- I think Biggar's defensive work - has been good...
0:30:08 > 0:30:11- ..but he's behind - two good fly-halves.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14- The same is true of Justin Tipuric.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16- He's shown up well in defence.
0:30:17 > 0:30:22- The Lions don't play a style that - requires his attacking skills often.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26- With two No.7s with a different - style ahead of him...
0:30:26 > 0:30:30- ..he can't do much - to dislodge Warburton and O'Brien.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32- They have shown that they can play.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36- No-one would lose sleep - if they were in the test squad.
0:30:37 > 0:30:41- The Chiefs can play well too, - given the opportunity.
0:30:41 > 0:30:45- They've won two Super Rugby titles - in the past five years.
0:30:48 > 0:30:53- Warren Gatland hasn't used the bench - and that's intentional.
0:30:53 > 0:30:58- He doesn't want to use these players - unless there's an emergency.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02- He's sticking with the players - he chose in the first place.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06- Liam Williams. Does the bounce - work in his favour? No.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10- A little untidy. We'll get a scrum.
0:31:17 > 0:31:22- Warren Gatland has kept - his two locks on the pitch.
0:31:23 > 0:31:30- That suggests that Alun Wyn will be - on the bench against the All Blacks.
0:31:30 > 0:31:34- I'd say that the team that started - against the Maoris...
0:31:35 > 0:31:39- ..with O'Mahony as captain - and Warburton on the bench...
0:31:39 > 0:31:42- ..and Alun Wyn on the bench, - that's my test team.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44- The outside-half?
0:31:45 > 0:31:47- Owen Farrell - will be the outside-half.
0:31:48 > 0:31:49- Elliot.
0:31:50 > 0:31:56- Williams. The Lions look comfortable - even when they're defending.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59- It's a penalty.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05- The Chiefs come once again.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09- Elliot, the international hooker. - Messam, the international No.8.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14- Two replacements who've injected - energy into the Chiefs' play.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16- The final minute.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20- Stevenson.
0:32:21 > 0:32:26- A try now would satisfy - the packed home crowd.
0:32:26 > 0:32:30- There's no way through - and Biggar hoofs it downfield.
0:32:30 > 0:32:36- It's been an organised performance, - full of power. It's been effective.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39- It's not been pretty at times.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42- Will we see some enterprise - right at the end?
0:32:43 > 0:32:46- Cole once again - overstretching the mark.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48- Why does he do that?
0:32:50 > 0:32:52- He's a prop.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57- We've seen very few attacks - from the Chiefs.
0:32:57 > 0:33:02- They've hardly seen the ball - or gone through the phases.
0:33:02 > 0:33:08- The Lions' defensive power - has extinguished the Chiefs' hopes.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11- The clock is red.
0:33:13 > 0:33:17- This is a comfortable victory - for the Lions.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25- The confidence will filter - right through the squad.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28- It will create some doubts - in the minds...
0:33:28 > 0:33:31- ..of Beauden Barrett - and Sonny Bill Williams.
0:33:31 > 0:33:35- They will apply - so much defensive pressure.
0:33:35 > 0:33:40- The Crusaders pack were taken apart - by the Lions' power.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43- Can they withstand - the Lions' power...
0:33:43 > 0:33:46- ..and create a platform - to release their backs?
0:33:46 > 0:33:48- We can't wait.
0:33:50 > 0:33:54- Dan Cole has been re-energised - over the past 20 minutes.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59- He regains possession, - Williams clears to touch.
0:34:00 > 0:34:04- That victory will give the Lions - confidence.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07- They've climbed another hill - in New Zealand.
0:34:07 > 0:34:13- The mountain they face on Saturday - will take some climbing.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15- Preparations are almost over.
0:34:15 > 0:34:20- They face the biggest challenge - in the rugby world on Saturday.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23- Beating the All Blacks - in New Zealand.
0:34:23 > 0:34:28- They've won in Waikato - - the final score is 34-6.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32- Well, the Lions controlled - that game.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36- A comfortable victory - to satisfy Warren Gatland.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39- The Jones boys will - analyse the game after the break.
0:34:39 > 0:34:40- .
0:34:45 > 0:34:47- Subtitles- - Subtitles
0:34:49 > 0:34:53- Chiefs 6 - Lions 34.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56- An important victory - for the visitors...
0:34:56 > 0:34:58- ..four days before the First Test.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01- We'll dissect the game - in the studio in a moment.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04- First, the reaction from Hamilton.
0:35:04 > 0:35:09- We're getting stronger and stronger - against the best attacking teams...
0:35:09 > 0:35:13- ..in world rugby who score - multiple tries week in week out.
0:35:13 > 0:35:18- We're starting to strangle them - in the way that we're defending.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24- On Saturday, we're up against - the best team in the world...
