0:00:50 > 0:00:53- Great off-load - from Sonny Bill Williams.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57- IT'S A LONG JOURNEY
0:00:57 > 0:00:59- PERSEVERANCE
0:01:00 > 0:01:02- That's a lesson.
0:01:02 > 0:01:07- The Lions are now fully aware - of the challenge that lies ahead.
0:01:10 > 0:01:15- Every young player's dream - is to play for the All Blacks.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19- They spread it wide. Plenty of - support. Beauden Barrett scores.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21- ONE DREAM...
0:01:22 > 0:01:24- WEARING THE ALL BLACK SHIRT
0:01:28 > 0:01:30- VERY FEW ARE THOSE - WHO REALISE THAT DREAM
0:01:31 > 0:01:36- After Auckland, - the Lions are starting to believe.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38- They're warming to the task.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49- Yes, that's the ambition. - That's the highlight.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51- Wearing the black of New Zealand.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55- Either that - or beating them on their home turf.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- The Lions' chance to do that - is fast approaching.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02- Before the First Test, - they must improve.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05- There was progress - against the Crusaders.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09- They will hope to build on that - as they take on the Highlanders.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- Joining me in the studio - are Daf Jones...
0:02:12 > 0:02:16- ..and Nicky Robinson joins us - for the first time.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18- A warm welcome to you both.
0:02:18 > 0:02:24- Before we look ahead to today's - game, let's talk about Stuart Hogg.
0:02:24 > 0:02:29- His tour is over. Has he forgiven - Connor Murray for that elbow?
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- They were sharing a room.
0:02:32 > 0:02:37- I think Connor Murray's been making - his bed and many cups of coffee.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40- It's one of the things - that can happen.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42- It's a huge blow for Stuart Hogg.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46- He started the first game - but didn't have his best game.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- Since then, he was just getting used - to the style of play...
0:02:51 > 0:02:53- ..and unfortunately, - his tour is over.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56- Yes indeed, - but not for the rest of the Lions.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- We'll talk further in a moment.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01- Before we hear more - from our guests...
0:03:02 > 0:03:04- ..let's catch up - with Warren Gatland.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10- The ground is very hard underfoot - and we're looking forward to it.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14- We expect the Highlanders to throw - things a little different at us.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18- We expect quick taps, quick - line-outs, play with some tempo.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- They have a licence - to throw the ball around.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26- We have to make sure we react - to that, that we stay alive.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30- Anything they do throw - that's different...
0:03:30 > 0:03:33- ..they may stay off - at line-out time.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35- We've spoken about all those things.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37- We'll react - to what they throw at us.
0:03:37 > 0:03:42- Warren Gatland's ready. - He's expecting a more open game.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46- The Highlanders have shown - how dangerous they can be.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49- They've done their homework.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52- I think Gatland will be more - concerned about his team.
0:03:52 > 0:03:57- They're building to the First Test. - Another victory today is the target.
0:03:57 > 0:04:02- The Highlanders will be strong - despite missing some players.
0:04:03 > 0:04:08- The Lions will want another victory - as they target the test series.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13- The Lions' strength on the weekend - was the power of their set-piece.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- The rolling maul - and the defence are good.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20- The Highlanders are strong - behind the scrum.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24- Sopoaga, Naholo, Fekitoa - - those three will influence the game.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- Sopoaga will want - a starring role today.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29- It's going to be some game.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33- Let's see how much - of a challenge they'll pose.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37- English subtitles are available - if you want them.
0:04:37 > 0:04:42- Let's join our commentary team - - Gwyn Jones and Gareth Rhys Owen.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- The roof is closed in Dunedin.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- The Highlanders - have five All Blacks in their ranks.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53- There are two missing - - Aaron and Ben Smith.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55- There are few stars in the pack...
0:04:56 > 0:05:00- ..but captain Luke Whitlock will try - and inspire an industrious eight.
0:05:00 > 0:05:07- Outside-half Sopoaga and wing Naholo - are targeting test places.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09- Fekitoa will want to prove a point.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11- He's not in the All Black squad.
0:05:13 > 0:05:18- CJ Stander is the only player in the - starting XV who played on Saturday.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21- This could be the final opportunity - for these players...
0:05:22 > 0:05:24- ..to force themselves - into the test XV.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28- Sam Warburton has recovered - from an ankle injury.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30- Biggar and Webb link up again.
0:05:30 > 0:05:35- Payne slots in at full-back with - Hogg heading home after injury.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42- Rhys Webb would have watched - Connor Murray's performance.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- He knows he has to step up - in this game.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52- The home side - have a strong Scottish tradition.
0:05:52 > 0:05:57- The Highlanders step on - to the pitch at Dunedin.
0:05:58 > 0:06:03- Warren Gatland has suggested - that the team he chooses...
0:06:03 > 0:06:07- ..against the Maoris on Saturday - will be his test XV.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11- One more opportunity for - these players to make an impression.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15- They don't want to return next week - as part of the mid-week team.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22- The Highlanders' coaching team...
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- ..suggested a kicking game - in the early stages.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- A early second for Payne.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32- The Highlanders - traditionally play an open game.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34- High risk, caution to the wind.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- Quick line-outs, - quick tap penalties.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40- I'm expecting the same - from them tonight.
0:06:40 > 0:06:45- Jonathan Joseph. His partnership - with Henshaw will be interesting.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49- They haven't shone - as they would have hoped so far.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53- Biggar.
