-The players, like the supporters,

0:00:400:00:45

0:00:480:00:52

0:00:530:00:55

-He's put the Lions

-on the front foot.

0:00:550:00:58

-Back inside, Jonathan Davies

-for the corner. Back to O'Brien.

0:00:580:01:03

-The All Blacks sacked us

-pretty effectively tonight.

0:01:030:01:06

-We need to be tough on ourselves

0:01:060:01:10

-..and what we need to improve.

0:01:100:01:12

-and current All Blacks.

0:01:280:01:32

-I always put pressure

-on this team to win.

0:01:320:01:35

-Every time the Hurricanes run out,

0:01:350:01:40

-They get an opportunity

-to play against the Lions.

0:01:400:01:44

-to play against.

0:01:440:01:47

-defending champions.

0:01:470:01:50

-If we don't win, it's not going

-to be a good night for us.

0:01:510:01:55

-That's been our big focus.

0:01:550:01:57

-After the disappointment

-of the opening test...

0:02:020:02:05

0:02:060:02:08

-..at the Westpac Stadium

-to take on the Hurricanes.

0:02:080:02:11

-One final chance

-to persuade the boss...

0:02:110:02:14

-..that they deserve

-to face the All Blacks.

0:02:420:02:48

-..have been released from

0:02:480:02:52

-..in a team that includes

-Milner-Skudder and To'omaga-Allen.

0:02:520:02:56

-Both have worn the All Black shirt,

-as has Cory Jane on the bench.

0:02:570:03:01

0:03:010:03:03

-..that battled to victory

-against the Chiefs.

0:03:030:03:06

-CJ Stander and Tipuric will hope

-to catch the eye in the back-row.

0:03:060:03:11

-are the half-backs.

0:03:110:03:14

-to full-back.

0:03:140:03:17

-his claim for a second Test place.

0:03:170:03:22

-Tommy Seymour fills in

-on the other wing.

0:03:220:03:25

-As it was back in 2013, Rory Best

-now leads the midweek team.

0:03:260:03:32

-He knows that his side can give

-the squad a welcome lift...

0:03:330:03:37

-..before the 2nd Test on Saturday at

-the Westpac Stadium in Wellington.

0:03:370:03:43

-It's the middle of winter

-in Wellington.

0:03:440:03:47

-It's cold outside

-but it's warm in the Cake Tin.

0:03:470:03:50

-The Hurricanes against the Lions.

0:03:540:03:57

-It's the first time the Hurricanes

-have faced international opposition.

0:03:570:04:03

-How will they fare against

-the British and Irish Lions?

0:04:030:04:07

-The Lions will be hurting

-as a squad...

0:04:070:04:10

-..after that loss

-to the All Blacks in Auckland.

0:04:100:04:14

-How will this one go, Dafydd Jones?

0:04:140:04:17

-Will they still be disappointed

-after the loss in Auckland?

0:04:170:04:22

-That wasn't the plan.

0:04:220:04:24

-No, they will be disappointed

-after last weekend...

0:04:240:04:28

-..but they must look forward

-to the next challenge.

0:04:280:04:32

-The Hurricanes are happy to spread

-the ball, this could be some game.

0:04:320:04:38

-Jack Nowell with the early

-possession, at full-back.

0:04:400:04:44

-Here he is again.

0:04:440:04:45

-He will pose problems, just as

-Liam Williams did from the back...

0:04:450:04:50

-..in the First Test

-and against the Chiefs last week.

0:04:500:04:54

-The Lions stay in their own half.

-Laidlaw with the high ball.

0:04:590:05:04

-It's taken cleanly by Jordie

-Barrett, the youngest brother.

0:05:050:05:10

-It is said that he is

-the more talented of the three.

0:05:100:05:14

-If that's true,

-we can expect some fireworks.

0:05:140:05:19

-A chance.

0:05:260:05:28

-Centre Vince Aso gets his hands

-on the ball for the first time.

0:05:280:05:33

-The Hurricanes show their intent

-right from the off.

0:05:340:05:38

-The commentator's curse strikes

-again as Barrett drops the ball.

0:05:380:05:43

-It's on its way. Best.

0:05:480:05:50

-He doesn't try to spread the ball

-at the first opportunity.

0:05:500:05:54

-Tipuric.

0:05:550:05:56

-George North drifts over

-from the blind-side.

0:05:560:06:01

-He'll be keen to impose himself

-on the game...

0:06:020:06:06

-..if he wants to fight his way

-into the Second Test squad.

0:06:060:06:11

-Great work by the Lions. They've

-gained territory from that line.

0:06:110:06:16

-The referee's playing advantage.

0:06:170:06:19

-Jack Nowell could create something

-out of nothing.

0:06:200:06:24

-The advantage is still there.

-They'll come back.

0:06:270:06:31

-The defence was up quickly

-putting the Lions under pressure.

0:06:320:06:38

-Dan Biggar is eager...

0:06:410:06:43

-No.6, off-side.

0:06:430:06:45

-..but they'll opt

-for the three points.

0:06:450:06:47

-Fifita is the player penalised.

0:06:490:06:53

-An easy kick for the ever dependable

-Dan Biggar.

0:06:590:07:03

-The first points of the game

-with 10 minutes on the clock.

0:07:030:07:06

-The British and Irish Lions

-nudge ahead 3-0.

0:07:060:07:10

-Down from Lousi.

0:07:180:07:19

-Good hands in the middle

-from Vince Aso.

0:07:210:07:24

-Out to Julian Savea.

0:07:240:07:26

-Jack Nowell was standing in his way.

