0:00:35 > 0:00:37- The language

0:00:39 > 0:00:43- The 'mango urora', a hammerhead - shark, a large ferocious creature.

0:00:43 > 0:00:45- The source of our name, - the people of Te Arawa.

0:00:50 > 0:00:52- This is West. These are the Blues.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55- This is New Zealand rugby - at its best.

0:00:55 > 0:00:57- When our forefathers - sailed to Aoteaora...

0:00:57 > 0:01:00- ..a large shark rescued their boat - from a whirlpool.

0:01:01 > 0:01:06- For the second time in three games - against the Super Rugby sides...

0:01:06 > 0:01:09- ..the Lions have lost.

0:01:10 > 0:01:16- The hammerhead shark is a symbol - of power and strength.

0:01:18 > 0:01:24- Like the hammerhead shark, let what - you fear turn into a strength.

0:01:29 > 0:01:32- Sam Warburton. - Sam Warburton scores the try.

0:01:33 > 0:01:39- Never give up!

0:01:44 > 0:01:47- Yes, the Maori All Black shirt - has a long tradition.

0:01:48 > 0:01:52- This is the biggest test - for Warren Gatland's men so far.

0:01:52 > 0:01:55- They've dubbed it the Fourth Test.

0:01:55 > 0:01:59- After winning two and losing two, - the Lions were hoping for a boost.

0:01:59 > 0:02:04- A victory and a performance to - give Steve Hansen and his charges...

0:02:04 > 0:02:07- ..some food for thought - before the First Test.

0:02:07 > 0:02:12- Deiniol and Rob Jones - have re-joined me in the studio.

0:02:12 > 0:02:14- We'll hear from them later.

0:02:14 > 0:02:17- Let's go straight to the game.

0:02:17 > 0:02:21- English subtitles are available - if you want them.

0:02:21 > 0:02:26- Our commentary team facing the haka - is Gwyn Jones and Gareth Rhys Owen.

0:02:37 > 0:02:40- What theatre in the fog of Rotorua.

0:02:41 > 0:02:44- The timatanga, the Maori haka.

0:02:44 > 0:02:46- The challenge has been set.

0:02:49 > 0:02:52- The Fourth Test, the unofficial - test, the first course.

0:02:52 > 0:02:56- However you describe it, - the Maoris are a quality side.

0:02:56 > 0:02:58- Eight All Blacks in the side.

0:02:58 > 0:03:02- The pack is competitive - with players such as Dixon...

0:03:02 > 0:03:06- ..and the backs - can turn on the style.

0:03:06 > 0:03:10- Ioane and Milner-Skudder - are lightning quick on the wings...

0:03:10 > 0:03:16- ..and No.10 Damien McKenzie, - small in stature, huge in talent.

0:03:17 > 0:03:22- The big news for the Lions - is the call-up for four Welshmen.

0:03:22 > 0:03:26- Cory Hill, Gareth Davies, - Kristian Dacey and Tomas Francis...

0:03:26 > 0:03:29- ..but they are not - in today's match squad.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32- Sam Warburton starts on the bench.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36- O'Brien and O'Mahony - fill in at 6 and 7...

0:03:36 > 0:03:40- ..and an injury to Owen Farrell - gives Sexton a chance to shine.

0:03:40 > 0:03:42- Te'o and Jonathan Davies - in midfield.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45- Davies has only played - 20 minutes so far.

0:03:48 > 0:03:50- Two proud teams.

0:03:50 > 0:03:52- Two historic teams.

0:03:52 > 0:03:59- Two teams that see tradition as - being more important than anything.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02- They go head-to-head in Rotorua.

0:04:08 > 0:04:14- The fog sets to create - an incredible atmosphere here.

0:04:15 > 0:04:17- This is the benchmark for the Lions.

0:04:17 > 0:04:20- They've fielded - a test-strength side.

0:04:20 > 0:04:24- The first mistake by the Maoris. - They're nervous too.

0:04:26 > 0:04:28- Jamie George, the hooker.

0:04:28 > 0:04:31- George Kruis has been a revelation.

0:04:31 > 0:04:33- Watson off his wing.

0:04:33 > 0:04:37- I'm not sure why Watson was chosen - then. You need a ball carrier.

0:04:38 > 0:04:39- George North is the answer.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41- Itoje takes it on.

0:04:43 > 0:04:47- During most of the games, - the Lions have started well...

0:04:47 > 0:04:49- ..in the first five minutes.

0:04:50 > 0:04:54- Here they go again. Ben Te'o - is dangerous. He's well tackled.

0:04:54 > 0:04:56- Dixon with some effective work.

0:04:57 > 0:04:59- Halfpenny under pressure.

0:05:00 > 0:05:03- Itoje. - In the move for a second time.

0:05:03 > 0:05:06- No.7 is O'Brien. No Sam Warburton.

0:05:08 > 0:05:10- How significant is that?

0:05:11 > 0:05:14- Sexton. Te'o once more.

0:05:14 > 0:05:17- Back to Davies. - Faletau was outside him.

0:05:18 > 0:05:22- They've kept the ball for seven - phases. They look comfortable.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25- Kruis again.

0:05:26 > 0:05:28- Sexton at 10.

0:05:28 > 0:05:29- Furlong.

0:05:30 > 0:05:33- He's not the quickest - but he's drawn in some defenders.

0:05:36 > 0:05:38- Here's the captain, O'Mahony.

0:05:38 > 0:05:43- A great start for the Lions, - the wind in their sails.

0:05:44 > 0:05:46- Mako Vunipola.

0:05:50 > 0:05:55- Jonathan Davies. Another loose pass. - Halfpenny under pressure.

0:05:55 > 0:05:57- That's his weakness.

0:05:57 > 0:06:01- Sometimes, under pressure, - his hands let him down.

0:06:01 > 0:06:06- The Lions have kept the ball. This - is a boost for their confidence.

0:06:06 > 0:06:10- They keep possession, - they control the game early on.

0:06:11 > 0:06:13- Can they find the gaps? Yes.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16- Thanks to Sexton. He off-loads.

0:06:16 > 0:06:19- Murray. Behind the Maori defence.

0:06:19 > 0:06:22- They need possession - but it's been slowed down again.

0:06:22 > 0:06:24- Itoje is standing still.

0:06:24 > 0:06:27- They needed someone there quicker.

0:06:27 > 0:06:30- They're still attacking - after three minutes.

0:06:31 > 0:06:36- They have a penalty. They deserve - better than this for the opening.

0:06:36 > 0:06:39- Murray looks up. Halfpenny is there.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41- They come back for the kick.

0:06:46 > 0:06:50- Sexton shows that he's back - to the standard we expect of him.

0:06:50 > 0:06:55- Connor Murray comes in. They needed - a scrum-half to spread the ball.

