-The players, like the supporters,

-have waited 12 years for this.

-It's spread quickly.

-A try for the hooker.

-Liam Williams. Lovely.

-He's put the Lions

-on the front foot.

-Back inside, Jonathan Davies

-for the corner. Back to O'Brien.

-The All Blacks sacked us

-pretty effectively tonight.

-We need to be tough on ourselves

-but honest about our performance...

-..and what we need to improve.

-Wellington is next, the most

-challenging week of the tour.

-The Hurricanes are the opposition.

-Super Rugby champions.

-A team that has plenty of history

-and current All Blacks.

-I always put pressure

-on this team to win.

-Every time the Hurricanes run out,

-there's an expectation to win.

-They get an opportunity

-to play against the Lions.

-They're quality sides

-to play against.

-They're the Super 12

-defending champions.

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

-to be a good night for us.

-That's been our big focus.

-After the disappointment

-of the opening test...

-..the Lions are in Wellington...

-..at the Westpac Stadium

-to take on the Hurricanes.

-One final chance

-to persuade the boss...

-..that they deserve

-to face the All Blacks.

-I'm joined by Andrew Coombs and Emyr

-Lewis who will analyse the game.

-There are

-English subtitles available.

-Our commentary team for this game,

-Wyn Gruffydd and Dafydd Jones.

-The final midweek game of the tour.

-Two or more players could play

-themselves into the 2nd Test squad.

-For the Canes, Savea, Laumape,

-Fifita and Jordie Barrett...

-..have been released from

-Steve Hansen's extended squad...

-..in a team that includes

-Milner-Skudder and To'omaga-Allen.

-Both have worn the All Black shirt,

-as has Cory Jane on the bench.

-Rory Best leads the same pack...

-..that battled to victory

-against the Chiefs.

-CJ Stander and Tipuric will hope

-to catch the eye in the back-row.

-Laidlaw and Biggar

-are the half-backs.

-Nowell steps back from the wing

-to full-back.

-George North will be pushing

-his claim for a second Test place.

-Tommy Seymour fills in

-on the other wing.

-As it was back in 2013, Rory Best

-now leads the midweek team.

-He knows that his side can give

-the squad a welcome lift...

-..before the 2nd Test on Saturday at

-the Westpac Stadium in Wellington.

-It's the middle of winter

-in Wellington.

-It's cold outside

-but it's warm in the Cake Tin.

-The Hurricanes against the Lions.

-It's the first time the Hurricanes

-have faced international opposition.

-How will they fare against

-the British and Irish Lions?

-The Lions will be hurting

-as a squad...

-..after that loss

-to the All Blacks in Auckland.

-How will this one go, Dafydd Jones?

-Will they still be disappointed

-after the loss in Auckland?

-That wasn't the plan.

-No, they will be disappointed

-after last weekend...

-..but they must look forward

-to the next challenge.

-The Hurricanes are happy to spread

-the ball, this could be some game.

-Jack Nowell with the early

-possession, at full-back.

-Here he is again.

-He will pose problems, just as

-Liam Williams did from the back...

-..in the First Test

-and against the Chiefs last week.

-The Lions stay in their own half.

-Laidlaw with the high ball.

-It's taken cleanly by Jordie

-Barrett, the youngest brother.

-It is said that he is

-the more talented of the three.

-If that's true,

-we can expect some fireworks.

-A chance.

-Centre Vince Aso gets his hands

-on the ball for the first time.

-The Hurricanes show their intent

-right from the off.

-The commentator's curse strikes

-again as Barrett drops the ball.

-It's on its way. Best.

-He doesn't try to spread the ball

-at the first opportunity.

-Tipuric.

-George North drifts over

-from the blind-side.

-He'll be keen to impose himself

-on the game...

-..if he wants to fight his way

-into the Second Test squad.

-Great work by the Lions. They've

-gained territory from that line.

-The referee's playing advantage.

-Jack Nowell could create something

-out of nothing.

-The advantage is still there.

-They'll come back.

-The defence was up quickly

-putting the Lions under pressure.

-Dan Biggar is eager...

-No.6, off-side.

-..but they'll opt

-for the three points.

-Fifita is the player penalised.

-An easy kick for the ever dependable

-Dan Biggar.

-The first points of the game

-with 10 minutes on the clock.