0:07:260:07:29

-Savea is six-foot-four and 17 stone.

0:07:290:07:35

-Those are the same physical

-measurements as George North.

0:07:350:07:39

-Back on the blind-side again.

0:07:390:07:41

-The Hurricanes feel that's their

-best option. Barrett goes to ground.

0:07:420:07:47

-15 metres out from the try-line.

0:07:490:07:52

-Lousi with the rat's tail

-hanging from the back of his head.

0:07:520:07:56

-Courtney Lawes with the tackle.

-Black standing in at fly-half.

0:07:580:08:02

-Laumape.

0:08:020:08:03

-Quick ball.

-The interception by Tommy Seymour.

0:08:060:08:10

-It's actually Laidlaw.

-To the halfway line and over it.

0:08:100:08:15

-Where's the support? Here it comes.

0:08:150:08:17

-Here's Tommy Seymour.

0:08:170:08:20

-The try was bound to come from the

-moment Greig Laidlaw intercepted.

0:08:200:08:27

-A great try for the Lions.

0:08:280:08:29

-A try from nothing,

-a length-of-the-field try.

0:08:300:08:33

-A try from nothing.

-Laidlaw reads the play.

0:08:340:08:37

-The interception

-and Seymour's in support.

0:08:370:08:40

-He off-loads from the ground.

0:08:410:08:43

-The try. He has the pace

-to reach the try-line.

0:08:450:08:48

-Laidlaw with that interception.

-He thought he could go all the way.

0:08:510:08:56

-The legs aren't

-as quick as they were.

0:08:570:08:59

-Good to see Tommy Seymour

-having reason to smile.

0:08:590:09:05

-Ricitelli finds his captain,

-Brad Shields.

0:09:080:09:12

-Callum Gibbins,

-the open-side flanker.

0:09:120:09:14

-He joins the Glasgow Warriors next

-season on a three-year contract.

0:09:150:09:19

-The Lions have stolen it.

-Come on, George.

0:09:190:09:22

-He pumps his legs

-through the first tackle.

0:09:220:09:25

-Laidlaw. Back on the blind-side.

-Haskell is with him.

0:09:270:09:30

-Henderson. He steps back in.

0:09:350:09:37

-Biggar. A great kick.

-Jonathan Joseph was held back.

0:09:400:09:46

-That's what Romain Poite has seen.

0:09:470:09:50

-Romain Poite plays advantage.

-Courtney Lawes.

0:09:530:09:56

-The Lions progress

-through Dan Coles.

0:09:560:09:59

0:10:010:10:03

0:10:090:10:11

-The advantage is still there.

0:10:130:10:15

-but Poite calls them back.

0:10:150:10:19

-Great work from the Lions.

0:10:200:10:24

-Dan Biggar controls the game.

0:10:250:10:27

-Dan Biggar with the kick.

-Joseph is so effective in the air.

0:10:310:10:36

-Toiroa-Tahuriorangi

-tackled him in the air.

0:10:390:10:42

-This kick is almost 50 metres,

-as you can see.

0:10:470:10:51

-It's in the centre of the field.

0:10:520:10:54

-It's within reach.

-A great kick from the outside-half.

0:10:560:11:01

-Dan Biggar, he's tied his bootlaces

-tightly tonight.

0:11:010:11:06

-He stretches the Lions' advantage

-to 13 points.

0:11:060:11:10

-Early signs, Dafydd,

-that the Lions' scrum is on top.

0:11:120:11:19

-They're making it difficult tonight.

-Another penalty.

0:11:220:11:26

-A technical offence in the scrum

-says Romain Poite.

0:11:290:11:33

-Biggar came in with the tackle.

0:11:330:11:38

-Toiroa-Tahuriorangi

-keeps the ball tight on the fringes.

0:11:390:11:43

-Will it come out this time?

0:11:430:11:45

-Toiroa-Tahuriorangi wants someone

-to carry the ball a little further.

0:11:450:11:51

-Marler wasn't sure

-what he was doing.

0:11:510:11:54

-It looked high from here.

0:11:540:11:56

-Hurricanes threaten.

0:12:030:12:04

-No team has scored more points

-in Super Rugby than the Hurricanes.

0:12:050:12:09

-They trail 13-0. There's a chance

-for three points but they want more.

0:12:090:12:14

-The feet go in on Courtney Lawes.

0:12:170:12:20

-He was in the way.

0:12:220:12:24

-Out to To'omaga-Allen,

-the tight-head prop.

0:12:250:12:29

-He's already been capped

-by the All Blacks.

0:12:290:12:32

-Ricitelli.

-Tipuric with the tackle on him.

0:12:360:12:39

-Almost up to the try-line.

-They're there.

0:12:400:12:42

-The ball's been grounded. Romain

-Poite lifts his arm in the air.

0:12:440:12:50

-The Hurricanes have their first try.

0:12:520:12:54

-The Lions looked comfortable.

0:12:570:12:59

-Gibbins is so low, so powerful.

0:12:590:13:02

-It was too difficult for Best

-to stop him.

0:13:030:13:06

-The Hurricanes needed that try.

0:13:100:13:13

-The Lions were keeping

-the scoreboard ticking.

0:13:130:13:16

-Jordie Barrett adds the extras.

0:13:170:13:19

-The Hurricanes are back within

-one score. Hurricanes 7 - Lions 13.

0:13:190:13:25

-Milner-Skudder scored a try in the

-2015 World Cup Final in Twickenham.

0:13:390:13:46

-He's played little rugby since then

-because of injury.

0:13:500:13:54

-A penalty against the Hurricanes.

0:13:590:14:02

-Romain Poite has eyes everywhere.