0:06:54 > 0:06:59- Up towards the Dunedin ceiling.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- Jack Nowell knocks it on.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05- The Lions were up quickly.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- Buckland gives it some width.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16- Evans is the flanker. Here's Naholo.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18- Seymour slips.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22- Naholo shows the talent he has.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- 1-0 to Naholo.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31- He's returning from injury - but he looks sharp.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37- Fekitoa. He wasn't chosen - in the All Black squad.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39- It was somewhat of a surprise.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43- The Highlanders - are out of the blocks quickly.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- They'll be eager to spread the ball - but they've lost it.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- Lawes was a revelation the last time - he played for the Lions.
0:07:53 > 0:07:54- Joseph.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01- Henderson avoids the tackle.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- He's isolated.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07- Rhys Webb will want to create - an impression today.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11- Sam Warburton is back, - recovered from his ankle injury.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13- He's under the microscope today.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15- He's under the microscope today.- - Here's Henshaw. Henshaw.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- Early pressure. Fekitoa.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- He keeps it alive. Li collects it.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- Fekitoa in the contact area. - Advantage is being played.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32- Warburton has been penalised.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- Whitelock. Luke Whitelock - is the captain and Sam's brother.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- Hooker Coltman - is also in the All Black squad.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45- Here's Fekitoa. - The little dink ahead.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- Naholo has shown his pace once, - here he is again.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50- Naholo stretches.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52- A great tackle from Payne.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- His foot was in touch - but we play on.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58- That was a great tackle.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02- They spread the ball. - Fekitoa on the far side.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10- Well, Fekitoa took up all the space - as he ran across field.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14- He thought he had the pace - but Henshaw does brilliantly.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17- They apply the pressure.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24- Evans.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27- Another advantage being played.
0:09:27 > 0:09:32- Sopoaga. Lovely off-load to Walden.
0:09:37 > 0:09:43- It was turned over in the end but - what a start from the Highlanders.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47- That kick - behind the rushing defence.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50- That's the weakness. - Straight into the hands of Naholo.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- He almost got there.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- Sopoaga takes it up.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59- Seymour was up quickly. - There's a huge space behind him.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03- Fair play to Payne. - He did brilliantly.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- The blitz defence was up quickly.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16- Sopoaga is second in the - Highlanders' all-time points list.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18- No problems for him.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- Highlanders lead 3-0.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27- The first 10 minutes have flown by.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30- The game has calmed down.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34- The Lions drive on. This is where - they're most comfortable.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38- They haven't made a lot of ground. - We'll see a kick now.
0:10:41 > 0:10:42- To the blind-side.
0:10:42 > 0:10:43- Webb is away.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47- The pass back to Nowell. Nowell.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- Henderson had offered himself - outside him.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53- Quick possession. - Well done, Rhys Webb.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55- Lazy runners in midfield.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59- That wasn't intentional - but it distracted Webb.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02- Here's a chance for the home side.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- The ball's been lost. - The Lions have possession.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08- It's untidy. Sinckler knocks it on.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14- A warning for the home side - that Rhys Webb is dangerous.
0:11:14 > 0:11:19- A statement from Rhys Webb. We saw - how well Murray played last week.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- They needed to strike back - right away.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25- The dummy and down the blind-side.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29- We all know how dangerous - he can be as a runner.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- Nowell was caught from behind. - He doesn't look very fast.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37- It was a mistake from Rhys Webb.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41- There were lazy runners - but they didn't get in the way.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44- Another missed opportunity.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- What can we expect here? Stander.
0:11:52 > 0:11:53- Henshaw.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55- Variety from the Lions.
0:11:55 > 0:12:00- We expected them to make the - hard yards through their forwards.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02- Courtney Lawes back on his feet.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06- Webb. Joseph comes in on the angle.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08- The Lions need quick ball.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12- Stander with the ball - in his hands once again.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17- The Lions have only scored - two tries in three games.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21- Will they improve on that? Seymour - is within reach. Tommy Seymour.
0:12:22 > 0:12:23- No.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25- Webb.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27- A dummy. Rhys Webb.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31- He stretches, he celebrates.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39- I thought Tommy Seymour - was incredibly close.
0:12:39 > 0:12:40- Rhys Webb is confident.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42- Rhys Webb is confident.- - Check, a try or no try there.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52- He lost control of the ball.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- It slipped from his grasp.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57- No try.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01- Scoring tries is a problem - for the Lions.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08- Three points for Dan Biggar. - It's all-square.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16- Rory Best has been replaced by - Ken Owens because of a blood injury.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19- He was accidentally off-side then.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23- They take it quickly. This is - what the Highlanders like doing.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- Gareth Evans. - He is a Kiwi despite his name.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29- The Lions weren't back - the required 10.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32- Luke Whitelock, - brother of Sam Whitelock.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34- They spread the ball.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39- They didn't expect to find Fekitoa. - Fekitoa.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43- Joseph eager to catch him. - He succeeds at the last moment.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49- If there are better centres - than Fekitoa in New Zealand...
0:13:49 > 0:13:50- ..they must be superb.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- Walden with the pass. Great hands.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58- Evans in the move for the - second time. Rhys Webb tackles him.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01- This is a warning for the Lions. - Whitelock is flat.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04- Whitelock rolls. - Whitelock within reach.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08- Hammington wants quick ball.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10- He ignores the forwards.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12- Naholo.