-The British and Irish Lions

-nudge ahead 3-0.

-Down from Lousi.

-Good hands in the middle

-from Vince Aso.

-Out to Julian Savea.

-Jack Nowell was standing in his way.

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

-Those are the same physical

-measurements as George North.

-Back on the blind-side again.

-The Hurricanes feel that's their

-best option. Barrett goes to ground.

-15 metres out from the try-line.

-Lousi with the rat's tail

-hanging from the back of his head.

-Courtney Lawes with the tackle.

-Black standing in at fly-half.

-Laumape.

-Quick ball.

-The interception by Tommy Seymour.

-It's actually Laidlaw.

-To the halfway line and over it.

-Where's the support? Here it comes.

-Here's Tommy Seymour.

-The try was bound to come from the

-moment Greig Laidlaw intercepted.

-A great try for the Lions.

-A try from nothing,

-a length-of-the-field try.

-A try from nothing.

-Laidlaw reads the play.

-The interception

-and Seymour's in support.

-He off-loads from the ground.

-The try. He has the pace

-to reach the try-line.

-Laidlaw with that interception.

-He thought he could go all the way.

-The legs aren't

-as quick as they were.

-Good to see Tommy Seymour

-having reason to smile.

-Ricitelli finds his captain,

-Brad Shields.

-Callum Gibbins,

-the open-side flanker.

-He joins the Glasgow Warriors next

-season on a three-year contract.

-The Lions have stolen it.

-Come on, George.

-He pumps his legs

-through the first tackle.

-Laidlaw. Back on the blind-side.

-Haskell is with him.

-Henderson. He steps back in.

-Biggar. A great kick.

-Jonathan Joseph was held back.

-That's what Romain Poite has seen.

-Romain Poite plays advantage.

-Courtney Lawes.

-The Lions progress

-through Dan Coles.

-Laidlaw to Biggar.

-To Marler.

-He turns out of the tackle.

-The advantage is still there.

-Brad Shields has stolen it

-but Poite calls them back.

-Back to the penalty.

-Great work from the Lions.

-Dan Biggar controls the game.

-Dan Biggar with the kick.

-Joseph is so effective in the air.

-Toiroa-Tahuriorangi

-tackled him in the air.

-This kick is almost 50 metres,

-as you can see.

-It's in the centre of the field.

-It's within reach.

-A great kick from the outside-half.

-Dan Biggar, he's tied his bootlaces

-tightly tonight.

-He stretches the Lions' advantage

-to 13 points.

-Early signs, Dafydd,

-that the Lions' scrum is on top.

-They're making it difficult tonight.

-Another penalty.

-A technical offence in the scrum

-says Romain Poite.

-Biggar came in with the tackle.

-Toiroa-Tahuriorangi

-keeps the ball tight on the fringes.

-Will it come out this time?

-Toiroa-Tahuriorangi wants someone

-to carry the ball a little further.

-Marler wasn't sure

-what he was doing.

-It looked high from here.

-Hurricanes threaten.

-No team has scored more points

-in Super Rugby than the Hurricanes.

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

-for three points but they want more.

-The feet go in on Courtney Lawes.

-He was in the way.

-Out to To'omaga-Allen,

-the tight-head prop.

-He's already been capped

-by the All Blacks.

-Ricitelli.

-Tipuric with the tackle on him.

-Almost up to the try-line.

-They're there.

-The ball's been grounded. Romain

-Poite lifts his arm in the air.

-The Hurricanes have their first try.

-The Lions looked comfortable.

-Gibbins is so low, so powerful.

-It was too difficult for Best

-to stop him.

-The Hurricanes needed that try.

-The Lions were keeping

-the scoreboard ticking.

-Jordie Barrett adds the extras.

-The Hurricanes are back within

-one score. Hurricanes 7 - Lions 13.

-Milner-Skudder scored a try in the

-2015 World Cup Final in Twickenham.

-He's played little rugby since then

-because of injury.

-A penalty against the Hurricanes.

-Romain Poite has eyes everywhere.

-Yes, he has.

-They targeted Laidlaw.

-The Hurricanes crowd weren't happy

-when the Lions opted for the posts.

-Points are important,

-as is the victory...

-..when you look back

-at that First Test on Saturday.

-Dan Biggar's kick

-is another boost for the Lions.