0:14:030:14:06

-Yes, he has.

0:14:060:14:08

-They targeted Laidlaw.

0:14:090:14:12

-The Hurricanes crowd weren't happy

-when the Lions opted for the posts.

0:14:150:14:21

-Points are important,

-as is the victory...

0:14:210:14:24

-..when you look back

-at that First Test on Saturday.

0:14:240:14:27

-Dan Biggar's kick

-is another boost for the Lions.

0:14:280:14:31

-The Lions now lead by ten points.

0:14:310:14:35

-Nowell chases it.

0:14:450:14:47

-It's claimed by Abbott.

0:14:480:14:50

-Here's a chance

-as the game breaks up.

0:14:520:14:55

-Tipuric, Biggar.

0:14:550:14:57

-He found a gap.

0:14:570:14:59

-Right in front of the referee.

0:15:030:15:05

-You must release on the ground.

0:15:050:15:08

-Savea's been penalised.

0:15:080:15:10

-Eight on the ground, not releasing.

0:15:100:15:13

-Brad Shields was there first. He

-hadn't released when Savea came in.

0:15:130:15:19

-It's such a fine line.

0:15:220:15:26

-Five minutes until half-time.

-Biggar's planted that one.

0:15:320:15:36

-Down in the corner,

-a little bit overambitious.

0:15:370:15:40

-Barrett, off his right foot.

0:15:410:15:43

-Straight to Leigh Halfpenny.

0:15:430:15:46

-He's been smashed in the tackle

-by Jordie Barrett.

0:15:480:15:53

-Lawes. This is what we wanted

-to see from the Northampton lock.

0:15:550:15:59

-Well done, Lawes.

0:15:590:16:00

-Well done, Lawes.

-

-Well done, Biggar.

0:16:000:16:02

-Haskell.

0:16:020:16:03

-Plenty of movement.

0:16:060:16:08

-The Lions are trying

-to lift the tempo.

0:16:090:16:12

-Tipuric is so comfortable

-with the ball in hand. Marler.

0:16:120:16:16

-This looks good.

0:16:190:16:20

-Jack Nowell. He almost got away.

0:16:200:16:23

-Very unlucky.

0:16:240:16:25

-That's better from the Lions.

0:16:280:16:31

-The ability to go wide

-with sheer pace.

0:16:320:16:35

-Haskell and Tipuric

-trying to secure possession.

0:16:370:16:41

-Barrett.

-He sweeps the ball downfield.

0:16:410:16:44

-Halfpenny needs to change

-his boots at half-time.

0:16:470:16:51

-That's the second time he's slipped.

-He needs longer studs.

0:16:510:16:55

-He was there to compete.

0:16:550:16:57

-Out to George North.

0:16:570:16:59

-Magnetic North!

0:17:010:17:03

-That try will do him

-the world of good.

0:17:050:17:09

-Reward for being awake.

0:17:090:17:11

-Dan Biggar aiming high.

0:17:150:17:18

-Leigh Halfpenny.

0:17:180:17:20

-Great hands from Henderson.

-Great work.

0:17:210:17:24

-George North crosses.

0:17:250:17:27

-Two more points for Dan Biggar.

0:17:360:17:39

-I'm sure Warren Gatland

-is scratching his head.

0:17:390:17:42

-A great chase from Halfpenny.

0:17:430:17:45

-A wonderful pass

-from Iain Henderson.

0:17:450:17:48

-A crucial time in this game.

0:17:500:17:52

-The Lions are keeping

-the Hurricanes out.

0:17:520:17:55

-The ball at the back,

-held by the lock Sam Lousi.

0:17:560:17:59

-Ricitelli, the hooker.

0:17:590:18:02

-Look at the Lions

-demolishing that maul.

0:18:020:18:06

-Haskell, Tipuric and Best

-are right in the middle of it.

0:18:060:18:11

-The ball is on the ground.

0:18:110:18:13

-Romain Poite is in the right place.

0:18:130:18:15

-Excellent work by the Lions.

0:18:160:18:19

-Will we look back

-at that passage of play...

0:18:200:18:23

-..as a crucial one in deciding

-the outcome of this game?

0:18:240:18:28

-For now, at half-time,

-the Canes 7 - the Lions 23.

-for the Hurricanes.

0:19:550:19:57

-That inside pass, perfectly timed.

0:19:570:20:02

-That's a try and a half.

0:20:030:20:05

-Jordie Barrett.

0:20:110:20:13

-He's turned it in.

-An excellent kick.

0:20:130:20:17

-12 becomes 14.

0:20:180:20:20

-The gap is down to nine points.

0:20:210:20:23

-A promising attacking position

-for the Canes.

0:20:270:20:31

-The Lions

-won't want to let them score here.

0:20:310:20:34

-Look at that angle by Laumape.

0:20:350:20:37

-He's featuring

-more and more in the game.

0:20:380:20:41

-Straight at Dan Biggar,

-the injured Dan Biggar.

0:20:420:20:46

-Barrett, he tries to release himself

-from the tackle.

0:20:480:20:51

-Toiroa-Tahuriorangi.

-Out to Ricitelli.

0:20:520:20:55

-Back into the heart of the defence.

-The referee is playing advantage.

0:20:570:21:01

-Savea.

0:21:040:21:06

-He picks up the pace.

0:21:070:21:09

-Lawes halts him. Romain Poite

-is still playing advantage.

0:21:090:21:15

-The over-the-top pass from Aso.

0:21:150:21:18

-Knock-on. 11 off-side.

0:21:190:21:20

-Back to the penalty.