0:06:55 > 0:07:00- Here comes the penalty. Messam - in the way, slowing the ball down.

0:07:04 > 0:07:09- Owen Farrell missed - a crucial kick in the last game.

0:07:09 > 0:07:14- Halfpenny is 100% so far - on this tour.

0:07:14 > 0:07:18- He's succeeded with that as well.

0:07:18 > 0:07:20- The Lions have the first points.

0:07:30 > 0:07:34- O'Mahony offers an useful option - in the line. He's captain today.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38- He wasn't one of the favourites - to start the test...

0:07:38 > 0:07:40- ..at the beginning of the tour.

0:07:41 > 0:07:43- He's a different option.

0:07:44 > 0:07:48- Slow and steady. - The maul has gained ten metres.

0:07:48 > 0:07:51- A penalty will do - if they can keep the pressure on.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54- Te'o's given Davies - some instructions.

0:07:54 > 0:07:57- Something could be on - but Murray opts for the kick again.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00- Watson chases. Perfectly measured.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04- Ioane fails to gather - and it's a penalty.

0:08:04 > 0:08:08- The two brothers combine - but for the wrong reasons.

0:08:08 > 0:08:12- Ioane knocked it on and it - was gathered by brother Akira.

0:08:12 > 0:08:15- This is the Lions' plan - during this tour.

0:08:15 > 0:08:18- Set-piece control, - the power of the pack...

0:08:18 > 0:08:21- ..precision kicking - and competing in the air.

0:08:21 > 0:08:24- That's the plan - and it worked perfectly.

0:08:28 > 0:08:32- None of the full-backs have - impressed with ball in hand so far.

0:08:32 > 0:08:38- What Halfpenny offers is accuracy - and consistency with the boot.

0:08:40 > 0:08:45- They're ahead 6-0. A superb - opening 10 minutes for the Lions.

0:08:53 > 0:08:56- Lowe with the kick. North.

0:08:57 > 0:08:59- He's awake.

0:09:00 > 0:09:04- Another quick line-out - to try and open the game up.

0:09:08 > 0:09:11- Dixon, the captain. - Fortunate to retain possession.

0:09:11 > 0:09:13- Have the Lions competed here?

0:09:15 > 0:09:18- Itoje was in the middle of it. - O'Brien too.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22- Te'o did well - not to gather the ball then...

0:09:23 > 0:09:24- ..despite the temptation.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28- Milner-Skudder with the kick. - North turns.

0:09:29 > 0:09:33- North slips and loses the ball. - Messam, he wins the race.

0:09:33 > 0:09:37- The game's first try. - It's been scored by the Maoris.

0:09:38 > 0:09:41- Rather fortunate there. - A defensive mistake.

0:09:41 > 0:09:44- Once again, the kick behind - the on-rushing defence.

0:09:45 > 0:09:49- They've had the ball for less than - a minute and they've scored a try.

0:09:49 > 0:09:52- The Lions had it for 10 minutes - and didn't look like scoring.

0:09:53 > 0:09:55- That's the challenge - facing the Lions.

0:09:55 > 0:09:59- How do they score tries - with all the possession they have?

0:09:59 > 0:10:03- Milner-Skudder with the kick, - a mistake by George North.

0:10:03 > 0:10:07- He didn't commit enough - and the kick ahead came.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09- Messam pounced on it.

0:10:23 > 0:10:27- The Maoris' history and tradition - stretches back to 1888.

0:10:27 > 0:10:29- They've lost the ball.

0:10:31 > 0:10:34- Murray. He feeds the forwards.

0:10:34 > 0:10:37- He sets up the platform - and looks up.

0:10:37 > 0:10:41- He tells Faletau and Watson - to chase this.

0:10:41 > 0:10:43- That's what they do.

0:10:43 > 0:10:46- Once again, - a perfectly-weighted kick.

0:10:46 > 0:10:49- Ioane is under pressure. - Faletau is there to.

0:10:54 > 0:10:56- Dixon, the captain, the hooker.

0:10:57 > 0:11:00- McKenzie on the back foot.

0:11:00 > 0:11:02- He's found the space.

0:11:02 > 0:11:05- What does North have to offer?

0:11:05 > 0:11:07- He's in his own 22.

0:11:08 > 0:11:11- This is the Lions' tactic - - they kick long.

0:11:11 > 0:11:14- You'd expect this in the First Test.

0:11:14 > 0:11:18- The All Black test side will be - so dangerous on the counter-attack.

0:11:20 > 0:11:22- Watson.

0:11:25 > 0:11:30- Trying to keep the ball alive. - That's a trait of a Gatland side.

0:11:30 > 0:11:34- James Lowe, on the way to Leinster. - A late hit with the shoulder.

0:11:34 > 0:11:38- Will the referee come back to that? - They play on for now.

0:11:38 > 0:11:41- Lowe's injured. It looked dangerous.

0:11:41 > 0:11:44- He was in the air as he kicked.

0:11:44 > 0:11:47- They might look at it again - but I think he was committed.

0:11:48 > 0:11:49- It did look like a thumping hit.

0:11:50 > 0:11:53- What do the Lions have? - What can they create here.

0:11:55 > 0:11:59- Sexton, Furlong was flat - and he had to take a step back.

0:11:59 > 0:12:01- The timing wasn't perfect.

0:12:04 > 0:12:06- George Kruis. - He didn't want the ball.

0:12:07 > 0:12:11- Back in the other direction. - Sean O'Brien.

0:12:11 > 0:12:15- Johnny Sexton. Jonathan Davies. - O'Mahony is outside him.

0:12:15 > 0:12:19- This is what Jonathan Davies - can offer. Where's North?

0:12:19 > 0:12:22- He dances past one defender. - A metre from the try line.

0:12:22 > 0:12:25- Great work from Davies. - Quick ball to Connor Murray.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27- Sean O'Brien.

0:12:28 > 0:12:31- Only three defenders - on the far side.

0:12:32 > 0:12:34- Sexton. He changes direction.

0:12:35 > 0:12:41- Kruis. We're still playing on - after that tackle.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43- I wonder if that - will make a difference?

0:12:43 > 0:12:45- For now, we play on.

0:12:45 > 0:12:48- Murray. Advantage is being played.

0:12:54 > 0:12:58- Everything's slowed down. - They need to build the momentum.

0:12:58 > 0:13:01- Here comes the pack, - with O'Mahony leading the way.

0:13:03 > 0:13:06- Slowly, one after the other, - they come around the corner.

0:13:06 > 0:13:09- Tries aren't coming easily - for the Lions.

0:13:09 > 0:13:13- They need to vary their game. - They didn't look like scoring.

0:13:13 > 0:13:18- A great run from Jonathan Davies. - Will we return to that tackle?

0:13:19 > 0:13:21- Off-side, No.7.