-The Lions now lead by ten points.

-Nowell chases it.

-It's claimed by Abbott.

-Here's a chance

-as the game breaks up.

-Tipuric, Biggar.

-He found a gap.

-Right in front of the referee.

-You must release on the ground.

-Savea's been penalised.

-Eight on the ground, not releasing.

-Brad Shields was there first. He

-hadn't released when Savea came in.

-It's such a fine line.

-Five minutes until half-time.

-Biggar's planted that one.

-Down in the corner,

-a little bit overambitious.

-Barrett, off his right foot.

-Straight to Leigh Halfpenny.

-He's been smashed in the tackle

-by Jordie Barrett.

-Lawes. This is what we wanted

-to see from the Northampton lock.

-Well done, Lawes.

-Well done, Lawes.

-

-Well done, Biggar.

-Haskell.

-Plenty of movement.

-The Lions are trying

-to lift the tempo.

-Tipuric is so comfortable

-with the ball in hand. Marler.

-This looks good.

-Jack Nowell. He almost got away.

-Very unlucky.

-That's better from the Lions.

-The ability to go wide

-with sheer pace.

-Haskell and Tipuric

-trying to secure possession.

-Barrett.

-He sweeps the ball downfield.

-Halfpenny needs to change

-his boots at half-time.

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

-He needs longer studs.

-He was there to compete.

-Out to George North.

-Magnetic North!

-That try will do him

-the world of good.

-Reward for being awake.

-Dan Biggar aiming high.

-Leigh Halfpenny.

-Great hands from Henderson.

-Great work.

-George North crosses.

-Two more points for Dan Biggar.

-I'm sure Warren Gatland

-is scratching his head.

-A great chase from Halfpenny.

-A wonderful pass

-from Iain Henderson.

-A crucial time in this game.

-The Lions are keeping

-the Hurricanes out.

-The ball at the back,

-held by the lock Sam Lousi.

-Ricitelli, the hooker.

-Look at the Lions

-demolishing that maul.

-Haskell, Tipuric and Best

-are right in the middle of it.

-The ball is on the ground.

-Romain Poite is in the right place.

-Excellent work by the Lions.

-Will we look back

-at that passage of play...

-..as a crucial one in deciding

-the outcome of this game?

-For now, at half-time,

-the Canes 7 - the Lions 23.

-Welcome back to the Westpac Stadium.

-The Lions leads 23-7.

-The tries in the first half...

-..have helped the Lions

-open up a substantial lead.

-The Hurricanes are the current

-holders of the Super Rugby title.

-Trailing by this score

-will be a blow for them...

-..but it will boost the Lions.

-They will return to

-the Westpac Stadium on Saturday...

-..for the second and crucial test

-to keep them in the series.

-Toiroa-Tahuriorangi,

-a little bit frustrated.

-He off-loads to Fifita.

-Out to Abbott.

-The pass back inside to Savea.

-Out it goes to Laumape.

-He crosses in the corner.

-The best possible start to

-the second half for the Hurricanes.

-The perfect start

-for the Hurricanes.

-That inside pass, perfectly timed.

-That's a try and a half.

-Jordie Barrett.

-He's turned it in.

-An excellent kick.

-12 becomes 14.

-The gap is down to nine points.

-A promising attacking position

-for the Canes.

-The Lions

-won't want to let them score here.

-Look at that angle by Laumape.

-He's featuring

-more and more in the game.

-Straight at Dan Biggar,

-the injured Dan Biggar.

-Barrett, he tries to release himself

-from the tackle.

-Toiroa-Tahuriorangi.

-Out to Ricitelli.

-Back into the heart of the defence.

-The referee is playing advantage.

-Savea.

-He picks up the pace.

-Lawes halts him. Romain Poite

-is still playing advantage.

-The over-the-top pass from Aso.

-Knock-on. 11 off-side.

-Back to the penalty.

-Great tempo, great pace

-from the Hurricanes.

-Barrett is ready to bring his side

-to within one score.

-An easy three points

-for the full-back.

-Canes 17 - Lions 23.

-Ten unanswered points

-for the Hurricanes...

-..at the start of the second half.

-Milner-Skudder has the ball.

-Shields.

-He's back on his feet. Henderson.

-Who's with him? The forwards arrive

-in two and threes.

-Dan Coles carries Lousi with him.