0:21:220:21:23

-Great tempo, great pace

-from the Hurricanes.

0:21:230:21:27

-Barrett is ready to bring his side

-to within one score.

0:21:280:21:36

-An easy three points

-for the full-back.

0:21:390:21:41

-Canes 17 - Lions 23.

0:21:430:21:48

-Ten unanswered points

-for the Hurricanes...

0:21:550:21:58

-..at the start of the second half.

0:21:580:22:00

-Milner-Skudder has the ball.

0:22:000:22:03

-Shields.

0:22:090:22:11

-He's back on his feet. Henderson.

0:22:130:22:17

-Who's with him? The forwards arrive

-in two and threes.

0:22:170:22:20

-Dan Coles carries Lousi with him.

0:22:200:22:23

-That's the Canes' try-line

-in the background.

0:22:230:22:26

-Romain Poite has seen something,

-he might bring the play back.

0:22:270:22:33

-Marler. He turns his shoulder into

-the storm. Penalty to the Lions.

0:22:340:22:39

-The referee is playing advantage.

0:22:390:22:42

-We know that Romain Poite

-will return to the offence...

0:22:420:22:46

-..in a minute or two.

0:22:460:22:48

-Laidlaw.

-Biggar brings George North in.

0:22:490:22:54

-Tipuric this time.

0:22:540:22:56

-Great hands to Stander. Great

-understanding between 7 and 8.

0:22:560:23:00

-Here's where Nowell can make

-an impact. A high tackle on him.

0:23:000:23:05

-The Lions want a try. Biggar wasn't

-hoping to see Dan Coles there.

0:23:070:23:12

-Kieran Read would have known

-not to put a prop there.

0:23:130:23:17

-A yellow card

-for Toiroa-Tahuriorangi.

0:23:170:23:20

-Romain Poite had given

-a final warning.

0:23:200:23:24

-There's so much going on

-off the ball in this game.

0:23:240:23:28

-It's a high blow.

0:23:300:23:34

-The Lions, for the first time in

-the second half, pick up the pace.

0:23:360:23:41

-Laidlaw, there was a lot

-of talk about his standing leg...

0:23:440:23:49

-..being targeted

-as he made the kicks.

0:23:490:23:52

-Henderson again.

-He's cantering downfield.

0:23:520:23:56

-He's determined. Biggar, plenty

-of support. Lawes out to Halfpenny.

0:23:580:24:03

-Seymour's with him.

-Halfpenny is still going.

0:24:040:24:07

-Seymour and George North in tandem.

0:24:070:24:10

-Lawes delayed the pass too long.

0:24:100:24:13

-They had the numerical advantage.

0:24:130:24:16

-The Lions are there in numbers.

0:24:160:24:18

-Eight metres out

-from the Canes' try-line.

0:24:180:24:22

-Seymour takes it up

-and goes to ground.

0:24:220:24:26

-Haskell with those muscular arms.

0:24:270:24:30

-Tipuric in support.

0:24:320:24:34

-Marler again.

-He gains valuable yards.

0:24:340:24:38

-Closer and closer. If anyone

-deserves a try, it's Iain Henderson.

0:24:380:24:43

-Romain Poite couldn't be closer.

0:24:440:24:46

-He's not as sure this time

-as he was in the first half.

0:24:460:24:49

-Henderson started the move

-some time ago.

0:24:500:24:53

-Henderson has had a great game.

0:24:530:24:55

-So effective.

0:24:560:24:58

-I think this is a try.

0:24:590:25:00

-Try, yes or no?

0:25:010:25:03

-That's the question.

0:25:030:25:04

-Henderson is so powerful.

0:25:050:25:08

-He drives on to the try-line.

0:25:080:25:11

-Was there whitewash under the ball?

0:25:150:25:17

-Was there whitewash under the ball?

-

-I don't think so.

0:25:170:25:19

-There is no clear evidence

-that the ball has been grounded.

0:25:200:25:23

-It's short. Five-metre scrum to red.

0:25:240:25:27

-This is what we feared.

0:25:310:25:33

-We used the zoom, no try.

0:25:330:25:35

-Not clear, not obvious. Scrum.

0:25:350:25:39

-The Hurricanes' scrum

-is under pressure.

0:25:430:25:46

-Romain Poite is well-versed

-in the dark arts of the scrum.

0:25:460:25:52

-Spread it, boys.

0:25:520:25:54

-Stander, against the run of play.

0:25:550:25:57

-He's held up around his neck

-by Callum Gibbins.

0:25:570:26:00

-A strong and steady scrum

-from the Lions.

0:26:040:26:07

-Henderson is there again.

-He's having a memorable game.

0:26:070:26:11

-Best. Another Irishman.

0:26:110:26:13

-The captain.

0:26:130:26:15

-Laidlaw makes sure

-he holds on tight to that ball.

0:26:150:26:18

-Kruis. Laidlaw.

-It's on its way this time.

0:26:190:26:23

-Nowell to Halfpenny to Seymour.

0:26:230:26:28

-Tommy Seymour.

0:26:310:26:33

-The move started

-way back in the scrum.

0:26:330:26:36

-The Lions have tightened their grip

-on this game...

0:26:360:26:42

-..against the Super Rugby champions.

0:26:430:26:45

-The big boys are coming in now

-to make their contribution.

0:26:510:26:55

-CJ Stander. Marler.

0:26:550:26:58

-Lousi goes low.

0:27:000:27:02

-The Lions keep things going.

0:27:050:27:07

-Biggar to Joseph.

-He's had a quiet game.

0:27:080:27:11

-The kick over the top.

-George North.

0:27:120:27:14

-Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.