0:14:12 > 0:14:18- Once again, a team - from New Zealand scoring tries.
0:14:18 > 0:14:23- It's a problem for the Lions, - but not for the home teams.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25- That's the story of the tour so far.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- The attacking team, plenty - of skills, plenty of pace...
0:14:29 > 0:14:34- ..against a team that's trying - to control and slow down the play.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38- They fail to slow down - and contain the home side.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40- Here comes Fekitoa again.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- He passes Jonathan Joseph so easily.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48- Plenty of width on the passing, - all the way to the touchline.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52- Power with the back row - up against the backs.
0:14:53 > 0:14:58- Plenty of speed, - they find their best runners...
0:14:58 > 0:15:02- ..instead of running - into a wall of forwards.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04- Great vision and skill in tandem.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08- Excellent from the Highlanders. - A well-deserved try.
0:15:12 > 0:15:17- They add the conversion. These - are worrying moments for the Lions.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23- Once again, - the Lions line-out is dominant.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27- If they have one strength, - that's the line-out.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31- And the rolling maul. - That's the contrast.
0:15:31 > 0:15:36- Catch and drive against a team - trying to play expansive rugby.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40- Stander in midfield. He doesn't - like passing but does so this time.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42- Good hands from Dan Biggar.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- Good hands. Joseph. Finally.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48- Finally, a third try on tour - for the Lions.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- Jonathan Joseph claims it.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56- He takes the ball - and no-one gets close to him.
0:15:56 > 0:16:02- The ball in two hands. - That puts the defence in two minds.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- Two in on Stander. - Great off-loading by Biggar.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08- Joseph's pace was a huge factor.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18- The roof is closed. There's no wind - to affect Biggar's kick.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22- Half an hour played - and it's all-square, 10-10.
0:16:25 > 0:16:30- Sam Warburton has been quiet. - He's fit and that's more important.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- Joseph, - the scorer of the Lions' try.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37- It's only the third try of the tour.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43- Back to the forwards to drive - up field and set up platform.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- Here he goes again. - Sinckler. Sinckler's a prop!
0:16:52 > 0:16:56- The pass from Sinckler. - Payne wasn't ready for it.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58- It's been knocked on.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- Sinckler is having a tour - to remember.
0:17:01 > 0:17:06- An unexpected choice for some - at the beginning of this tour...
0:17:06 > 0:17:09- ..but he's been good - in everything he does.
0:17:09 > 0:17:14- Great pace. He drifts outwards - to create the space.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- He looks comfortable, - he looks around.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- There was very little wrong - with that pass.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22- Payne should have taken it.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24- Oh, dear.
0:17:28 > 0:17:33- A tick for Sinckler for his loose - play. How about his scrum play?
0:17:35 > 0:17:38- The Highlanders - will be happy with that.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40- They spread the ball. Buckman.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43- Buckman against Joseph. - Joseph ties him up.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48- Joseph has pace. He's happy - to show his opponent the outside.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52- They have plenty of ambition - to attack from their 22.
0:17:52 > 0:17:57- Back inside to Li. Li is fast - but Nowell catches up with him.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01- Webb. Are the Lions just - as ambitious? No, Webb clears it.
0:18:02 > 0:18:07- Webb went back into his 22. - It's a line-out for the Highlanders.
0:18:07 > 0:18:12- A scrum on their own 22. - They go from one side to the other.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15- Their mind-set is very different - to that of the Lions.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18- They only have one plan, - they stick to a structure.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22- Li looks dangerous, - he bundles Alun Wyn out of the way.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26- The ball looked to have gone - forward there.
0:18:26 > 0:18:31- They want to pass the ball, run at - their opponents and create space.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34- The Lions are sticking - to a structured game.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41- We're in the final minute. Will - the Lions try anything different?
0:18:41 > 0:18:44- Will they try and force a penalty?
0:18:44 > 0:18:46- I don't see them trying much.
0:18:46 > 0:18:51- They catch and drive. Control - is their priority in the games.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53- They don't want an open game.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56- They're using the power - of the forwards...
0:18:57 > 0:18:59- ..and an accurate kicking game.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01- If you're a neutral supporter...
0:19:01 > 0:19:04- ..you'll only want to see - one team attacking.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07- I want to see the Highlanders - attacking!
0:19:09 > 0:19:11- This has taken ages.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14- Just hoof it up field.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- The clock is red. Naholo waits.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24- Marler is competitive on the ground.
0:19:24 > 0:19:30- That's just about it - from the Highlanders for this half.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32- 10-10 at half time.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36- If you didn't think a pattern - existed already, you know now.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41- One team has shown enterprise, - one team has been organised.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45- There's nothing much between them. - The half-time score is 10-10.
0:19:47 > 0:19:47- .
0:19:51 > 0:19:51- Subtitles
0:19:51 > 0:19:53- Subtitles- - Subtitles
0:19:56 > 0:19:58- Welcome back. 10-10 at half-time.
0:19:58 > 0:20:03- It's been very competitive in terms - of the stats between the teams.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06- The difference is the tactics.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09- One team's attacked from everywhere.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13- The other has relied on the boot, - time after time.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17- Rhys Webb has shown flashes, - especially with the ball in hand.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20- His kicking hasn't been as accurate.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25- We haven't seen much kicking - from the Highlanders.
0:20:25 > 0:20:31- This time, Stander wasn't sure - of the ball and it goes into touch.