-That's the Canes' try-line

-in the background.

-Romain Poite has seen something,

-he might bring the play back.

-Marler. He turns his shoulder into

-the storm. Penalty to the Lions.

-The referee is playing advantage.

-We know that Romain Poite

-will return to the offence...

-..in a minute or two.

-Laidlaw.

-Biggar brings George North in.

-Tipuric this time.

-Great hands to Stander. Great

-understanding between 7 and 8.

-Here's where Nowell can make

-an impact. A high tackle on him.

-The Lions want a try. Biggar wasn't

-hoping to see Dan Coles there.

-Kieran Read would have known

-not to put a prop there.

-A yellow card

-for Toiroa-Tahuriorangi.

-Romain Poite had given

-a final warning.

-There's so much going on

-off the ball in this game.

-It's a high blow.

-The Lions, for the first time in

-the second half, pick up the pace.

-Laidlaw, there was a lot

-of talk about his standing leg...

-..being targeted

-as he made the kicks.

-Henderson again.

-He's cantering downfield.

-He's determined. Biggar, plenty

-of support. Lawes out to Halfpenny.

-Seymour's with him.

-Halfpenny is still going.

-Seymour and George North in tandem.

-Lawes delayed the pass too long.

-They had the numerical advantage.

-The Lions are there in numbers.

-Eight metres out

-from the Canes' try-line.

-Seymour takes it up

-and goes to ground.

-Haskell with those muscular arms.

-Tipuric in support.

-Marler again.

-He gains valuable yards.

-Closer and closer. If anyone

-deserves a try, it's Iain Henderson.

-Romain Poite couldn't be closer.

-He's not as sure this time

-as he was in the first half.

-Henderson started the move

-some time ago.

-Henderson has had a great game.

-So effective.

-I think this is a try.

-Try, yes or no?

-That's the question.

-Henderson is so powerful.

-He drives on to the try-line.

-Was there whitewash under the ball?

-Was there whitewash under the ball?

-

-I don't think so.

-There is no clear evidence

-that the ball has been grounded.

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

-This is what we feared.

-We used the zoom, no try.

-Not clear, not obvious. Scrum.

-The Hurricanes' scrum

-is under pressure.

-Romain Poite is well-versed

-in the dark arts of the scrum.

-Spread it, boys.

-Stander, against the run of play.

-He's held up around his neck

-by Callum Gibbins.

-A strong and steady scrum

-from the Lions.

-Henderson is there again.

-He's having a memorable game.

-Best. Another Irishman.

-The captain.

-Laidlaw makes sure

-he holds on tight to that ball.

-Kruis. Laidlaw.

-It's on its way this time.

-Nowell to Halfpenny to Seymour.

-Tommy Seymour.

-The move started

-way back in the scrum.

-The Lions have tightened their grip

-on this game...

-..against the Super Rugby champions.

-The big boys are coming in now

-to make their contribution.

-CJ Stander. Marler.

-Lousi goes low.

-The Lions keep things going.

-Biggar to Joseph.

-He's had a quiet game.

-The kick over the top.

-George North.

-Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.

-Say what you want about George

-North, he always makes his mark.

-In touch?

-Has George North scored

-his second try of the night?

-I hope so.

-How close was it?

-His foot just crossed

-after my initial praise.

-Into the final quarter of the game.

-The Canes need two scores.

-Jordie Barrett at outside-half.

-Goosen has replaced Black.

-There's no way through

-at the moment.

-Knock-on advantage.

-More advantage.

-The tackle was around the neck.

-You can see now why Gatland

-wanted last week's team...

-..to get 80 minutes in their legs.

-They're finishing strongly.

-They are and they're trying

-to spread the ball.

-Leigh Halfpenny is out wide.

-Great distribution from Biggar.

-Back for the penalty.

-Georgie?

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

-No.4 red.

-Very untidy.

-A yellow card.

-He knew it was coming.

-That's left the Lions

-under more pressure.

-This final 15 minutes

-will be a test of their character.

-Iain Henderson

-has had a great game up until now.

-The Lions will feel that loss.

-They must forget about that now

-and get on with the job in hand.

-Apisai. He finds Lousi.

-Laumape thunders into Dan Biggar.

-Quick off-load to Apisai again.

-The Hurricanes' supporters

-have found their voices.