0:27:140:27:18

-Say what you want about George

-North, he always makes his mark.

0:27:180:27:25

-In touch?

0:27:280:27:30

-Has George North scored

-his second try of the night?

0:27:300:27:34

-I hope so.

0:27:340:27:36

-How close was it?

0:27:370:27:39

-His foot just crossed

-after my initial praise.

0:27:450:27:48

-Into the final quarter of the game.

-The Canes need two scores.

0:27:540:27:59

-Jordie Barrett at outside-half.

0:28:000:28:05

-Goosen has replaced Black.

0:28:050:28:08

-There's no way through

-at the moment.

0:28:090:28:12

-Knock-on advantage.

0:28:160:28:18

-More advantage.

-The tackle was around the neck.

0:28:200:28:23

-You can see now why Gatland

-wanted last week's team...

0:28:260:28:30

-..to get 80 minutes in their legs.

0:28:300:28:33

-They're finishing strongly.

0:28:330:28:35

-They are and they're trying

-to spread the ball.

0:28:360:28:39

-Leigh Halfpenny is out wide.

-Great distribution from Biggar.

0:28:390:28:43

-Back for the penalty.

0:28:470:28:49

-Georgie?

0:28:520:28:54

-A lift in the last ruck by No.4.

0:28:550:28:59

-No.4 red.

0:28:590:29:00

-Very untidy.

0:29:100:29:12

-A yellow card.

0:29:140:29:16

-He knew it was coming.

0:29:210:29:23

-That's left the Lions

-under more pressure.

0:29:230:29:29

-This final 15 minutes

-will be a test of their character.

0:29:290:29:34

-Iain Henderson

-has had a great game up until now.

0:29:360:29:39

-The Lions will feel that loss.

0:29:400:29:42

-They must forget about that now

-and get on with the job in hand.

0:29:420:29:47

-Apisai. He finds Lousi.

0:29:520:29:54

-Laumape thunders into Dan Biggar.

0:29:540:29:57

-Quick off-load to Apisai again.

0:30:010:30:04

-The Hurricanes' supporters

-have found their voices.

0:30:040:30:08

-They feel that this game

-is within their grasp.

0:30:080:30:12

-They need a converted try

-fairly quickly.

0:30:120:30:16

-Best with the tackle.

0:30:190:30:21

-Eves.

0:30:220:30:24

-There's plenty of support out wide.

0:30:300:30:33

-Milner-Skudder is the only player

-on the far side of the ruck.

0:30:330:30:37

-They're sliding through and over.

0:30:380:30:41

-The try is inevitable.

0:30:430:30:45

-Rory Best with the first tackle.

0:30:450:30:48

-There's some daylight

-on the far side.

0:30:480:30:51

-Toiroa-Tahuriorangi. Barrett.

0:30:540:30:56

-Out wide. This has worked

-so many times before.

0:30:570:31:00

-Replacement Goosen

-crashes over for the try.

0:31:000:31:05

-Great work.

-The forwards are key to this move.

0:31:080:31:12

-They win the battle. The pass

-cuts out the defensive line.

0:31:120:31:16

-Barrett.

-He cuts the gap to one score.

0:31:240:31:27

-The Lions were racing away

-with this game...

0:31:280:31:31

-..but the Hurricanes

-have fought back.

0:31:310:31:34

-Hurricanes 24 - Lions 31.

0:31:340:31:38

-Abbott.

0:31:440:31:46

-Here they come again.

0:31:480:31:50

-Biggar's ready for Laumape.

0:31:500:31:52

-Replacement Cory Jane is out wide.

0:31:520:31:55

-Lousi goes down the middle.

0:31:560:31:58

-The deft pass finds Hauiti-Parapara,

-the replacement scrum-half.

0:31:580:32:04

-The Canes are there -

-have they scored another try?

0:32:050:32:08

-They're convinced they have.

0:32:080:32:12

-The crowd are in agreement.

0:32:140:32:16

-Straight over.

-They dive towards the try-line.

0:32:190:32:24

-Yes, this is a try.

0:32:250:32:26

-The Lions will find it hard

-to stop them now.

0:32:280:32:31

-They could run away with it.

0:32:310:32:33

-Romain, you may award the try.

0:32:390:32:42

-Happy with the grounding.

0:32:420:32:44

-The try is good, the try stands.

0:32:440:32:46

-The Canes trailed by 14 points

-a few minutes ago.

0:32:540:32:58

-The scores are level, 31-31.

0:32:580:33:02

-It's been some game.

0:33:070:33:09

-Looking back over the 80 minutes,

-neither team deserves to lose.

0:33:110:33:15

-A victory would be a huge boost

-for the Lions.

0:33:160:33:19

-Can the Lions get their hands on

-the ball? The Canes want to run it.

0:33:210:33:26

-Well done, Biggar.

0:33:280:33:30

-Well done, Biggar.

-

-He'll have a sore stomach tonight.

0:33:300:33:33

-The Lions have their hands

-on the ball.

0:33:360:33:40

-It's not over yet.

0:33:400:33:42

-There's still life left

-in this game.

0:33:420:33:45

-Is there one more twist

-in this game?

0:33:450:33:49

-It has been a remarkable match

-at the Westpac Stadium.

0:33:490:33:53

-Could a drop goal win it?

0:33:540:33:57

-We're in the middle of Wellington

-which will be a noisy place tonight.

0:33:570:34:03

-Can the Lions find a way

-to win this game...

0:34:040:34:08

-..in the dying moments?

0:34:080:34:10

-The clock went red

-a minute and a half ago.