0:13:22 > 0:13:24- All clear on that...?

0:13:24 > 0:13:25- All clear on that...?- - All clear, mate.

0:13:27 > 0:13:32- There's nothing to see - from that tackle.

0:13:32 > 0:13:34- Fair play to Jonathan Davies.

0:13:34 > 0:13:40- He showed then why he's the first - choice at centre for the Lions.

0:13:54 > 0:13:57- 100% for Halfpenny.

0:13:57 > 0:13:59- Lions 9 - Maoris 7.

0:14:12 > 0:14:14- Itoje.

0:14:16 > 0:14:17- They've held him up.

0:14:17 > 0:14:19- He's trying to get down.

0:14:19 > 0:14:21- Has he reached the ground? No.

0:14:22 > 0:14:24- The applause for the Maoris.

0:14:25 > 0:14:27- It's a scrum for the hosts.

0:14:28 > 0:14:31- Alun Wyn Jones will be - an interested observer of Itoje.

0:14:33 > 0:14:36- It's between Alun Wyn and Itoje - for the shirt.

0:14:36 > 0:14:38- Itoje has had the chance today.

0:14:43 > 0:14:44- Backchat for the referee.

0:14:45 > 0:14:48- Itoje has shown plenty of emotion - during the tour so far.

0:14:48 > 0:14:52- Jaco Peyper not happy - with his response to the penalty.

0:14:52 > 0:14:54- Another mark against him.

0:15:00 > 0:15:03- An opportunity - to put the Maoris back ahead.

0:15:03 > 0:15:08- On average, the Lions have yielded - 12 penalties per game on this tour.

0:15:09 > 0:15:11- When you concede a penalty...

0:15:12 > 0:15:16- ..you are penalised, and that's - precisely what's happened here.

0:15:19 > 0:15:23- The Lions went for the corner. - Vunipola wins the penalty.

0:15:23 > 0:15:26- Kruis controls the Lions' line-out.

0:15:26 > 0:15:30- Catch and drive in the 22. - This is the tactic.

0:15:30 > 0:15:33- They're pulling the big forwards in.

0:15:41 > 0:15:44- They've settled down.

0:15:44 > 0:15:46- Connor Murray.

0:15:46 > 0:15:50- Crawling across the field. - Messam swallows him up.

0:15:50 > 0:15:52- The Maori back-row - was waiting for him.

0:15:54 > 0:15:56- Kruis throws his body - into the tackle area.

0:15:56 > 0:16:00- It's slow ball. - The Lions just drive the ball on.

0:16:01 > 0:16:03- Here's Kruis.

0:16:04 > 0:16:07- Sexton is complaining - he's being held in.

0:16:07 > 0:16:10- Ioane competes. - He's going to get penalised.

0:16:12 > 0:16:15- They can't unlock defences - in the 22.

0:16:15 > 0:16:19- Here's a chance. They have a penalty - advantage. There's no pressure.

0:16:20 > 0:16:21- Try something.

0:16:21 > 0:16:24- That's the message. - Try something different.

0:16:24 > 0:16:26- That's what they try to do.

0:16:27 > 0:16:29- The Maoris were waiting - so back we go.

0:16:30 > 0:16:32- They'll aim for the posts again.

0:16:32 > 0:16:35- Yes. This is how the Lions - will build a score.

0:16:36 > 0:16:38- They're trying to gain - an advantage...

0:16:39 > 0:16:42- ..and control the territory - and possession.

0:16:42 > 0:16:46- They don't look like a side - that will score many tries.

0:16:46 > 0:16:49- O'Brien shows his value - with a strong run.

0:16:49 > 0:16:52- That's what he offers - that Warburton maybe can't.

0:16:52 > 0:16:55- He carries well, - but he's weaker in the tackle area.

0:16:56 > 0:16:59- The Lions have had most - of the territory and possession...

0:16:59 > 0:17:02- ..but they're relying on - Halfpenny's boot to keep them ahead.

0:17:07 > 0:17:11- The Maoris won't get much success - against the Lions' pack.

0:17:11 > 0:17:13- They need to open the game up.

0:17:13 > 0:17:16- With players like Ioane - and Milner-Skudder out there...

0:17:17 > 0:17:19- ..they can certainly attack - from the wings.

0:17:20 > 0:17:23- Messam, - scorer of the game's only try.

0:17:23 > 0:17:25- It was a lucky try.

0:17:25 > 0:17:27- Hames.

0:17:27 > 0:17:32- The Lions are slowing down - the ball, they're competing well.

0:17:32 > 0:17:35- They're pushing the Maoris back.

0:17:37 > 0:17:39- Dixon.

0:17:39 > 0:17:42- A warning for the Lions here. - McKenzie.

0:17:44 > 0:17:45- Ngatai.

0:17:45 > 0:17:47- Itoje.

0:17:47 > 0:17:49- Itoje wins the ball.

0:17:49 > 0:17:55- The Lions' defence and organisation - holds firm again.

0:17:55 > 0:17:57- That's the value of Itoje.

0:17:58 > 0:18:00- In open play, - he did play at No.6 last season.

0:18:01 > 0:18:05- He's comfortable in the tackle area - competing for the ball.

0:18:05 > 0:18:07- He hasn't had a great half...

0:18:10 > 0:18:14- ..but he's pushed his claims - in the final minute.

0:18:17 > 0:18:19- It's the new law.

0:18:19 > 0:18:24- The new laws state - that if you kick to touch...

0:18:24 > 0:18:26- ..the play goes on.

0:18:26 > 0:18:31- He kicked it directly instead of - tapping it and kicking it to touch.

0:18:31 > 0:18:35- The ball hasn't been 'alive' - since the award of the penalty.

0:18:35 > 0:18:37- The game has to be restarted.

0:18:43 > 0:18:46- This will be the end - of the first half.

0:18:46 > 0:18:49- Two points separate the sides.

0:18:49 > 0:18:52- Statistically, the Lions - have controlled the game.

0:18:53 > 0:18:56- The kicking game, the defence, - both have been excellent.

0:18:57 > 0:19:01- At half-time, they lead 12-10.

0:19:02 > 0:19:06- The Lions lead thanks to - Leigh Halfpenny's right boot.

0:19:06 > 0:19:08- It's close. Join us after the break.

0:19:08 > 0:19:09- .

0:19:14 > 0:19:14- Subtitles

0:19:14 > 0:19:16- Subtitles- - Subtitles

0:19:20 > 0:19:24- 70% of the possession, - 70% of the territory.

0:19:24 > 0:19:27- That's the Lions' dominance - in the first half.

0:19:27 > 0:19:30- Only two points - separate the sides though.

0:19:32 > 0:19:35- If you hadn't seen - the tries and the kicks...

0:19:35 > 0:19:41- ..you'd expect the Lions to be ahead - by 50 points looking at those stats.