-They feel that this game

-is within their grasp.

-They need a converted try

-fairly quickly.

-Best with the tackle.

-Eves.

-There's plenty of support out wide.

-Milner-Skudder is the only player

-on the far side of the ruck.

-They're sliding through and over.

-The try is inevitable.

-Rory Best with the first tackle.

-There's some daylight

-on the far side.

-Toiroa-Tahuriorangi. Barrett.

-Out wide. This has worked

-so many times before.

-Replacement Goosen

-crashes over for the try.

-Great work.

-The forwards are key to this move.

-They win the battle. The pass

-cuts out the defensive line.

-Barrett.

-He cuts the gap to one score.

-The Lions were racing away

-with this game...

-..but the Hurricanes

-have fought back.

-Hurricanes 24 - Lions 31.

-Abbott.

-Here they come again.

-Biggar's ready for Laumape.

-Replacement Cory Jane is out wide.

-Lousi goes down the middle.

-The deft pass finds Hauiti-Parapara,

-the replacement scrum-half.

-The Canes are there -

-have they scored another try?

-They're convinced they have.

-The crowd are in agreement.

-Straight over.

-They dive towards the try-line.

-Yes, this is a try.

-The Lions will find it hard

-to stop them now.

-They could run away with it.

-Romain, you may award the try.

-Happy with the grounding.

-The try is good, the try stands.

-The Canes trailed by 14 points

-a few minutes ago.

-The scores are level, 31-31.

-It's been some game.

-Looking back over the 80 minutes,

-neither team deserves to lose.

-A victory would be a huge boost

-for the Lions.

-Can the Lions get their hands on

-the ball? The Canes want to run it.

-Well done, Biggar.

-Well done, Biggar.

-

-He'll have a sore stomach tonight.

-The Lions have their hands

-on the ball.

-It's not over yet.

-There's still life left

-in this game.

-Is there one more twist

-in this game?

-It has been a remarkable match

-at the Westpac Stadium.

-Could a drop goal win it?

-We're in the middle of Wellington

-which will be a noisy place tonight.

-Can the Lions find a way

-to win this game...

-..in the dying moments?

-The clock went red

-a minute and a half ago.

-It's too far for Biggar

-to attempt a drop goal.

-It's slow ball.

-Here it comes. Will it be

-the grand prize or the wooden spoon?

-It falls short.

-It's all-square

-at the Westpac Stadium.

-So close in the end.

-A smile on Jordie Barrett's face.

-They haven't lost the game

-but they didn't win it either.

-The Lions are in precisely

-the same position.

-It was as close as that.

-The game is over at the Westpac.

-The final score is 31-31.

-Honours even between

-the Hurricanes and the Lions.

-They will be back here on Saturday

-for the crucial Second Test.

-What a finale.

-The Hurricanes

-found their second wind...

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

-Andrew and Emyr will analyse

-the game for us after the break.

-31-31 was the final score between

-the Hurricanes and the Lions.

-We'll dissect the game in a moment.

-First, the reaction from Wellington.

-The back three didn't get

-a huge number of opportunities.

-Tommy Seymour

-took a couple of his chances...

-..and George North was a bit unlucky

-when he put a foot in touch.

-That's quite significant

-in the game.

-It would have given us

-a more comfortable margin.

-I will have a look

-at the tape tonight.

-We'll meet as coaches tomorrow

-to pick the Second Test team.

-Gats has made it clear

-in his selection...

-..and in what he vocalizes to the

-players that you're never out of it.

-There's possibilities

-to get in that squad.

-That's the attitude everyone takes.

-You have to be aware

-and you have to accept...

-..that there are guys

-who played tonight...

-..that will be their last game

-in a Lions shirt.

-As a few boys said in midweek...

-..that's got to be a

-motivation point in itself for guys.

-I think everyone

-out there tonight...

-..played like it may be

-their last time.

-It might have allowed guys

-opportunities come the test side.

-Four tries to three.

-Two of their tries were an

-intercept and a dropped high ball.

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

-..the Hurricanes

-had the better of the game.

-Neither side will be happy

-with the draw.

-We probably,

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

-..but it's a bit like

-kissing your sister.

-An interesting evaluation

-of the final score.

-Emyr, let's start there.

-who will be happier with the draw?

-I don't think either side

-will be happy.