0:34:100:34:13

-It's too far for Biggar

-to attempt a drop goal.

0:34:130:34:16

-It's slow ball.

0:34:180:34:19

-Here it comes. Will it be

-the grand prize or the wooden spoon?

0:34:190:34:23

-It falls short.

0:34:240:34:26

-It's all-square

-at the Westpac Stadium.

0:34:270:34:33

-So close in the end.

0:34:330:34:35

-A smile on Jordie Barrett's face.

0:34:350:34:38

-They haven't lost the game

-but they didn't win it either.

0:34:380:34:42

-The Lions are in precisely

-the same position.

0:34:420:34:45

-It was as close as that.

0:34:470:34:49

-The game is over at the Westpac.

-The final score is 31-31.

0:34:500:34:54

-Honours even between

-the Hurricanes and the Lions.

0:34:550:34:58

-They will be back here on Saturday

-for the crucial Second Test.

0:34:590:35:03

-What a finale.

0:35:060:35:07

-The Hurricanes

-found their second wind...

0:35:070:35:10

-..but the Lions clung on for a draw.

0:35:100:35:12

-Andrew and Emyr will analyse

-the game for us after the break.

0:35:220:35:24

-31-31 was the final score between

-the Hurricanes and the Lions.

0:35:260:35:31

-We'll dissect the game in a moment.

-First, the reaction from Wellington.

0:35:310:35:35

-The back three didn't get

-a huge number of opportunities.

0:35:360:35:40

-Tommy Seymour

-took a couple of his chances...

0:35:400:35:43

-..and George North was a bit unlucky

-when he put a foot in touch.

0:35:440:35:48

-That's quite significant

-in the game.

0:35:480:35:51

-It would have given us

-a more comfortable margin.

0:35:510:35:55

-I will have a look

-at the tape tonight.

0:35:550:35:58

-We'll meet as coaches tomorrow

-to pick the Second Test team.

0:35:580:36:06

-Gats has made it clear

-in his selection...

0:36:060:36:09

-..and in what he vocalizes to the

-players that you're never out of it.

0:36:100:36:14

-There's possibilities

-to get in that squad.

0:36:140:36:17

-That's the attitude everyone takes.

0:36:180:36:20

-You have to be aware

-and you have to accept...

0:36:200:36:23

-..that there are guys

-who played tonight...

0:36:230:36:26

-..that will be their last game

-in a Lions shirt.

0:36:260:36:29

-As a few boys said in midweek...

0:36:290:36:31

-..that's got to be a

-motivation point in itself for guys.

0:36:320:36:36

-I think everyone

-out there tonight...

0:36:360:36:38

-..played like it may be

-their last time.

0:36:380:36:41

-It might have allowed guys

-opportunities come the test side.

0:36:410:36:47

-Four tries to three.

0:36:470:36:49

-Two of their tries were an

-intercept and a dropped high ball.

0:36:490:36:53

-Yeah, when I reflect on that game...

0:36:550:36:58

-..the Hurricanes

-had the better of the game.

0:36:580:37:01

-Neither side will be happy

-with the draw.

0:37:010:37:04

-We probably,

-I don't know what we are...

0:37:040:37:07

-..but it's a bit like

-kissing your sister.

0:37:070:37:10

-An interesting evaluation

-of the final score.

0:37:130:37:16

-Emyr, let's start there.

-who will be happier with the draw?

0:37:160:37:21

-I don't think either side

-will be happy.

0:37:220:37:25

-Having said that, I think a draw

-was a fair reflection.

0:37:250:37:30

-The Lions won the first half and

-the Hurricanes won the second half.

0:37:300:37:35

-It was a good game.

0:37:350:37:36

-It was a good game.

-Let's start with the Lions.

0:37:360:37:40

-Their first try came

-from the blitz defence...

0:37:400:37:45

-..we've mentioned so many times.

0:37:450:37:48

-It's important to use this system

-against teams in New Zealand.

0:37:480:37:52

-They like to spread the ball

-and you have to come up quickly.

0:37:530:37:57

-They're conceding

-too many tries at the moment...

0:37:570:38:00

-..but here, the Lions show

-how to do it properly.

0:38:000:38:03

-Seymour is up quickly,

-Laidlaw comes up with him.

0:38:030:38:06

-Often we see the last man,

-the winger, staying back.

0:38:070:38:10

-Laidlaw has come up with him and

-that turns into a try for Seymour.

0:38:100:38:16

-The player's in support

-and scores a great try.

0:38:170:38:20

-A great try after some good work.

0:38:200:38:23

-There were examples of the defence

-not at its best.

0:38:230:38:29

-We can see the Lions

-holding back here.

0:38:290:38:32

-On the other clip,

-they came up quickly.

0:38:320:38:34

-They stay back, they lose the battle

-on the advantage line.

0:38:350:38:39

-Once you lose that,

-they will punish you.

0:38:390:38:41

-They go through the phases...

0:38:420:38:44

-..then spread the ball

-and score in the corner.

0:38:440:38:47

-The Lions have to put more pressure

-on the attacking line.

0:38:470:38:51

-When the fly-half gets the ball,

-he has plenty of time and options.

0:38:510:38:56

-They can't let that happen on

-Saturday against the All Blacks.

0:38:560:39:01

-We know they will be very strong.

0:39:010:39:03

-Like the Hurricanes today, they can

-conjure something up out of nothing.

0:39:040:39:10

-They're so comfortable

-with the ball in hand.

0:39:100:39:13

-When they create these open spaces,

-they choose the correct options.

0:39:130:39:17

-We can see there's space here,

-we know where the player is going.