0:35:24 > 0:35:28- ..in their own backyard, a place - they haven't been beaten since 1994.
0:35:28 > 0:35:33- It's going to be a completely - new level for us to be tested at.
0:35:33 > 0:35:37- When you win, it's a different - feeling in the changing rooms.
0:35:38 > 0:35:42- We've said in all games, we probably - should have won all the games.
0:35:42 > 0:35:46- We let teams off the hook - in the Blues and Highlanders games.
0:35:46 > 0:35:50- It's nice we put in - an 80-minute performance in today.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53- We're glad we came out on top - as a collective.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56- It's about getting supportive - of that 23.
0:35:57 > 0:36:01- It's not individual stuff here, - we're here to win a test series.
0:36:01 > 0:36:05- It's whoever can do a job, - holding pads and preparing boys.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09- It's up to us to do a job - for the boys selected.
0:36:09 > 0:36:14- We're happy with where we are - at the moment as a group of players.
0:36:14 > 0:36:18- Yes, the selection meeting tomorrow - will be tough.
0:36:18 > 0:36:22- That's the way you want it. - Guys put up their hand tonight.
0:36:22 > 0:36:26- There will be some - healthy debate about the test side.
0:36:27 > 0:36:31- Warren Gatland and his outside-half - sound happy with the performance.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34- It's another step forward - for the Lions.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37- I think so. It was another - excellent performance.
0:36:38 > 0:36:42- They're improving with every game. - That's the best performance so far.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46- Warren Gatland's stamp - was all over this performance.
0:36:46 > 0:36:51- Great defence and relentless - pressure for 80 minutes.
0:36:51 > 0:36:56- Some players put their hands up - to be selected for the First Test.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59- Warren Gatland says - he hasn't chosen his team yet.
0:37:00 > 0:37:04- I don't know how true that is. - It inspired the players today.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08- Dafydd, we've spoken about this - a number of times.
0:37:08 > 0:37:13- Andy Farrell will be very happy - with the defence today.
0:37:13 > 0:37:17- Very happy indeed. - The defence can win you games.
0:37:17 > 0:37:21- They started the tour shakily...
0:37:21 > 0:37:26- ..but they've improved and this - aspect has improved game on game.
0:37:26 > 0:37:30- They're up quickly, the hosts - were under constant pressure.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32- They forced the mistakes.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35- This will be all important - during the First Test.
0:37:35 > 0:37:39- The understanding - between the players is good.
0:37:39 > 0:37:43- They force the pass - and it doesn't go to the hands.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46- That will be very important - on the weekend.
0:37:47 > 0:37:53- They forced the errors - will that - tactic work against New Zealand?
0:37:53 > 0:37:56- They don't often make mistakes.
0:37:56 > 0:38:00- You're right. They have - some very talented players.
0:38:00 > 0:38:04- If there's no room, you can't play. - That's Warren Gatland's tactic.
0:38:05 > 0:38:10- He's closing down the space - and forcing the errors.
0:38:10 > 0:38:15- I'm sure Steve Hansen will watch - every game the Lions have played...
0:38:15 > 0:38:19- ..and with the players at his - disposal, he'll work something out.
0:38:20 > 0:38:24- Over the past few days, - Warren Gatland has highlighted...
0:38:24 > 0:38:29- ..to referees the intentional - blocking that's taking place.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31- It's paid dividends...
0:38:32 > 0:38:37- ..because Garces penalised - the Chiefs twice for it today.
0:38:37 > 0:38:42- We saw many instances of it - in this game today.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44- We often see it in the modern game.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46- When someone box kicks...
0:38:47 > 0:38:51- ..the wingers try to prevent - the oncoming player...
0:38:51 > 0:38:54- ..from competing for the ball.
0:38:54 > 0:39:01- In this instance, the winger - does a good job of preventing him.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03- It's a penalty.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06- We see this on a weekly basis - in the Pro12.
0:39:06 > 0:39:11- No matter what international team - or league, the good teams do this.
0:39:11 > 0:39:16- Warren Gatland has called this out, - he's already highlighted it.
0:39:16 > 0:39:21- The referees will be keeping - an eye out after his comments.
0:39:21 > 0:39:26- There is a feeling that the All - Blacks are more guilty than anyone.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29- We'll see what happens - in that First Test.
0:39:29 > 0:39:33- In terms of attack, - it was nice to see...
0:39:33 > 0:39:37- ..the open, counter-attacking play.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39- The tries came from those moves.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41- It was good to see.
0:39:41 > 0:39:45- There was a worry where - the tries were going to come from.
0:39:45 > 0:39:49- We saw the ball in hand - and they attacked at will.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52- Things were going in their favour - in the second half...
0:39:52 > 0:39:57- ..but the passing was good, - lovely angles from Liam Williams.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00- He was a giant on the pitch today.