-Having said that, I think a draw

-was a fair reflection.

-The Lions won the first half and

-the Hurricanes won the second half.

-It was a good game.

-It was a good game.

-Let's start with the Lions.

-Their first try came

-from the blitz defence...

-..we've mentioned so many times.

-It's important to use this system

-against teams in New Zealand.

-They like to spread the ball

-and you have to come up quickly.

-They're conceding

-too many tries at the moment...

-..but here, the Lions show

-how to do it properly.

-Seymour is up quickly,

-Laidlaw comes up with him.

-Often we see the last man,

-the winger, staying back.

-Laidlaw has come up with him and

-that turns into a try for Seymour.

-The player's in support

-and scores a great try.

-A great try after some good work.

-There were examples of the defence

-not at its best.

-We can see the Lions

-holding back here.

-On the other clip,

-they came up quickly.

-They stay back, they lose the battle

-on the advantage line.

-Once you lose that,

-they will punish you.

-They go through the phases...

-..then spread the ball

-and score in the corner.

-The Lions have to put more pressure

-on the attacking line.

-When the fly-half gets the ball,

-he has plenty of time and options.

-They can't let that happen on

-Saturday against the All Blacks.

-We know they will be very strong.

-Like the Hurricanes today, they can

-conjure something up out of nothing.

-They're so comfortable

-with the ball in hand.

-When they create these open spaces,

-they choose the correct options.

-We can see there's space here,

-we know where the player is going.

-They're all on the same wavelength,

-they know what's happening.

-They're just so clinical

-when they have the possession.

-Once again,

-they have different options.

-The ball back inside, the winger

-comes in on the blind-side.

-They end up scoring a great try.

-It just shows

-how you can create a try.

-It's important that the Lions

-can emulate this on the weekend.

-They are great at it.

-There are five players circled here

-waiting for the ball.

-It makes it so difficult

-for the defenders...

-..to control the situation.

-That time, they only just manage it.

-It just emphasises

-how dangerous they are.

-They find space

-where no other team can find it.

-The debate will continue...

-..who did enough

-to stake a claim for a test place?

-There's no doubt about it,

-the second rows shone today.

-Let's begin with Iain Henderson.

-Did he do enough today?

-For me, he did. A great performance,

-he was prominent in the second half.

-He was playing like a flanker.

-He puts a lot of pressure

-on the kickers.

-He catches the ball and he's away.

-We saw this time after time.

-I don't think we've seen this

-from another second row on tour.

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

-He crosses the advantage line,

-he follows the kick...

-..a great pass to put

-George North under the posts.

-His was so busy

-during the second half.

-Unfortunately, he received

-a yellow card. That turned the game.

-That might count against him

-for the Second Test.

-What does that tell us

-about his discipline?

-The Lions led by 14 points...

-..when he left the field

-with 12 minutes to go.

-Some would say that yellow card

-cost them the victory.

-It did make a difference

-but he was clearing out a ruck.

-Discipline is so important,

-especially at this level.

-If you're reduced to 14 men,

-you're asking for trouble.

-The Hurricanes dominated

-when they had the possession.

-The Lions were starting to tire

-at this point.

-Warren Gatland

-resisted the temptation...

-..to bring on the Welsh players.

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

-..because the press had talked about

-devaluing the Lions' jersey.

-Was that the right decision

-from him?

-I'm not sure,

-but I find it very strange.

-I've played for Gatland...

-..and I know he never keeps

-his front row and forwards...

-..on the field for 80 minutes.

-He's done that this week

-and last week.

-I find it very odd.

-What do you think, Em?

-I agree with you.

-I don't think anyone

-would have had a problem...

-..with Gareth Davies

-being on the pitch.

-He's better than Laidlaw.

-The forwards were exhausted

-before Henderson left the field.

-You could see them

-starting to drop off.

-He should have made changes.

-The victory might have been

-less important to him...

-..than devaluing the jersey.

-Talking of

-an 80-minute performance...

-..Henderson's partner in the second

-row, Courtney Lawes, was prominent.

-Courtney Lawes came off early,

-but he played well while he was on.

-I think these two will have caused

-Gatland some headaches.

-It'll be a difficult choice

-for the test team on the weekend.

-Courtney Lawes worked hard.

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

-..but when he had it,

-he made the right decisions.