0:20:37 > 0:20:43- A crucial 15 minutes coming up - for Sam Warburton's Lions' hopes.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46- He's been very quiet in the game - so far.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49- Will there be room for him - in the test team?
0:20:49 > 0:20:52- The next 15 minutes - will provide some answers.
0:20:54 > 0:20:55- Buckman.
0:20:57 > 0:21:02- He's part of a talented back line - for the home side.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05- No-one is more talented - or dangerous than this man...
0:21:06 > 0:21:09- ..the scorer of the only try - for the Highlanders, Naholo.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12- Back from injury, - he has one eye on a test place.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18- Tokolahi the prop. - A cross-field kick to Li.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22- Nowell is there. Sinckler showed up - well in the first half.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24- He got his foot in there.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29- Look at the red line - across the pitch.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33- The Lions' defence - has been very organised...
0:21:33 > 0:21:36- ..under the guidance - of Andy Farrell.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40- That's a little too far. - Payne has time.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44- Payne has been accurate - at full-back.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46- He hasn't let them down at all.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50- He now knows that Stuart Hogg - has left the tour.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54- Courtney Lawes hasn't returned - to the field in the second half.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57- Will we see him again - during this tour?
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- It didn't look good for him. - There's space here.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06- It works in favour of Tommy Seymour. - No-one will catch Tommy Seymour.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13- Seymour profits, - a second try for the Lions.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18- He's been a consistent scorer - over the past few years.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21- He hadn't had the best game - in the first half...
0:22:21 > 0:22:24- ..but he read that kick beautifully.
0:22:26 > 0:22:27- Too much on the kick.
0:22:28 > 0:22:33- Sopoaga chose the cross-field kick - once more.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36- He timed his run and jump perfectly.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42- The kicking game - benefitting the Lions this time.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45- He catches the ball - and he has a clear run.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47- The Lions are ahead.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56- Dan Biggar takes his time.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00- He knows this will give his team - a seven-point advantage.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03- He misses the conversion. - The Lions lead 15-10.
0:23:03 > 0:23:08- They're ahead and start - the second half with a try.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16- Webb once again, so dangerous.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18- Biggar with him. He ignores Biggar.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22- They need quick ball from here. - Nowell sweeps it out.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25- Stander needed better hands.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31- Biggar.
0:23:31 > 0:23:37- After the burst by Webb, can they - add more momentum to the move?
0:23:38 > 0:23:42- They're becoming narrower - as they go through the phases.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44- Henderson.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46- Alun Wyn Jones.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48- Off-side.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50- That's the problem with the Lions.
0:23:51 > 0:23:56- A great break, Webb has shown some - great flashes to create the space.
0:23:56 > 0:24:01- After that, the momentum is lost - as the forwards take the ball on...
0:24:01 > 0:24:03- ..and try to maintain the move.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07- He's shown his pace - more than once...
0:24:07 > 0:24:10- ..he can be such a threat - on the fringes.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13- I think Connor Murray - is in pole position...
0:24:13 > 0:24:16- ..but Webb is a great option - from the bench.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23- Oh, no. Oh, no. - A worrying moment for Rhys Webb.
0:24:23 > 0:24:28- Laidlaw has replaced Rhys Webb - who took a knock to the leg.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34- He's unhappy about that. - At least he'll have a break.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36- Highlanders have regained - possession.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40- That's the difference. - The forwards take it on.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42- Walden with the scrum-cap.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45- Taken off the ball there, - Marius, by two red.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50- Coltman. Holding on, just.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54- Sopoaga throws it out.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57- Jamie Joseph ran up.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01- He forced the long pass.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04- The Lions' defence - is causing a few problems.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07- Whitelock is powerful. - He goes through Rory Best.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10- Back to the blind-side. - The referee's arm is out.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14- He's blown up because of the - injured player on the ground.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- That could have been much worse.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20- Three's taken a player out.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24- The little kick over the defence. - It was taken easily by Henshaw.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27- The counter-rucking was strong.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32- That's the blow.
0:25:32 > 0:25:37- No arms in the challenge. Will - they take a closer look at that?
0:25:44 > 0:25:48- The Lions make two quick changes. - Ken Owens is on, Dan Coles is on.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50- Sopoaga.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54- He's accurate with his penalty.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59- It's close - - two points separate the sides.
0:26:03 > 0:26:04- Crouch.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07- Bind.
0:26:07 > 0:26:08- Set.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13- Greig Laidlaw feeds the scrum. - Webb's injured, he's been replaced.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17- Will CJ Stander want possession, - will he want to go?
0:26:17 > 0:26:22- He feeds Laidlaw. Joseph was flat, - looking for a second try.
0:26:25 > 0:26:26- Henshaw.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31- Highlanders' defenders - all in one cluster.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34- Can the Lions spread the ball wide?
0:26:34 > 0:26:37- Evans trying to slow down the ball.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- Biggar changes direction. - Laidlaw can see that.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44- Biggar to Henshaw. - Henshaw to Joseph.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46- Good feet from Joseph.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51- Stander.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59- Henderson. - Plenty of pressure from the Lions.
0:27:00 > 0:27:01- Now Payne.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04- The standard of their passing - is letting them down.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08- Payne tries to off-load - and then changes his mind.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12- They're not comfortable - when they try to force the attack.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14- They're rather pedestrian.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18- Here goes Henderson. - The advantage continues.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21- Alun Wyn Jones goes in. - Sam Warburton.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23- Sam Warburton scores the try.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27- Warburton needed something. - The Lions needed something.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31- Finally, gradually, - they're building.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33- It was all about power in the end.