0:40:00 > 0:40:04- They had a plan late in the game, - they kept the ball alive...
0:40:04 > 0:40:09- ..and the spaces appeared - in the defensive line.
0:40:09 > 0:40:15- They'll have grown in confidence - during this game as they move on.
0:40:15 > 0:40:19- They have been criticised - for not playing like this.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21- This is how New Zealand will play.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24- I'm sure they will.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26- For the first 60 minutes...
0:40:26 > 0:40:29- ..the power of the forwards - created the platform.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32- When the game opened up, - we had the players...
0:40:32 > 0:40:35- ..we already know - about Liam Williams...
0:40:36 > 0:40:40- ..but Jack Nowell featured, - Elliot Daly on the wing too.
0:40:41 > 0:40:45- We have plenty of players if we have - the time and space to play.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47- It was nice to see that - this morning.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51- Dafydd called Liam Williams a giant.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54- What stood out - in terms of his performance?
0:40:55 > 0:40:59- We saw glimpses of his form - for the Scarlets in recent seasons.
0:40:59 > 0:41:05- The bigger the game, the greater - the performance from Liam.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08- He throws himself into everything.
0:41:09 > 0:41:14- I love watching him play. Has he - done enough to play in the test?
0:41:14 > 0:41:17- Who knows, - but he did everything he could.
0:41:17 > 0:41:22- He's so determined, - winning the hard yards for his team.
0:41:22 > 0:41:27- He knows where he needs to be. - He's strong and deceptive.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30- He has the desire to go forward.
0:41:30 > 0:41:35- With Liam Williams, you're always - waiting for something to happen.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38- When he gets the ball, - you expect something.
0:41:38 > 0:41:43- He showed during the second half, - that he's good enough...
0:41:44 > 0:41:48- ..to play as a full-back or winger - for the test team.
0:41:48 > 0:41:54- There were question marks - about the backs for the First Test.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57- Have the back three done enough...
0:41:57 > 0:42:02- ..to cause Warren Gatland - some selection headaches?
0:42:02 > 0:42:05- I'd definitely put Liam Williams in.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08- I expect Leigh Halfpenny - to start at full-back.
0:42:09 > 0:42:13- George North will start - but I don't think he's done enough.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15- I'd play Liam on the wing.
0:42:15 > 0:42:19- With the Lions' blitz defence, - the All Blacks will kick a lot.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23- I think he'll target George North - on the wing.
0:42:23 > 0:42:28- He didn't deal with the ball - effectively against the Maoris.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30- North had a difficult time.
0:42:30 > 0:42:34- I think Liam would answer - any question thrown at him.
0:42:35 > 0:42:41- Let's have a look at the team Gwyn - Jones has picked for the First Test.
0:42:41 > 0:42:46- Do you disagree with - any of Dr Gwyn's selections?
0:42:46 > 0:42:50- It looks as if Owen Farrell - is back to full fitness.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52- He'll come in at outside-half.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55- Johnny Sexton - played well last Saturday...
0:42:56 > 0:43:00- ..but Owen Farrell is one of - the best players we have out there.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02- He has to play.
0:43:02 > 0:43:07- The pack will remain unchanged. - They did well last week.
0:43:08 > 0:43:11- CJ Stander played very well - this morning...
0:43:11 > 0:43:14- ..but for me, - after last Saturday's game...
0:43:15 > 0:43:19- ..we have a team that can compete - against the All Blacks.
0:43:19 > 0:43:22- They might not win - but they can compete.
0:43:22 > 0:43:26- There are names not on that list - - Courtney Lawes for example.
0:43:27 > 0:43:30- Justin Tipuric - also played well today.
0:43:30 > 0:43:34- The type of game played - suited his style of play.
0:43:34 > 0:43:38- He was great. He's a naturally - gifted rugby player.
0:43:38 > 0:43:41- Rarely do you see him - making a mistake.
0:43:41 > 0:43:43- He reads the game so well.
0:43:44 > 0:43:50- He's strong, he smothers the ball - here and wins his team a scrum.
0:43:50 > 0:43:55- If he was in the squad of 23, - he'd be over the moon.
0:43:55 > 0:44:00- He contributes in every game - he plays...
0:44:00 > 0:44:05- ..but I don't think - he'll make the match day squad.
0:44:05 > 0:44:09- Having said that, - he's done everything he can.
0:44:09 > 0:44:13- It underlines the strength - in the back row.
0:44:13 > 0:44:18- We'll continue this discussion - later as we look ahead to that game.
0:44:18 > 0:44:23- First, a number of supporters - have reached New Zealand.
0:44:23 > 0:44:26- There's also one rugby team - from Llanelli...
0:44:26 > 0:44:29- ..following in the Lions' footsteps.