-He puts the ball on the ground,

-they can clear their lines.

-This is one of the most

-difficult skills in the game...

-..securing the ball in the air.

-This will be such

-an important area on Saturday.

-The All Blacks regularly get

-the ball back from that position.

-Andrew said he left

-after 54 minutes.

-Is that an indication that Gatland

-is considering him for Saturday?

-He'll definitely be in his mind

-but Henderson had such a good game.

-He was crucial today so I'm not sure

-which way Warren Gatland will go.

-We had a shock last week when he

-chose Liam Williams at full-back.

-It'll be interesting.

-Head on the block,

-which changes will happen?

-We've spoken about the second rows.

-Would you make changes for Saturday?

-In the First Test,

-the rucks were too quick.

-We have to pick players

-that slow the ball down.

-When I look at the front row,

-do we have the personnel?

-Rory Best

-is one of the best at doing that.

-We've had problems in the scrum,

-he's also a great scrummager.

-I would bring Rory Best

-into the front row.

-In the second row, that's a major

-headache at the moment.

-Warburton would be a major choice.

-He must come in - there is no-one

-better than him over the ball.

-He's strong, hard to move

-and we need him on the pitch.

-Any changes in the backs, Emyr?

-Personally, I would make changes.

-I have to disagree with you,

-I would bring in Ken Owens.

-Rory Best isn't the best

-line-out thrower we have.

-100% today.

-When the pressure's on him,

-he can make mistakes.

-We saw that during the Six Nations

-and when he's played for Ulster.

-We've seen him falter.

-I'd also bring Sexton in.

-I'd start Rhys Webb as scrum-half

-and Sexton at No.10...

-..just to spark some life

-in the backs.

-If you want to beat the All Blacks,

-you can't do it up front.

-There's an element of risk,

-but when it works...

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

-Is Gatland listening to you?

-Time will tell.

-Thank you both for now.

-It's a big week in Wellington

-as we know.

-The city and its people are excited.

-Welcome to Wellington.

-Welcome to Wellington.

-This is my town.

-I was born and raised

-in this beautiful city.

-There's an amazing vibe

-to this place.

-It's the coolest capital

-in the world.

-It's got a very diverse culture.

-Because of its geography,

-it's very compact.

-Everyone's right

-in the middle of the city.

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

-..but compared to some other places

-here, it's not too bad.

-We've been here 13 years now.

-It's great,

-we get lots of Welsh people in.

-This is more like

-the Welsh Embassy now.

-We have it all in Wellington,

-the best place to be.

-We're looking forward to hosting

-the Lions.

-There'll be lots of red around

-but the town will be painted black.

-Go, All Blacks.

-It's been incredible

-to see people from home.

-You don't feel you're

-the other side of the world.

-We've been waiting for 12 years

-for this. We're hugely excited.

-The test matches at the

-Westpac Stadium are really good.

-We call it the Cake Tin. When people

-come into the tin, we smash them.

-I think this team is the stronger of

-the squads I've seen come out here.

-I think they can go

-into the game in Wellington...

-..with every confidence they can

-run New Zealand even more closely.

-Ioane! Ioane for the corner.

-The game is out of reach now.

-There was a lot of confidence

-from the Lions...

-..but we showed them

-what we're capable of.

-If the Lions win,

-it'll rip the series apart...

-..but I'm confident

-the All Blacks will do it.

-We want them to win here.

-If we're going to win one,

-it must be in Wellington.

-It's a great country, a great city

-and I'm proud to call it home.

-Welcome to our capital.

-Everyone has a different opinion

-in Wellington.

-Who will take the honours

-on Saturday, Emyr?

-You have to put your money

-on New Zealand.

-They'll improve. It'll be difficult

-for the Lions to raise their game.

-That's why I'd put my money

-on New Zealand.

-Is there any hope, Andrew?

-The Lions have to play

-the perfect game.

-They can't make mistakes.

-They have to be disciplined.

-I have to agree with Emyr.

-I think New Zealand are too strong.

-They score too many tries and I see

-them winning the Second Test.

-You can see highlights

-of the Second Test on S4C...

-..at 7.30pm on Saturday night.

-There are only two games to go.

-The series will soon be over.

-Two more chances to create history.

-Gatland's boys must improve,

-but the series is still alive.

-Cheerio.