0:27:33 > 0:27:39- Sam Warburton limps as he walks - back. He doesn't look too happy.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43- He's scored a captain's try - for the Lions.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49- Strong running again. - Jonathan Joseph ran a great angle.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51- The opportunity was coming.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55- They passed behind the player - far too often.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57- That slowed down the move.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01- They went back to their strength, - back to the power.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03- The captain led the way.
0:28:04 > 0:28:10- Alun Wyn Jones has conceded - his fifth penalty of this tour.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14- There's so much competition - in the second row.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16- Here comes the drive.
0:28:17 > 0:28:18- Coltman.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21- He's at the back of the tank.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25- Try time for the Highlanders.
0:28:27 > 0:28:32- We're in the final quarter - and the Highlanders strike back.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36- Rather surprisingly, - it's come from the pack.
0:28:37 > 0:28:38- It was relatively easy.
0:28:39 > 0:28:44- Plenty of organisation, - strength and patience shown.
0:28:45 > 0:28:50- This is the first time the Lions' - pack has been driven backwards.
0:28:52 > 0:28:57- Coltman keeps his head, - keeps his shape and crosses easily.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09- This is an important kick for Banks. - He's replaced Sopoaga.
0:29:11 > 0:29:16- Once again, this shows - that there's no time to relax.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20- The referee's assistant - helps him out.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23- This is slow ball for the Lions.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25- Henderson has been busy.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28- He's offered himself - throughout the game.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35- Buckman rushes back.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38- Back into the 22, - he can't target touch.
0:29:39 > 0:29:44- He finds some room. - Seymour, one try for him.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48- The winger hasn't - imposed himself on the game so far.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51- Henshaw with the kick.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53- Banks is back.
0:29:53 > 0:29:54- Buckman.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56- Buckman with the kick.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01- Biggar lets the ball bounce.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06- Nowell on his shoulder. - Biggar with the ball in one hand.
0:30:06 > 0:30:10- Nowell. Nowell looks for the pass. - Nowell links up with Haskell.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12- Haskell to McGrath.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17- The ball has been in play - for a long period.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19- The players will be tired.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21- Stander.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24- Any holes in the defence?
0:30:24 > 0:30:27- Alun Wyn Jones is isolated.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29- He off-loads.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32- Elliot Daly. Daly looks for Biggar.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34- Laidlaw.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36- The ball's been knocked on.
0:30:36 > 0:30:41- Advantage, 15 blue, - tackling without the ball.
0:30:41 > 0:30:42- Joseph.
0:30:43 > 0:30:49- The Lions are playing a looser game - but they always return to the pack.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51- Still playing advantage.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53- Are there any gaps? Biggar.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57- He chooses the kick. - Nowell wasn't ready to chase.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59- Advantage was being played.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02- Taking the red player - without the ball.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09- Tackling without the ball - was the offence.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18- Rhys Webb and Dan Biggar - have left the field.
0:31:18 > 0:31:22- Owen Farrell's first responsibility - is to aim for the posts.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26- Uncharacteristically, - Owen Farrell misses.
0:31:31 > 0:31:36- The backs will be licking - their lips with this position.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39- Banks. Walden with the kick.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41- Daly is back.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45- A huge kick. Daly.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47- It's straight back - on the Highlanders' side.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51- They've changed tactics - in the last few minutes.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53- They're playing for territory.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56- Buckman once again. He off-loads.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58- A warning for the Lions.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03- Hemopo.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07- Back to the blind-side. Hammington.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10- Naholo. Walden.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13- His kick forced everyone back.
0:32:13 > 0:32:17- He's lost possession. - Daly, it's been charged down.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19- No advantage.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27- Excitement levels have risen - in the final ten minutes.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31- After an important victory - against the Crusaders...
0:32:31 > 0:32:34- ..the Lions are trying - to maintain the momentum.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36- That's so important.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40- Buckman is a local hero.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42- He off-loads.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45- The Highlanders attack.
0:32:52 > 0:32:57- Have any players improved their - prospects for the test matches?
0:32:58 > 0:33:01- I think Kyle Sinckler - has shown up well.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03- Jonathan Joseph too.
0:33:03 > 0:33:07- The Lions' scrum - has been dismantled.
0:33:09 > 0:33:15- We've seen the Lions' forwards, - such as Itoje, celebrating.
0:33:15 > 0:33:21- This time, it's payback - for the home team's forwards.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24- Plenty of frustration, - mainly from Haskell.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27- He went into - the Highlanders' pack...
0:33:27 > 0:33:30- ..as they were celebrating - the penalty from the scrum.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35- Emotions are running high. - There's so much to win and lose.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40- We're in the final minutes - of this match. Here's the scrum.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43- Cole had already yielded a penalty.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45- He was turned and pushed backwards.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48- The celebrations began.
0:33:54 > 0:33:58- Time after time, we've seen - the Highlanders go for the corner.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01- Banks knows that if he succeeds - with this kick...
0:34:01 > 0:34:05- ..they will lead - with only six minutes remaining.
0:34:09 > 0:34:14- Tension in Dunedin. - The home team close in on a victory.
0:34:20 > 0:34:25- Ten wins, ten losses - - that's the Lions' record in Dunedin.