0:19:41 > 0:19:43- An early kick from Sexton.

0:19:43 > 0:19:45- Dangerous.

0:19:51 > 0:19:52- Yes indeed.

0:19:52 > 0:19:58- The Lions will be eager - to maintain their dominance.

0:20:00 > 0:20:02- It's pouring with rain in Rotorua.

0:20:02 > 0:20:05- Perfect weather for forward play.

0:20:05 > 0:20:09- Te'o. - He was quiet during the first half.

0:20:09 > 0:20:13- Jonathan Davies - shone brighter than him.

0:20:14 > 0:20:18- This is the type of rugby that needs - to be played in this weather.

0:20:18 > 0:20:21- The Lions will be happy - to gain territory...

0:20:21 > 0:20:23- ..drive on strongly...

0:20:23 > 0:20:27- ..force the penalties - and build the pressure.

0:20:29 > 0:20:33- Kerr-Barlow straight through. - It's a kick to nothing from Sexton.

0:20:33 > 0:20:35- Up it goes. Halfpenny's up.

0:20:36 > 0:20:39- Itoje is stopped.

0:20:39 > 0:20:40- Back we go.

0:20:40 > 0:20:45- There needs to be a final warning - for the constant infringing.

0:20:45 > 0:20:48- Every time they seem - to come down here...

0:20:48 > 0:20:51- ..they've already got 12 points, - four penalties.

0:20:51 > 0:20:55- I'm leaving the option open - that there's no negative penalty...

0:20:55 > 0:20:57- ..that I can give a yellow card.

0:21:00 > 0:21:04- Halfpenny's fifth attempt.

0:21:04 > 0:21:08- Every penalty has been simple, - on the 22.

0:21:08 > 0:21:10- The Maoris are on a final warning.

0:21:10 > 0:21:13- A yellow card could appear - with the next penalty.

0:21:14 > 0:21:17- Leigh Halfpenny makes them pay. - The Lions are up to 15.

0:21:24 > 0:21:27- Sexton, Te'o, Davies, North - to the left.

0:21:27 > 0:21:30- Watson and Halfpenny on the right.

0:21:30 > 0:21:33- In which direction - will the Lions go?

0:21:33 > 0:21:34- Right. Faletau.

0:21:35 > 0:21:37- To Halfpenny. - Watson is outside him.

0:21:37 > 0:21:40- Leigh Halfpenny. That was high.

0:21:40 > 0:21:42- There we no arms in that tackle.

0:21:44 > 0:21:46- Back we go.

0:21:46 > 0:21:48- They'll check this tackle.

0:21:49 > 0:21:53- Kerr-Barlow is in the sin-bin, - I'd say, after that.

0:21:55 > 0:21:57- Let's see it again.

0:21:58 > 0:22:01- If it's the head, - it could be more serious.

0:22:01 > 0:22:05- It looks worse there - than I thought it would be.

0:22:06 > 0:22:08- It could be red.

0:22:13 > 0:22:17- You don't wrap your arms and - there's high contact on the cheek.

0:22:17 > 0:22:19- Listen, listen now.

0:22:20 > 0:22:24- The only mitigation is that the - player is tackled and he's dropping.

0:22:25 > 0:22:27- It's a yellow card for not wrapping.

0:22:29 > 0:22:32- I think he feels hard done by there.

0:22:32 > 0:22:37- I think most of the rugby world will - think he's lucky not to see red.

0:22:38 > 0:22:40- I'm surprised - he hasn't been sent off.

0:22:44 > 0:22:48- This time, - the Lions turn down three points.

0:22:49 > 0:22:51- They opt for the line.

0:22:51 > 0:22:53- The target is George Kruis.

0:22:53 > 0:22:56- He's a master in this area.

0:22:56 > 0:23:00- He's pulling his players on. - Jamie George.

0:23:01 > 0:23:04- He drives the rolling maul on.

0:23:04 > 0:23:06- It's slowed down again.

0:23:06 > 0:23:07- Te'o at pace. Te'o.

0:23:08 > 0:23:10- Crash through the tackle - went Ben Te'o.

0:23:13 > 0:23:15- The Lions must score.

0:23:15 > 0:23:17- They're celebrating the try.

0:23:20 > 0:23:22- They're going upstairs.

0:23:27 > 0:23:31- The direct route. Let's find out - if the ball was grounded.

0:23:32 > 0:23:35- The rolling maul was stopped - in the first place.

0:23:36 > 0:23:40- Ben Te'o drove at McKenzie. - He went through the little fly-half.

0:23:40 > 0:23:43- Inches short and the pack arrives.

0:23:43 > 0:23:46- I do think George - had his hands on it.

0:23:46 > 0:23:48- They were so close - in the first place.

0:23:49 > 0:23:52- Is he short?

0:24:07 > 0:24:11- McKenzie at scrum-half, - filling in for Kerr-Barlow.

0:24:11 > 0:24:16- What's the plan this time? - Spread it or use the scrum?

0:24:16 > 0:24:19- Penalty advantage. Murray dummies.

0:24:19 > 0:24:23- Faletau on his shoulder. - They just can't reach the try line.

0:24:25 > 0:24:29- Vunipola is strong and powerful. - Another chance for him.

0:24:29 > 0:24:31- The penalty is on its way.

0:24:31 > 0:24:34- The advantage is being played.

0:24:35 > 0:24:39- Another advantage. - Will they be down to 13 men soon?

0:24:39 > 0:24:41- He's in front. Scrum penalty.

0:24:42 > 0:24:47- Peter O'Mahony is asking - if there's another yellow card.

0:24:50 > 0:24:54- No, no, he's in front. - He picked it up and he's in front.

0:24:54 > 0:24:57- The Lions keep the ball - in the scrum...

0:24:57 > 0:25:00- ..even when one of the Maori backs - is missing.

0:25:00 > 0:25:02- Connor Murray took on McKenzie.

0:25:03 > 0:25:05- I'm surprised he didn't get over.

0:25:17 > 0:25:21- Five penalties in 10 minutes - against the Maoris.

0:25:21 > 0:25:24- McKenzie at scrum-half. - They're a back short.

0:25:24 > 0:25:27- Loose-head Hames - has already been penalised.

0:25:28 > 0:25:31- There's another penalty advantage. - Will it be more?

0:25:31 > 0:25:34- Yes. A penalty try for the Lions.

0:25:35 > 0:25:38- The strength of the pack - was crucial.

0:25:38 > 0:25:42- They've been patient, - increasing the pressure.

0:25:43 > 0:25:46- The scrum turned - under all that pressure.

0:25:46 > 0:25:50- Jaco Peyper's had enough - of all the penalties.

0:25:50 > 0:25:53- It's a penalty try for the Lions.

0:25:53 > 0:25:55- Seven points added to the score.