0:44:33 > 0:44:36- The Lions weren't the only visitors - to Hamilton this week.
0:44:37 > 0:44:38- On the outskirts...
0:44:38 > 0:44:42- ..a team from West Wales - were on their own special tour.
0:44:43 > 0:44:47- We formed in a day centre - in Llanelli and it grew from there.
0:44:47 > 0:44:50- Half the team - have learning difficulties.
0:44:50 > 0:44:53- We play against local teams.
0:44:53 > 0:45:00- We want these boys to play rugby and - feel part of the rugby community.
0:45:00 > 0:45:03- Rugby is so important - to Llanelli and West Wales.
0:45:03 > 0:45:07- A lot of these boys - have missed out in the past.
0:45:07 > 0:45:10- This gives them a chance - to be part of something.
0:45:10 > 0:45:13- With a tour like this, - there's a lot of envy back home!
0:45:13 > 0:45:16- We're going out next week - to see Wales play in Samoa.
0:45:17 > 0:45:20- We're staying there for four days - and playing one game.
0:45:20 > 0:45:22- Then we return to Auckland.
0:45:22 > 0:45:27- We're looking forward, hopefully, - to a good win today.
0:45:37 > 0:45:39- They all enjoy it.
0:45:39 > 0:45:43- The way they play and prepare, it's - like playing for Wales for them.
0:45:43 > 0:45:48- It gives me pleasure to be able - to help them out with sponsorship.
0:45:48 > 0:45:50- My son, Andrew, they call him Bambi.
0:45:50 > 0:45:53- He's been playing for them - for four years.
0:45:54 > 0:45:57- Awesome, boys. Bambi got back - to tackle, Rhys as well.
0:45:57 > 0:46:01- We have an unbeaten record - in New Zealand to maintain.
0:46:02 > 0:46:04- We've been invited - to the training session...
0:46:05 > 0:46:07- ..with the Wales squad in Samoa.
0:46:14 > 0:46:15- Good bunch of boys.
0:46:16 > 0:46:20- Really good game from both teams - and some really good skills there.
0:46:20 > 0:46:23- It's a massive honour - to be part of this.
0:46:23 > 0:46:27- Every time we've been here, - we've had a very good welcome.
0:46:27 > 0:46:30- We always make friends - with everyone.
0:46:33 > 0:46:36- If we win or not, - we're always happy.
0:46:36 > 0:46:40- The boys, they feel like - they're six foot wide.
0:46:40 > 0:46:43- They're enjoying themselves.
0:46:43 > 0:46:44- What goes on tour...
0:46:44 > 0:46:46- What goes on tour...- - Stays on tour!
0:46:48 > 0:46:51- The Llanelli boys - enjoying themselves.
0:46:51 > 0:46:55- Let's look ahead - to the test match on Saturday.
0:46:55 > 0:46:59- Warren Gatland has done a lot - of work - will it be enough?
0:46:59 > 0:47:03- Goodness knows. They've improved - as the tour's gone on.
0:47:03 > 0:47:06- They're in a good place. - The defence is strong.
0:47:07 > 0:47:10- They've made it difficult - for the opposition.
0:47:10 > 0:47:14- Will it be enough against the - All Blacks - goodness only knows.
0:47:14 > 0:47:16- This is going to be - a game and a half.
0:47:18 > 0:47:20- Can the Lions win? Yes.
0:47:21 > 0:47:25- I think they need to find - another gear to secure victory.
0:47:25 > 0:47:29- The smile on your face shows - how excited you are for this game.
0:47:29 > 0:47:33- Some thought New Zealand - wouldn't be ready.
0:47:33 > 0:47:36- They'd hardly played - until last weekend.
0:47:36 > 0:47:41- That performance against Samoa - showed that they are ready.
0:47:41 > 0:47:43- The All Blacks - will be ready for this.
0:47:44 > 0:47:47- They've waited 12 years - to play the Lions.
0:47:47 > 0:47:53- Steve Hansen will want a victory - and we know what they're capable of.
0:47:53 > 0:47:55- I think the Lions - do have a chance.
0:47:56 > 0:47:59- The way they've played, - the tight defence...
0:47:59 > 0:48:03- ..if you can stop New Zealand - playing their game, the open game...
0:48:03 > 0:48:07- ..they do have a chance - and it'll be an interesting game.
0:48:07 > 0:48:09- Head on the block - win or lose.
0:48:12 > 0:48:13- Lose.
0:48:13 > 0:48:14- Win.
0:48:14 > 0:48:16- Win.- - Win!
0:48:16 > 0:48:20- On the fence. Whatever happens, - it will be some game.
0:48:21 > 0:48:25- You can catch the excitement - on S4C at 7.30pm.
0:48:25 > 0:48:31- Highlights of the First Test - between New Zealand and the Lions.