0:34:25 > 0:34:29- Osborne's lurking. - He's a giant of a flanker.
0:34:29 > 0:34:33- Many were surprised that the Fijian - didn't start the game.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38- Stander right in the middle of it.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41- He steals possession, - not for the first time.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44- Has he laid down a marker - for the test team?
0:34:44 > 0:34:47- What do the Lions have left - to win this game?
0:34:47 > 0:34:50- Daly. Seymour. He's run out of room.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53- They have a penalty. - Is it within kicking distance?
0:34:53 > 0:34:56- It's too far out.
0:34:57 > 0:35:01- Stander with the important work. - He was isolated.
0:35:01 > 0:35:05- Fair play to the No.8, - he's carried well all night.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07- Great defensive work.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09- A worthy penalty. I think so.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14- Elliot Daly.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16- From 56 metres.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19- He's given it all he's got.
0:35:19 > 0:35:20- No.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26- The hooter has gone.
0:35:26 > 0:35:31- This is the final play. Against - the Blues, the line-out failed.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33- It works this time.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36- Stander. Farrell, knock-on.
0:35:36 > 0:35:37- That's it.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39- The end of the game
0:35:39 > 0:35:45- For the second time in three games - against the Super Rugby sides...
0:35:45 > 0:35:47- ..the Lions have lost.
0:35:47 > 0:35:52- They're stumbling - from one obstacle to the next.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58- Victory for the Highlanders.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01- The final score is 23-22.
0:36:04 > 0:36:08- A good win for the Highlanders - but a step back for the Lions.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11- Daf and Nick with the analysis - after the break.
0:36:11 > 0:36:11- .
0:36:15 > 0:36:15- Subtitles
0:36:15 > 0:36:17- Subtitles- - Subtitles
0:36:20 > 0:36:24- Highlanders 23 - Lions 22.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27- Yes, it was close, it was some game.
0:36:27 > 0:36:31- For the second time on the tour, - the Lions have lost.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34- We'll hear from our experts - in a moment.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36- First, the reaction - from New Zealand.
0:36:37 > 0:36:41- What we've got in abundance - in this group is team spirit.
0:36:41 > 0:36:45- Sometimes you've just got to - roll your sleeves up on tour.
0:36:45 > 0:36:49- Especially here, - every game is like a test match.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53- You need strong characters, - you need to roll your sleeves up.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56- We don't need people - shying away now.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59- We need to front up, - take the positives...
0:36:59 > 0:37:04- ..and have a harsh word about that - last 13 minutes, 10, 12 minutes.
0:37:04 > 0:37:08- It was a game that was there - to be won.
0:37:08 > 0:37:13- We were 22-13 ahead at one point.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16- We had chances to score points.
0:37:16 > 0:37:20- We were in the right areas, - right down in their 22.
0:37:21 > 0:37:25- Unfortunately, we couldn't close out - the game which is disappointing.
0:37:25 > 0:37:29- We have to learn and learn quickly. - It's costing us games at the moment.
0:37:30 > 0:37:35- Eight or nine penalties in that - last 10 minutes really hurt us.
0:37:35 > 0:37:39- We have to make sure that - we're better in those moments.
0:37:39 > 0:37:44- That's the difference sometimes - between winning and losing games.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47- We are developing as a team.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50- The style of play - is starting to come.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54- We scored three more tries tonight.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57- There are positive aspects - but to win out here...
0:37:58 > 0:38:01- ..you have to close down the games - and play for 80 minutes.
0:38:01 > 0:38:06- For two games on tour - we haven't been able to do that.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10- That's the reaction - from New Zealand.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13- Daf, they were nine points ahead.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16- Were they guilty - of throwing the game away?
0:38:16 > 0:38:19- When they look back, - they'll think the same.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22- Nine points ahead and that's - the best I've seen from them.
0:38:22 > 0:38:27- I enjoyed the game. They created - more problems behind the scrum.
0:38:27 > 0:38:31- The off-loading from the tackle - was more effective.
0:38:31 > 0:38:37- They played very well and they'll - be very frustrated with the loss.
0:38:37 > 0:38:42- One thing that's been highlighted - by the press is the line speed.
0:38:42 > 0:38:47- It's a weapon, that what - they're saying out in New Zealand.
0:38:47 > 0:38:51- Will Andy Farrell be as happy - as he was on Saturday?
0:38:51 > 0:38:56- I don't think it was as good - as it was against the Crusaders...
0:38:56 > 0:38:59- ..but the conditions were different.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02- The ball was drier - and more difficult to defend.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06- Sam Warburton was up, - out of the line quickly this time.
0:39:06 > 0:39:10- They don't commit to the contact - area, they just line up outside.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14- They shoot up - and force the Highlanders to kick.
0:39:14 > 0:39:18- They did their homework, they knew - Rhys Webb would defend in the line.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21- There are spaces behind them.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23- Time after time we saw this.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25- This time, again, they fly up.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28- The kick again from Sopoaga.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31- They can't run into - the Lions' defence...
0:39:31 > 0:39:33- ..because it's one - of their strengths.
0:39:33 > 0:39:37- The Crusaders tried to hold on - to the ball but got turned over.
0:39:37 > 0:39:41- The Highlanders kicked hoping - to put the Lions under pressure...
0:39:41 > 0:39:43- ..or waited for them - to kick the ball back.