0:26:03 > 0:26:06- The Maoris are chasing the game.

0:26:06 > 0:26:10- They have enough time - but they need to change things.

0:26:10 > 0:26:13- The Lions have a stranglehold - on this game.

0:26:17 > 0:26:20- McKenzie. Not the best kick.

0:26:20 > 0:26:23- Jonathan Davies. - He's had a good game so far.

0:26:24 > 0:26:26- The kick. The defence is slow.

0:26:26 > 0:26:28- Watson almost made it.

0:26:28 > 0:26:32- Ioane under the shadow - of his own posts.

0:26:32 > 0:26:36- Over the try-line. All the pressure - coming from the Lions.

0:26:37 > 0:26:40- Since Kerr-Barlow - went to the sin-bin...

0:26:40 > 0:26:43- ..the Maoris have suffered.

0:26:44 > 0:26:48- They've lost their way in attack. - It was a poor kick from McKenzie.

0:26:49 > 0:26:52- It strayed to no-man's land and - the Lions pushed them back again.

0:26:52 > 0:26:55- Their power game - is becoming more evident.

0:27:00 > 0:27:03- Do the backs have any hope - of getting the ball here?

0:27:03 > 0:27:07- Psychologically, - this is important for the Lions.

0:27:07 > 0:27:09- This scrum isn't moving.

0:27:11 > 0:27:12- Well done the Maoris.

0:27:13 > 0:27:15- To the blind-side. Faletau.

0:27:18 > 0:27:21- Time after time, - the Lions can see the white line.

0:27:21 > 0:27:25- They don't cross it often, - but this time they do.

0:27:25 > 0:27:27- A try for Maro Itoje.

0:27:27 > 0:27:30- The Lions stretch their advantage.

0:27:38 > 0:27:41- Faletau went close. - The ball was recycled.

0:27:41 > 0:27:43- They almost got there - in the first place.

0:27:44 > 0:27:46- No-one at home - on the left-hand side.

0:27:46 > 0:27:50- Only one man in defence - and he couldn't keep Itoje out.

0:27:50 > 0:27:55- The Lions have truly - dominated this game.

0:28:03 > 0:28:08- Will Alun Wyn Jones and - Sam Warburton start the tests, Gwyn?

0:28:08 > 0:28:11- It doesn't seem likely now.

0:28:11 > 0:28:17- This pack has controlled - and improved as the game's gone on.

0:28:18 > 0:28:22- That's caught - Warren Gatland's eye today.

0:28:23 > 0:28:25- For me, - this pack will start next week.

0:28:26 > 0:28:27- O'Mahony too?

0:28:27 > 0:28:29- O'Mahony too?- - O'Mahony too.

0:28:34 > 0:28:41- Here's O'Brien. He can carry - the ball and steal possession.

0:28:42 > 0:28:45- Ben Te'o. The Lions are waking up.

0:28:47 > 0:28:51- They stay on the blind-side. - Henderson's replaced Kruis.

0:28:54 > 0:28:57- Itoje waits. Furlong is with him.

0:29:00 > 0:29:01- Sexton calls for it.

0:29:01 > 0:29:04- Jamie George is flat. - Back it went. Ben Te'o.

0:29:04 > 0:29:07- O'Mahony. Jonathan Davies.

0:29:07 > 0:29:09- Davies in two minds.

0:29:09 > 0:29:11- Davies is isolated.

0:29:11 > 0:29:14- The forwards fly in - to the tackle area.

0:29:17 > 0:29:19- McGrath.

0:29:20 > 0:29:22- Plenty of energy in the Lions' play.

0:29:23 > 0:29:26- Henderson. A half-break.

0:29:26 > 0:29:29- Within a metre. They drive on.

0:29:31 > 0:29:35- Murray tried to compete for the ball - but the Maoris steal the ball.

0:29:35 > 0:29:38- Great defence.

0:29:38 > 0:29:40- The Lions keep possession.

0:29:40 > 0:29:46- The Lions are starting to relax - and move the ball more freely.

0:29:46 > 0:29:50- Henderson has made his mark - since he came on.

0:29:50 > 0:29:52- Here's Henderson.

0:29:52 > 0:29:56- He looks like a perfect - impact player from the bench.

0:29:56 > 0:30:01- He carries well and he can fill - a hole in the back row.

0:30:01 > 0:30:05- The Lions are growing in confidence.

0:30:06 > 0:30:07- Sam Warburton is on.

0:30:08 > 0:30:12- 17 minutes to try and make his mark.

0:30:12 > 0:30:15- O'Mahony hobbled off.

0:30:23 > 0:30:25- Connor Murray takes a step back.

0:30:26 > 0:30:28- He wants to see the forwards - use their power.

0:30:29 > 0:30:31- Faletau. Murray flies in.

0:30:34 > 0:30:38- The Maoris' defence looks shaky.

0:30:38 > 0:30:40- The Lions are full of confidence.

0:30:40 > 0:30:41- Jack McGrath.

0:30:44 > 0:30:46- The Maoris have stolen the ball.

0:30:47 > 0:30:50- The Lions were complacent - in the tackle area.

0:30:52 > 0:30:55- McKenzie. There was nothing on. - He clears.

0:30:55 > 0:30:58- The Lions will regroup - and attack again.

0:31:05 > 0:31:12- Ken Owens, like Jamie George, - has found his man time after time.

0:31:12 > 0:31:15- Back to the pack, - back to territorial dominance.

0:31:15 > 0:31:20- This is the tactic that's worked, - the pattern that's being developed.

0:31:20 > 0:31:24- They've stuck to this tactic - from the start.

0:31:24 > 0:31:28- There's control and purpose - in everything they do.

0:31:28 > 0:31:33- They will want to keep the ball - out of the All Blacks' hands...

0:31:33 > 0:31:35- ..for as long as possible.

0:31:37 > 0:31:38- Te'o.

0:31:39 > 0:31:42- I wonder who'll play - 10 and 12 for the Lions?

0:31:42 > 0:31:46- High on Faletau. - Messam with the tackle.

0:31:48 > 0:31:51- Ken Owens. - He rolls out of the tackle.

0:31:53 > 0:31:55- Laidlaw is on. Biggar's joined him.

0:31:55 > 0:31:57- The Irish half-backs are off.

0:31:58 > 0:32:02- Davies has looked dangerous. - Ioane throws him to the ground.

0:32:03 > 0:32:06- Biggar. Watson. No room for him.

0:32:06 > 0:32:07- He takes it back in.

0:32:08 > 0:32:11- Anthony Watson - has been quiet but effective.

0:32:11 > 0:32:14- The Lions are controlling this game.

0:32:14 > 0:32:17- Controlling territory, - controlling possession.

0:32:17 > 0:32:19- That's what they have to do.