0:39:170:39:22

-They're all on the same wavelength,

-they know what's happening.

0:39:220:39:26

-They're just so clinical

-when they have the possession.

0:39:270:39:30

-Once again,

-they have different options.

0:39:310:39:34

-The ball back inside, the winger

-comes in on the blind-side.

0:39:340:39:38

-They end up scoring a great try.

0:39:380:39:41

-It just shows

-how you can create a try.

0:39:410:39:44

-It's important that the Lions

-can emulate this on the weekend.

0:39:440:39:49

-They are great at it.

0:39:490:39:51

-There are five players circled here

-waiting for the ball.

0:39:520:39:56

-It makes it so difficult

-for the defenders...

0:39:560:40:00

-..to control the situation.

0:40:000:40:02

-That time, they only just manage it.

0:40:020:40:05

-It just emphasises

-how dangerous they are.

0:40:050:40:07

-They find space

-where no other team can find it.

0:40:080:40:13

-The debate will continue...

0:40:130:40:16

-..who did enough

-to stake a claim for a test place?

0:40:160:40:21

-There's no doubt about it,

-the second rows shone today.

0:40:210:40:25

-Let's begin with Iain Henderson.

-Did he do enough today?

0:40:250:40:30

-For me, he did. A great performance,

-he was prominent in the second half.

0:40:300:40:35

-He was playing like a flanker.

0:40:350:40:39

-He puts a lot of pressure

-on the kickers.

0:40:390:40:42

-He catches the ball and he's away.

-We saw this time after time.

0:40:420:40:47

-I don't think we've seen this

-from another second row on tour.

0:40:470:40:51

-He picks the ball up and he's away.

0:40:510:40:53

-He crosses the advantage line,

-he follows the kick...

0:40:540:40:57

-..a great pass to put

-George North under the posts.

0:40:570:41:00

-His was so busy

-during the second half.

0:41:010:41:03

-Unfortunately, he received

-a yellow card. That turned the game.

0:41:030:41:07

-That might count against him

-for the Second Test.

0:41:070:41:12

-What does that tell us

-about his discipline?

0:41:120:41:15

-The Lions led by 14 points...

0:41:150:41:17

-..when he left the field

-with 12 minutes to go.

0:41:180:41:21

-Some would say that yellow card

-cost them the victory.

0:41:210:41:25

-It did make a difference

-but he was clearing out a ruck.

0:41:250:41:30

-Discipline is so important,

-especially at this level.

0:41:300:41:34

-If you're reduced to 14 men,

-you're asking for trouble.

0:41:340:41:38

-The Hurricanes dominated

-when they had the possession.

0:41:380:41:43

-The Lions were starting to tire

-at this point.

0:41:440:41:48

-Warren Gatland

-resisted the temptation...

0:41:480:41:51

-..to bring on the Welsh players.

0:41:510:41:53

-He said he'd decided against it...

0:41:540:41:56

-..because the press had talked about

-devaluing the Lions' jersey.

0:41:560:42:01

-Was that the right decision

-from him?

0:42:010:42:03

-I'm not sure,

-but I find it very strange.

0:42:040:42:06

-I've played for Gatland...

0:42:070:42:08

-..and I know he never keeps

-his front row and forwards...

0:42:090:42:12

-..on the field for 80 minutes.

0:42:120:42:14

-He's done that this week

-and last week.

0:42:140:42:17

-I find it very odd.

-What do you think, Em?

0:42:170:42:20

-I agree with you.

0:42:200:42:21

-I don't think anyone

-would have had a problem...

0:42:220:42:25

-..with Gareth Davies

-being on the pitch.

0:42:250:42:28

-He's better than Laidlaw.

0:42:280:42:30

-The forwards were exhausted

-before Henderson left the field.

0:42:300:42:34

-You could see them

-starting to drop off.

0:42:340:42:36

-He should have made changes.

0:42:370:42:39

-The victory might have been

-less important to him...

0:42:390:42:43

-..than devaluing the jersey.

0:42:430:42:46

-Talking of

-an 80-minute performance...

0:42:460:42:49

-..Henderson's partner in the second

-row, Courtney Lawes, was prominent.

0:42:490:42:54

-Courtney Lawes came off early,

-but he played well while he was on.

0:42:540:42:58

-I think these two will have caused

-Gatland some headaches.

0:42:580:43:02

-It'll be a difficult choice

-for the test team on the weekend.

0:43:030:43:07

-Courtney Lawes worked hard.

0:43:080:43:09

-He didn't see a lot of the ball...

0:43:090:43:11

-..but when he had it,

-he made the right decisions.

0:43:120:43:14

-He puts the ball on the ground,

-they can clear their lines.

0:43:150:43:18

-This is one of the most

-difficult skills in the game...

0:43:180:43:22

-..securing the ball in the air.

0:43:220:43:24

-This will be such

-an important area on Saturday.

0:43:240:43:27

-The All Blacks regularly get

-the ball back from that position.

0:43:280:43:33

-Andrew said he left

-after 54 minutes.

0:43:330:43:36

-Is that an indication that Gatland

-is considering him for Saturday?

0:43:360:43:42

-He'll definitely be in his mind

-but Henderson had such a good game.

0:43:420:43:47

-He was crucial today so I'm not sure

-which way Warren Gatland will go.

0:43:480:43:53

-We had a shock last week when he

-chose Liam Williams at full-back.

0:43:540:43:58

-It'll be interesting.

0:43:590:44:00

-Head on the block,

-which changes will happen?

0:44:000:44:04

-We've spoken about the second rows.

-Would you make changes for Saturday?

0:44:040:44:10

-In the First Test,

-the rucks were too quick.