0:39:43 > 0:39:49- They did their homework behind - the pack as well as up front.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52- We spoke about the strength - of the pack.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55- It's been a weapon during this tour.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58- Today, they did encounter - some problems.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02- Under Warren Gatland, - you know how they'll play.
0:40:02 > 0:40:06- Unfortunately today, - they weren't at their best.
0:40:06 > 0:40:12- For the First Test, I expect to see - a different starting pack.
0:40:12 > 0:40:17- Steve Hansen and his coaching team - will look at this...
0:40:17 > 0:40:21- ..and think that they'll have - the supremacy.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24- The Highlanders aren't - a strong pack.
0:40:24 > 0:40:28- The Crusaders - had a stronger pack on the weekend.
0:40:28 > 0:40:32- Today, the Highlanders' strength - was their backs...
0:40:32 > 0:40:35- ..but you could see the way - they demolished them in this scrum.
0:40:36 > 0:40:40- This was such an important scrum. - Cole was packing down.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42- I thought his strength - was his scrummaging.
0:40:42 > 0:40:46- He was completely destroyed - at a pivotal time during the game.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49- They conceded a penalty - and the resulting three points.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52- It won the game for the Highlanders.
0:40:52 > 0:40:57- How much of a role did the referee's - interpretation play in all of this?
0:40:57 > 0:41:00- I was a little worried - when I was watching the game.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03- A lot of things went - in our favour...
0:41:03 > 0:41:06- ..but some old problems resurfaced.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09- We have to improve - that facet of play...
0:41:09 > 0:41:12- ..if we're going to threaten - New Zealand.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14- We weren't at our best.
0:41:14 > 0:41:18- They'll have to do a lot of work - between now and the next game...
0:41:19 > 0:41:21- ..the Maoris and the tests.
0:41:21 > 0:41:27- Talking of contentious decisions, - Naholo scored the first try.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30- The Lions were unhappy with the try.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32- Robbie Henshaw flew up.
0:41:32 > 0:41:36- Excellent work from Naholo, - he had a great game.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39- Henshaw flew up - but was he blocked a little?
0:41:40 > 0:41:43- The Highlanders player - altered his line.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46- Had the referee - consulted his video ref...
0:41:46 > 0:41:50- ..he could have awarded a penalty.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53- Henshaw could have made more - of the block.
0:41:53 > 0:41:57- We don't want to see players - diving on the ground...
0:41:58 > 0:42:03- ..but if he ends up on the ground, - the referee might have looked at it.
0:42:03 > 0:42:04- To me, it's not.
0:42:04 > 0:42:09- For me, Henshaw has to run - into the man in front of him...
0:42:09 > 0:42:12- ..and make more a fuss about it.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14- He tried to run around him.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17- If he ran into him - and notified the ref...
0:42:17 > 0:42:21- ..it would have been clearer - for the referee.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24- Daf would have liked to see - some theatrics.
0:42:24 > 0:42:28- I spoke about Naholo. What a player, - he's in the All Blacks squad.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31- He's had a few injuries recently.
0:42:31 > 0:42:35- Will he be playing in the First - Test? He proved his fitness today.
0:42:36 > 0:42:41- He was superb today. You don't often - see a winger making such an impact.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43- He was everywhere.
0:42:43 > 0:42:49- The Lions kicked a lot believing - he was weak under the high ball.
0:42:49 > 0:42:53- He took every kick, the Highlanders - brought him into the game.
0:42:53 > 0:42:57- He received the ball - in the outside-half position.
0:42:57 > 0:43:02- It's nice to see someone celebrate - like that. It means a lot to him.
0:43:02 > 0:43:06- It shows the depth of talent - in New Zealand.
0:43:06 > 0:43:09- We're looking ahead - to the first test.
0:43:09 > 0:43:12- There's been a lot of speculation.
0:43:12 > 0:43:16- Sam Warburton said he might not - be ready for the First Test.
0:43:16 > 0:43:22- After the 67 minutes he played - today, has he done enough?
0:43:22 > 0:43:24- He hasn't played a lot of rugby.
0:43:25 > 0:43:27- Was he at his best today? No.
0:43:27 > 0:43:29- He is very competitive though...
0:43:29 > 0:43:33- ..whenever he wears - the red of Wales or the Lions.
0:43:33 > 0:43:36- He wanted to play in first game - against the Barbarians.
0:43:36 > 0:43:39- He was aware - that he hadn't played much rugby.
0:43:39 > 0:43:42- Maybe today's game - didn't do him many favours...
0:43:43 > 0:43:49- ..the referee wasn't eager to see - a contest in the tackle area.
0:43:49 > 0:43:51- He was industrious, yes...
0:43:52 > 0:43:55- ..he was eager to cross - the advantage line...
0:43:55 > 0:43:59- ..and put in - some big hits in midfield.
0:43:59 > 0:44:04- I believe that Warren Gatland - will start him in the First Test.
0:44:04 > 0:44:08- He pulled him off the field - after 67 minutes.
0:44:08 > 0:44:13- I believe we'll see Sam Warburton - in that First Test.
0:44:13 > 0:44:15- Sean O'Brien is the other option.
0:44:15 > 0:44:20- Sean O'Brien had an excellent game - on Saturday against the Crusaders.
0:44:20 > 0:44:23- He'll be disappointed - with the defeat.
0:44:23 > 0:44:27- Sam and the rest of the team - would have wanted another victory.
0:44:27 > 0:44:32- They want to see the team and the - units working well before the tests.