0:32:19 > 0:32:22- They're not going to score a try - from their own half.

0:32:22 > 0:32:26- They must be patient - and put pressure on the opposition.

0:32:26 > 0:32:28- Faletau, back inside to O'Brien.

0:32:28 > 0:32:29- Faletau, back inside to O'Brien.- - No, off-side.

0:32:32 > 0:32:36- Plenty of pressure. - They've opened the game up a little.

0:32:36 > 0:32:38- Te'o is an important part.

0:32:38 > 0:32:42- When the ball comes back, - he carries the ball the first time.

0:32:51 > 0:32:54- Halfpenny has forgotten - how to miss kicks.

0:32:54 > 0:32:56- 100% today, 100% on tour.

0:33:18 > 0:33:24- This is the final play. - The Lions have won comfortably.

0:33:24 > 0:33:28- That might be a sign - of things to come.

0:33:39 > 0:33:41- There we go.

0:33:43 > 0:33:45- The final whistle.

0:33:46 > 0:33:51- The Lions have made - a significant statement.

0:33:51 > 0:33:54- All Black coach Steve Hansen - had asked...

0:33:54 > 0:33:57- ..what Warren Gatland - had up his sleeve.

0:33:57 > 0:33:59- The answer is simple.

0:33:59 > 0:34:02- Power, strength, organisation.

0:34:03 > 0:34:06- The platform has been set - for the First Test.

0:34:07 > 0:34:12- The flair of the All Blacks - against the power of the Lions.

0:34:12 > 0:34:14- We can't wait.

0:34:14 > 0:34:18- In Rotorua, - the Lions have claimed victory.

0:34:18 > 0:34:22- The final score against - the Maori All Blacks is 32-10.

0:34:23 > 0:34:26- A thumping win for the Lions.

0:34:26 > 0:34:29- The reaction from New Zealand...

0:34:29 > 0:34:32- ..and the Jones' boys thoughts - after the break.

0:34:32 > 0:34:33- .

0:34:38 > 0:34:38- Subtitles

0:34:38 > 0:34:40- Subtitles- - Subtitles

0:34:43 > 0:34:47- Maori All Blacks 10 - The Lions 32.

0:34:47 > 0:34:49- That's the final score.

0:34:49 > 0:34:53- Steve Hansen has been critical - of the Lions' tactics recently.

0:34:53 > 0:34:57- What's Warren Gatland's - response to that and to the game?

0:34:57 > 0:35:00- Surprised a little bit - with Steve Hansen.

0:35:00 > 0:35:03- Normally he's pretty calm.

0:35:03 > 0:35:07- It's not anything - that's been worrying for us.

0:35:08 > 0:35:10- All I've taken from it, he's gone...

0:35:10 > 0:35:14- ..phooph, maybe he's a little bit - more worried than he normally is.

0:35:14 > 0:35:17- He's normally calm and collected.

0:35:17 > 0:35:21- He's saying and delivering - a lot of comments about us...

0:35:21 > 0:35:23- ..and things that he knows - or doesn't know.

0:35:24 > 0:35:28- That's normally a sign of a man - that's just a little bit worried.

0:35:29 > 0:35:33- Tonight was another step forward - towards what our goal is.

0:35:33 > 0:35:37- To beat the All Blacks, you have - to be the best in the world.

0:35:37 > 0:35:41- We don't have a huge time frame but - I think we're using our time well.

0:35:42 > 0:35:46- I thought we used tonight well. - I thought our set-piece was good.

0:35:46 > 0:35:48- There's always room for improvement.

0:35:48 > 0:35:51- There's a lot to work on, - we'll go back to the video...

0:35:51 > 0:35:55- ..and have a look at those things - and kick on into Tuesday.

0:35:55 > 0:35:59- I thought defensively, when you - look at the attacking quality...

0:35:59 > 0:36:03- ..of their back-line and speaking - to the players afterwards...

0:36:03 > 0:36:05- ..they didn't feel - under any pressure at all.

0:36:05 > 0:36:09- They didn't feel like the Maori - were able to stress them at all.

0:36:10 > 0:36:13- Their try was from a speculative - kick and a lucky bounce.

0:36:14 > 0:36:17- We can be proud - of that performance...

0:36:17 > 0:36:20- ..but to beat the All Blacks - is another step up.

0:36:20 > 0:36:23- Hopefully we'll see that - in the next week.

0:36:24 > 0:36:28- That's the response. Better, - said Gatland. Do you agree, Deiniol?

0:36:28 > 0:36:32- We have to look at the game - as an improvement.

0:36:32 > 0:36:38- The Maoris picked 15 players who've - shone in Super Rugby this season.

0:36:38 > 0:36:42- The boys are unlucky not to - be playing for the All Blacks.

0:36:43 > 0:36:47- Beating them by that score-line - will boost the Lions.

0:36:47 > 0:36:51- It was a better performance - to build momentum and confidence.

0:36:51 > 0:36:55- Those were two things Warren Gatland - wanted and he's had them.

0:36:55 > 0:36:57- An excellent performance, fair play.

0:36:57 > 0:37:03- The Lions have one strong weapon, a - tactic they use time and time again.

0:37:03 > 0:37:05- This kicking game - - we've seen it before.

0:37:06 > 0:37:08- Kicking to gain territory - in particular.

0:37:09 > 0:37:13- Johnny Sexton, Owen Farrell, - the same happened last week.

0:37:13 > 0:37:18- They look for spaces, - a great kick from the fly-half.

0:37:18 > 0:37:21- The way Warren Gatland - wants to play...

0:37:21 > 0:37:24- ..keep the pressure - on the All Blacks.

0:37:24 > 0:37:26- Play down in their half.

0:37:27 > 0:37:31- With Sexton and Farell, - you can do that.

0:37:31 > 0:37:34- That's how Warren Gatland - wants the team to play.

0:37:35 > 0:37:39- That kick by Sexton was inch - perfect, there's no doubting that.

0:37:39 > 0:37:45- They also changed tactics - by kicking to secure possession.

0:37:45 > 0:37:49- If you look back at the Irish - victory over the All Blacks...

0:37:49 > 0:37:52- ..they looked to compete - and regain possession.

0:37:52 > 0:37:57- From the re-start, Sexton puts it - high and Watson re-gathers the ball.

0:37:57 > 0:38:01- You must put pressure - on the All Blacks.

0:38:01 > 0:38:05- Kick to the corners - and regain possession.

0:38:05 > 0:38:08- Sexton was spot-on - with all his kicks.

0:38:08 > 0:38:12- Where does that leave - the maestro Owen Farrell?

0:38:12 > 0:38:15- This situation - is giving Warren Gatland a headache.

0:38:16 > 0:38:19- It's a headache - he's probably enjoying.

0:38:19 > 0:38:24- After the first few games, we - were discussing Farrell's position.