0:44:110:44:14

-We have to pick players

-that slow the ball down.

0:44:140:44:17

-When I look at the front row,

-do we have the personnel?

0:44:180:44:22

-Rory Best

-is one of the best at doing that.

0:44:220:44:25

-We've had problems in the scrum,

-he's also a great scrummager.

0:44:250:44:29

-I would bring Rory Best

-into the front row.

0:44:300:44:33

-In the second row, that's a major

-headache at the moment.

0:44:330:44:37

-Warburton would be a major choice.

0:44:380:44:40

-He must come in - there is no-one

-better than him over the ball.

0:44:400:44:45

-He's strong, hard to move

-and we need him on the pitch.

0:44:450:44:48

-Any changes in the backs, Emyr?

0:44:480:44:51

-Personally, I would make changes.

0:44:520:44:55

-I have to disagree with you,

-I would bring in Ken Owens.

0:44:550:44:59

-Rory Best isn't the best

-line-out thrower we have.

0:44:590:45:03

-100% today.

0:45:030:45:05

-When the pressure's on him,

-he can make mistakes.

0:45:050:45:09

-We saw that during the Six Nations

-and when he's played for Ulster.

0:45:090:45:13

-We've seen him falter.

0:45:130:45:15

-I'd also bring Sexton in.

0:45:160:45:18

-I'd start Rhys Webb as scrum-half

-and Sexton at No.10...

0:45:180:45:22

-..just to spark some life

-in the backs.

0:45:220:45:25

-If you want to beat the All Blacks,

-you can't do it up front.

0:45:250:45:29

-There's an element of risk,

-but when it works...

0:45:300:45:33

-..that's the only chance we'll get.

0:45:340:45:36

-Is Gatland listening to you?

-Time will tell.

0:45:370:45:41

-Thank you both for now.

0:45:410:45:43

-It's a big week in Wellington

-as we know.

0:45:430:45:47

-The city and its people are excited.

0:45:470:45:50

-Welcome to Wellington.

0:45:590:46:02

-Welcome to Wellington.

-This is my town.

0:46:050:46:07

-I was born and raised

-in this beautiful city.

0:46:100:46:14

-There's an amazing vibe

-to this place.

0:46:140:46:17

-It's the coolest capital

-in the world.

0:46:170:46:20

-It's got a very diverse culture.

0:46:210:46:24

-Because of its geography,

-it's very compact.

0:46:240:46:27

-Everyone's right

-in the middle of the city.

0:46:270:46:30

-Other people say it's too windy...

0:46:340:46:36

-..but compared to some other places

-here, it's not too bad.

0:46:370:46:41

-We've been here 13 years now.

0:46:420:46:44

-It's great,

-we get lots of Welsh people in.

0:46:450:46:47

-This is more like

-the Welsh Embassy now.

0:46:480:46:50

-We have it all in Wellington,

-the best place to be.

0:46:520:46:54

-We're looking forward to hosting

-the Lions.

0:47:000:47:03

-There'll be lots of red around

-but the town will be painted black.

0:47:030:47:07

-Go, All Blacks.

0:47:080:47:09

-It's been incredible

-to see people from home.

0:47:100:47:13

-You don't feel you're

-the other side of the world.

0:47:130:47:17

-We've been waiting for 12 years

-for this. We're hugely excited.

0:47:180:47:22

-The test matches at the

-Westpac Stadium are really good.

0:47:220:47:26

-We call it the Cake Tin. When people

-come into the tin, we smash them.

0:47:280:47:31

-I think this team is the stronger of

-the squads I've seen come out here.

0:47:350:47:40

-I think they can go

-into the game in Wellington...

0:47:400:47:43

-..with every confidence they can

-run New Zealand even more closely.

0:47:430:47:47

-Ioane! Ioane for the corner.

0:47:480:47:50

-The game is out of reach now.

0:47:510:47:54

-There was a lot of confidence

-from the Lions...

0:47:540:47:56

-..but we showed them

-what we're capable of.

0:47:570:47:59

-If the Lions win,

-it'll rip the series apart...

0:48:000:48:03

-..but I'm confident

-the All Blacks will do it.

0:48:030:48:05

-We want them to win here.

0:48:050:48:07

-If we're going to win one,

-it must be in Wellington.

0:48:070:48:11

-It's a great country, a great city

-and I'm proud to call it home.

0:48:140:48:18

-Welcome to our capital.

0:48:190:48:20

-Everyone has a different opinion

-in Wellington.

0:48:250:48:28

-Who will take the honours

-on Saturday, Emyr?

0:48:290:48:32

-You have to put your money

-on New Zealand.

0:48:320:48:34

-They'll improve. It'll be difficult

-for the Lions to raise their game.

0:48:340:48:39

-That's why I'd put my money

-on New Zealand.

0:48:390:48:42

-Is there any hope, Andrew?

0:48:420:48:44

-The Lions have to play

-the perfect game.

0:48:450:48:47

-They can't make mistakes.

-They have to be disciplined.

0:48:470:48:51

-I have to agree with Emyr.

-I think New Zealand are too strong.

0:48:510:48:55

-They score too many tries and I see

-them winning the Second Test.

0:48:550:48:59

-You can see highlights

-of the Second Test on S4C...

0:48:590:49:05

-..at 7.30pm on Saturday night.

0:49:050:49:08

-There are only two games to go.

0:49:110:49:13

-The series will soon be over.

0:49:130:49:15

-Two more chances to create history.

0:49:160:49:19

-Gatland's boys must improve,

-but the series is still alive.

0:49:190:49:23

-Cheerio.