0:44:32 > 0:44:35- I agree with Daf, that Gatland - wants Sam in the First Test.
0:44:35 > 0:44:39- He was replaced but I hope - we'll see him again on the weekend.
0:44:39 > 0:44:43- He'll get more rugby under his belt - and look ahead to the tests.
0:44:44 > 0:44:46- Rhys Webb was also looking - for a good game.
0:44:47 > 0:44:51- He was under pressure after - Murray's masterclass on Saturday.
0:44:51 > 0:44:55- They're very different players - - Murray has a good kicking game...
0:44:55 > 0:44:58- ..Webb is more suited to - an open game but did he do enough?
0:44:58 > 0:45:01- He had a cracking game.
0:45:01 > 0:45:05- He started the game on fire.
0:45:05 > 0:45:09- He was good in defence - and he was eager to make his mark.
0:45:09 > 0:45:12- This sniping run down - the blind side, that's pace.
0:45:12 > 0:45:15- He's very aware - of what's around him.
0:45:15 > 0:45:18- He makes the right decision - consistently.
0:45:18 > 0:45:21- I think that's the best - I've seen him play.
0:45:21 > 0:45:25- I can see Murray starting the first - test but Webb will be on the bench.
0:45:25 > 0:45:28- It was a shame to see him - come off with an injury.
0:45:29 > 0:45:33- The way the game was going, - the way it was opening up...
0:45:33 > 0:45:35- ..it would have suited him.
0:45:35 > 0:45:39- Connor Murray - has a very accurate kicking game...
0:45:39 > 0:45:44- ..but he doesn't make the breaks - that Rhys Webb does.
0:45:44 > 0:45:48- It might suit him to be - on the bench and come on...
0:45:48 > 0:45:52- ..when the forwards are starting - to tire after 60 minutes.
0:45:53 > 0:45:56- The good news in terms of that - injury - it's not too serious.
0:45:56 > 0:45:59- We're expecting to see him - back on the field soon.
0:45:59 > 0:46:02- Before we look forward - to the next game...
0:46:03 > 0:46:07- ..Nicky, you were eager to highlight - some of Owen Farrell's game.
0:46:07 > 0:46:11- It was the decision - to give Owen Farrell the penalty.
0:46:12 > 0:46:16- He's just come off the bench - after Dan Biggar's injury.
0:46:16 > 0:46:20- They decide not to opt - for Greig Laidlaw...
0:46:20 > 0:46:24- ..one of the world's - most consistent kickers.
0:46:24 > 0:46:29- His first touch is taking the - penalty at that time in the game.
0:46:29 > 0:46:32- The Lions could have gone - a converted score ahead.
0:46:33 > 0:46:36- I don't understand why Greig Laidlaw - didn't take the kick.
0:46:36 > 0:46:40- As a former fly-half, it wouldn't - have been a problem for you.
0:46:40 > 0:46:42- Off either foot, left or right!
0:46:43 > 0:46:45- It's not a problem for me.
0:46:46 > 0:46:48- Let's look ahead to the next game.
0:46:48 > 0:46:52- Some have dubbed it the Fourth Test - - the Maoris.
0:46:55 > 0:46:57- From the depths - of the city of lakes...
0:46:57 > 0:47:01- ..flow the historic - and cultural roots of New Zealand.
0:47:01 > 0:47:06- The Maoris have been here - for 800 years.
0:47:06 > 0:47:10- Their traditions remain - an important part of local society.
0:47:12 > 0:47:17- Here, in this proud city, the Lions - will challenge the Maori All Blacks.
0:47:17 > 0:47:21- The teams have met - 32 times in the past.
0:47:21 > 0:47:24- The Lions will target - their 20th success.
0:47:27 > 0:47:29- Expect a haka.
0:47:29 > 0:47:31- Expect a welcome.
0:47:31 > 0:47:33- Expect a battle.
0:47:38 > 0:47:41- It doesn't get any easier.
0:47:41 > 0:47:44- The Lions have a few days - to prepare.
0:47:45 > 0:47:47- What kind of team can we expect?
0:47:47 > 0:47:50- It will be close to a test team.
0:47:50 > 0:47:56- He won't want any of his - test players playing next Tuesday.
0:47:56 > 0:48:00- This is the final chance - to bring the units together...
0:48:00 > 0:48:03- ..and we'll see - how Warren Gatland is thinking.
0:48:04 > 0:48:07- The Maoris might not be - the strongest individuals...
0:48:07 > 0:48:10- ..but the team - has plenty of passion and strength.
0:48:10 > 0:48:13- It's going to be a big week - of rugby.
0:48:13 > 0:48:16- We'll also see New Zealand - playing this week.
0:48:16 > 0:48:21- They're playing Samoa. - That's going to be some game.
0:48:21 > 0:48:26- Back to the Lions, they have - to field a test-quality side.
0:48:26 > 0:48:30- They'll have to move up another - gear. It promises to be some game.
0:48:31 > 0:48:35- Everything is in the balance now.
0:48:35 > 0:48:41- Everyone knows the importance - of the First Test.
0:48:41 > 0:48:45- We're all excited to see the Lions - and New Zealand in action.
0:48:45 > 0:48:48- Dafydd Jones and Nicky Robinson...
0:48:49 > 0:48:52- ..thank you very much - for your comments.
0:48:52 > 0:48:56- The feast of rugby continues on S4C - over the next week.