0:38:24 > 0:38:27- They needed to pick him somewhere.

0:38:27 > 0:38:30- Sexton is back on form.

0:38:30 > 0:38:32- Farrell is injured right now.

0:38:32 > 0:38:37- I think Gatland will stick - with Sexton for the First Test.

0:38:37 > 0:38:40- If he's fit, - Owen Farrell will be on the bench.

0:38:41 > 0:38:45- Who would have predicted that - after Sexton's poor start?

0:38:45 > 0:38:47- The kicks were so effective...

0:38:48 > 0:38:53- ..and forced the errors from - the Maoris throughout the game.

0:38:53 > 0:38:56- Kicking to the corner - and regaining the possession...

0:38:56 > 0:38:59- ..it's all to do with building - pressure on the opposition.

0:38:59 > 0:39:03- The tactic forced the Maoris - into making mistakes.

0:39:04 > 0:39:07- Will the same tactic be - just as effective next week...

0:39:08 > 0:39:10- ..against the All Blacks?

0:39:10 > 0:39:14- If the kick is accurate and the - chase is good, yes, it will be.

0:39:14 > 0:39:16- That was an individual error.

0:39:16 > 0:39:19- I don't think we can expect - to see things like that.

0:39:19 > 0:39:21- Connor Murray's box kicks - are so accurate.

0:39:22 > 0:39:25- These boys have a chance to regain - the ball and build pressure.

0:39:25 > 0:39:31- Last week the Crusaders struggled - under the high ball.

0:39:31 > 0:39:35- Connor Murray - does it so brilliantly.

0:39:35 > 0:39:38- He's the best No.9 in the world - at the moment.

0:39:38 > 0:39:40- He'll start the First Test.

0:39:41 > 0:39:46- Tactically for Warren Gatland, - the long ball downfield...

0:39:46 > 0:39:50- ..up in the air to compete, - great defence...

0:39:50 > 0:39:56- ..and then they have everything - to stop other teams playing.

0:39:56 > 0:39:58- They don't give them any room.

0:39:58 > 0:40:02- I think we'll see that tactic - next Saturday.

0:40:02 > 0:40:06- The weather will play its part, - no doubt.

0:40:06 > 0:40:08- In Auckland on Friday...

0:40:08 > 0:40:13- ..we saw excellent weather - for the All Blacks' test match.

0:40:13 > 0:40:18- Will Gatland be praying for rain - in the First Test?

0:40:18 > 0:40:21- Yes, I think it will help a little.

0:40:21 > 0:40:27- The All Blacks are so dangerous - if you give them time to play.

0:40:27 > 0:40:31- As Rob said, the Lions will be - hoping to close down the space...

0:40:31 > 0:40:36- ..increase the pressure, the rain - will help them in that respect...

0:40:36 > 0:40:40- ..and build pressure - in the scrum and line-out.

0:40:40 > 0:40:43- That's where - the Lions' strength lies.

0:40:43 > 0:40:46- We spoke about - the strong kicking game.

0:40:46 > 0:40:50- Something else they did effectively - today was slow the ball down.

0:40:51 > 0:40:54- They kept possession - and forced the penalties.

0:40:54 > 0:40:59- You have to remember that - Jaco Peyper was the referee.

0:41:00 > 0:41:03- They'll be looking to do - the same things next week.

0:41:03 > 0:41:06- In terms of the tight game - they play...

0:41:06 > 0:41:08- ..they won't spread the ball.

0:41:08 > 0:41:11- We can see here, - they drive in midfield...

0:41:11 > 0:41:16- ..the centres and wings are looking - to come in close to the action.

0:41:16 > 0:41:21- They keep the ball tight - and squeeze out the penalties.

0:41:21 > 0:41:24- They have the best kicker - in the world at full-back...

0:41:24 > 0:41:26- ..and they want to play - in midfield...

0:41:26 > 0:41:29- ..in areas - where penalties can be kicked.

0:41:29 > 0:41:32- Is it a dangerous tactic, - especially against the All Blacks?

0:41:33 > 0:41:36- They won't give them the chance - to slow down the game.

0:41:36 > 0:41:38- That's what Warren Gatland wants.

0:41:38 > 0:41:42- We know how every team - under Warren Gatland plays.

0:41:42 > 0:41:45- Defence is very important.

0:41:45 > 0:41:51- Up quickly, don't give the All - Blacks any room to create chances.

0:41:52 > 0:41:56- That will then benefit the Lions.

0:41:56 > 0:41:58- The same with the back three.

0:41:59 > 0:42:01- If you kick - and compete for everything...

0:42:02 > 0:42:06- ..don't give the opposition - any room to play their open game.

0:42:06 > 0:42:09- I think it's the right tactic - with the personnel he has.

0:42:09 > 0:42:14- In terms of the team, he will be - very pleased with today's pack.

0:42:14 > 0:42:18- Fair play, they put in a shift.

0:42:18 > 0:42:22- The forwards build the platform - for Warren Gatland's game.

0:42:23 > 0:42:24- They were excellent today.

0:42:24 > 0:42:28- When you do kick to the corners, - this is what we can expect to see.

0:42:28 > 0:42:32- It's something that's developed - throughout the tour.

0:42:32 > 0:42:35- We can see Ben Te'o's - physical presence from the ruck.

0:42:36 > 0:42:40- The line, the scrum, - the units have started to gel.

0:42:40 > 0:42:46- The pack that played today, - I can't see many changes next week.

0:42:46 > 0:42:48- They were very effective.

0:42:48 > 0:42:51- The penalties came - from the pressure that built.

0:42:51 > 0:42:55- The line-outs and scrums allowed - them to benefit from the pressure.

0:42:55 > 0:42:59- Murray and Sexton or Murray - and Farrell, they control the game.

0:42:59 > 0:43:03- They can only control it - when the pack's moving forward...

0:43:03 > 0:43:06- ..and giving them - the quick, clean ball they need.

0:43:07 > 0:43:12- Murray's playing well, - Sexton and Farrell are in form.

0:43:12 > 0:43:17- That's because the pack are doing - so well in front of them.

0:43:17 > 0:43:20- Deiniol talked about units - being created.

0:43:20 > 0:43:23- One that stood out - was in the second row.

0:43:23 > 0:43:26- Maro Itoje - was a shining light today.

0:43:26 > 0:43:32- How much will his performance - influence the second row selection?

0:43:32 > 0:43:36- Will Alun Wyn Jones - still play in the First Test?

0:43:36 > 0:43:39- The half-back partnership - and second row partnership...

0:43:39 > 0:43:41- ..are causing headaches.

0:43:41 > 0:43:43- Kruis will start, - he calls the line-outs.

0:43:44 > 0:43:47- He's worked hard - with Steve Borthwick.

0:43:47 > 0:43:51- Who will partner him - - Itoje was superb today.

0:43:51 > 0:43:54- He's good in open play, - he's strong in the scrum...

0:43:54 > 0:43:57- ..here he is diving over for a try.

0:43:57 > 0:44:02- It's a matter of balance, who can - make an impact off the bench?

0:44:02 > 0:44:04- Who will captain the team?

0:44:04 > 0:44:07- Will Warburton start the test?

0:44:07 > 0:44:10- They might bring Alun Wyn Jones in - as a leader.

0:44:10 > 0:44:14- The competition - between those three is excellent.

0:44:14 > 0:44:17- That's a big question, - will Sam Warburton start?

0:44:17 > 0:44:21- Sean O'Brien had a great game. - Will Sam start on the bench?

0:44:21 > 0:44:26- I think he will. I don't think - he's played enough rugby.

0:44:26 > 0:44:29- His performances up to now - hasn't been good enough...

0:44:30 > 0:44:32- ..to merit a place in the team.

0:44:32 > 0:44:38- O'Brian and O'Mahony today, - as captain, was excellent.

0:44:39 > 0:44:42- I think Warburton will - start on the bench.

0:44:42 > 0:44:46- For me, the pack that started today - is the starting test pack.

0:44:47 > 0:44:50- I's a good headache - for Warren Gatland to have.

0:44:50 > 0:44:52- Thank you both for now.

0:44:52 > 0:44:55- The Lions faced - a fierce haka today...

0:44:55 > 0:44:58- ..but others have been - facing up this week.

0:45:00 > 0:45:03- The haka. The Maori war dance.

0:45:03 > 0:45:05- It's a familiar sight on this tour.

0:45:06 > 0:45:09- The provinces - have also performed the haka.

0:45:09 > 0:45:13- In Rotorua, there was a special - event linked to the dance...

0:45:13 > 0:45:16- ..this time with thousands - of people present.

0:45:16 > 0:45:19- We're hoping to do - the world's largest haka.

0:45:19 > 0:45:22- It's already a cool spectacle.

0:45:22 > 0:45:26- The town's got behind it so we just - want people to have a good time...

0:45:26 > 0:45:28- ..and a cool experience.

0:45:28 > 0:45:31- We're happy - regardless of the outcome.

0:45:32 > 0:45:37- I'm here to fulfil the role - as leader of the haka today.

0:45:37 > 0:45:43- Hopefully we'll reach our capacity - and we'll smash this world record.

0:45:47 > 0:45:51- There's that little niggle that - the current holders are the French.

0:45:51 > 0:45:55- It's a motivating factor - for the Lions' fans.

0:45:55 > 0:45:58- Help us take the record - off the French.

0:45:59 > 0:46:01- Unexpected but we found out - about it last night.

0:46:02 > 0:46:05- Even though we're not natives, - we can take part.

0:46:06 > 0:46:07- Looking forward to it.

0:46:07 > 0:46:11- Never done anything like it before - so it's something different.

0:46:12 > 0:46:15- No matter who you are - or where you're from...

0:46:15 > 0:46:17- ..we treat people with open arms.

0:46:17 > 0:46:21- I guess this is a message - to the world.

0:46:21 > 0:46:24- Unite and come together - on occasions like this.

0:46:25 > 0:46:29- Even in the midst of the fun, the - test series in on everyone's minds.

0:46:30 > 0:46:32- How confident - are the home supporters?

0:46:33 > 0:46:37- The Lions have a tough tour, - a lot of moving around.

0:46:37 > 0:46:39- It's in the All Blacks' favour.

0:46:39 > 0:46:43- I have a British passport, I'm on - the fence, but it'll be a flogging!

0:46:44 > 0:46:46- I'll let you choose what team.

0:46:49 > 0:46:52- We're absolutely stoked. - That was amazing.

0:46:53 > 0:46:55- The support, unbelievable.

0:46:55 > 0:46:57- I think we've got a new record.

0:46:57 > 0:47:01- Yeah, absolutely proud, - and yeah, just love it.

0:47:03 > 0:47:07- Warren Gatland has called up - six players to the squad...

0:47:07 > 0:47:09- ..including four Welsh players.

0:47:09 > 0:47:13- Who he's picked - has created a bit of a stir.

0:47:13 > 0:47:17- Here's the man himself - to explain his decision.

0:47:19 > 0:47:23- In terms of devaluing the shirt, I - can see some people's point of view.

0:47:24 > 0:47:26- We're here to win a test series.

0:47:26 > 0:47:31- It's about guys covering, not - travelling halfway around the world.

0:47:31 > 0:47:35- We found it difficult - in the first 10 days we were here...

0:47:37 > 0:47:40- ..in terms of jet-lag, - time differences and stuff.

0:47:41 > 0:47:45- The players coming in from Auckland - last night and from Australia...

0:47:45 > 0:47:48- ..will fit quickly - into that time-zone.

0:47:48 > 0:47:54- Devaluing the shirt, that's the - allegation. Fair point, Deiniol?

0:47:54 > 0:47:57- I think it is, - it does devalue the shirt.

0:47:57 > 0:48:00- Gareth Davies is worthy - of his place...

0:48:00 > 0:48:03- ..he'll add something to the squad.

0:48:03 > 0:48:08- The other three have been chosen - ahead of better, in-form players.

0:48:08 > 0:48:12- Kristian Dacey, - Cory Hill and Tomas Francis.

0:48:12 > 0:48:15- I wonder how Dylan Hartley - and Joe Launchbury feel?

0:48:16 > 0:48:18- Very disappointed.

0:48:18 > 0:48:22- Gatland knew before they set off - that he had enough time...

0:48:22 > 0:48:25- ..to have the best players - out in New Zealand.

0:48:26 > 0:48:28- The Lions are the best in Britain.

0:48:28 > 0:48:33- That's important when you choose - players to wear that red shirt.

0:48:34 > 0:48:36- This debate will rage on and on.

0:48:36 > 0:48:39- Thank you both for joining me.

0:48:39 > 0:48:42- The rugby continues on S4C - over the next few days.

0:48:42 > 0:48:48- Tomorrow, Wales U20 - take on Italy U20 at 1.45pm.

0:48:48 > 0:48:50- The First Test kicks off - next Saturday.

0:48:51 > 0:48:55- We're back at 10.00pm on Tuesday - as the Lions face the Chiefs.

0:48:56 > 0:49:00- Warren Gatland is back - on his home patch in Hamilton.

0:49:00 > 0:49:03- No-one wants to lose at home.

0:49:03 > 0:49:06- Preparations - for the First Test continue.

0:49:06 > 0:49:08- Until Tuesday night, goodbye.

0:49:35 > 0:49:37- S4C Subtitles by Adnod Cyf.

0:49:37 > 0:49:37- .
