-The language

0:00:350:00:37

-The 'mango urora', a hammerhead

-shark, a large ferocious creature.

0:00:390:00:43

-The source of our name,

-the people of Te Arawa.

0:00:430:00:45

-This is West. These are the Blues.

0:00:500:00:52

-This is New Zealand rugby

-at its best.

0:00:520:00:55

-When our forefathers

-sailed to Aoteaora...

0:00:550:00:57

-..a large shark rescued their boat

-from a whirlpool.

0:00:570:01:00

-For the second time in three games

-against the Super Rugby sides...

0:01:010:01:06

-..the Lions have lost.

0:01:060:01:09

-The hammerhead shark is a symbol

-of power and strength.

0:01:100:01:16

-Like the hammerhead shark, let what

-you fear turn into a strength.

0:01:180:01:24

-Sam Warburton.

-Sam Warburton scores the try.

0:01:290:01:32

-Never give up!

0:01:330:01:39

-Yes, the Maori All Black shirt

-has a long tradition.

0:01:440:01:47

-This is the biggest test

-for Warren Gatland's men so far.

0:01:480:01:52

-They've dubbed it the Fourth Test.

0:01:520:01:55

-After winning two and losing two,

-the Lions were hoping for a boost.

0:01:550:01:59

-A victory and a performance to

-give Steve Hansen and his charges...

0:01:590:02:04

-..some food for thought

-before the First Test.

0:02:040:02:07

-Deiniol and Rob Jones

-have re-joined me in the studio.

0:02:070:02:12

-We'll hear from them later.

0:02:120:02:14

-Let's go straight to the game.

0:02:140:02:17

-English subtitles are available

-if you want them.

0:02:170:02:21

-Our commentary team facing the haka

-is Gwyn Jones and Gareth Rhys Owen.

0:02:210:02:26

-What theatre in the fog of Rotorua.

0:02:370:02:40

-The timatanga, the Maori haka.

0:02:410:02:44

-The challenge has been set.

0:02:440:02:46

-The Fourth Test, the unofficial

-test, the first course.

0:02:490:02:52

-However you describe it,

-the Maoris are a quality side.

0:02:520:02:56

-Eight All Blacks in the side.

0:02:560:02:58

-The pack is competitive

-with players such as Dixon...

0:02:580:03:02

-..and the backs

-can turn on the style.

0:03:020:03:06

-Ioane and Milner-Skudder

-are lightning quick on the wings...

0:03:060:03:10

-..and No.10 Damien McKenzie,

-small in stature, huge in talent.

0:03:100:03:16

-The big news for the Lions

-is the call-up for four Welshmen.

0:03:170:03:22

-Cory Hill, Gareth Davies,

-Kristian Dacey and Tomas Francis...

0:03:220:03:26

-..but they are not

-in today's match squad.

0:03:260:03:29

-Sam Warburton starts on the bench.

0:03:300:03:32

-O'Brien and O'Mahony

-fill in at 6 and 7...

0:03:330:03:36

-..and an injury to Owen Farrell

-gives Sexton a chance to shine.

0:03:360:03:40

-Te'o and Jonathan Davies

-in midfield.

0:03:400:03:42

-Davies has only played

-20 minutes so far.

0:03:430:03:45

-Two proud teams.

0:03:480:03:50

-Two historic teams.

0:03:500:03:52

-Two teams that see tradition as

-being more important than anything.

0:03:520:03:59

-They go head-to-head in Rotorua.

0:04:000:04:02

-The fog sets to create

-an incredible atmosphere here.

0:04:080:04:14

-This is the benchmark for the Lions.

0:04:150:04:17

-They've fielded

-a test-strength side.

0:04:170:04:20

-The first mistake by the Maoris.

-They're nervous too.

0:04:200:04:24

-Jamie George, the hooker.

0:04:260:04:28

-George Kruis has been a revelation.

0:04:280:04:31

-Watson off his wing.

0:04:310:04:33

-I'm not sure why Watson was chosen

-then. You need a ball carrier.

0:04:330:04:37

-George North is the answer.

0:04:380:04:39

-Itoje takes it on.

0:04:390:04:41

-During most of the games,

-the Lions have started well...

0:04:430:04:47

-..in the first five minutes.

0:04:470:04:49

-Here they go again. Ben Te'o

-is dangerous. He's well tackled.

0:04:500:04:54

-Dixon with some effective work.

0:04:540:04:56

-Halfpenny under pressure.

0:04:570:04:59

-Itoje.

-In the move for a second time.

0:05:000:05:03

-No.7 is O'Brien. No Sam Warburton.

0:05:030:05:06

-How significant is that?

0:05:080:05:10

-Sexton. Te'o once more.

0:05:110:05:14

-Back to Davies.

-Faletau was outside him.

0:05:140:05:17

-They've kept the ball for seven

-phases. They look comfortable.

0:05:180:05:22

-Kruis again.

0:05:230:05:25

-Sexton at 10.

0:05:260:05:28

-Furlong.

0:05:280:05:29

-He's not the quickest

-but he's drawn in some defenders.

0:05:300:05:33

-Here's the captain, O'Mahony.

0:05:360:05:38

-A great start for the Lions,

-the wind in their sails.

0:05:380:05:43

-Mako Vunipola.

0:05:440:05:46

-Jonathan Davies. Another loose pass.

-Halfpenny under pressure.

0:05:500:05:55

-That's his weakness.

0:05:550:05:57

-Sometimes, under pressure,

-his hands let him down.

0:05:570:06:01

-The Lions have kept the ball. This

-is a boost for their confidence.

0:06:010:06:06

-They keep possession,

-they control the game early on.

0:06:060:06:10

-Can they find the gaps? Yes.

0:06:110:06:13

-Thanks to Sexton. He off-loads.

0:06:140:06:16

-Murray. Behind the Maori defence.

0:06:160:06:19

-They need possession

-but it's been slowed down again.

0:06:190:06:22

-Itoje is standing still.

0:06:220:06:24

-They needed someone there quicker.

0:06:240:06:27

-They're still attacking

-after three minutes.

0:06:270:06:30

-They have a penalty. They deserve

-better than this for the opening.

0:06:310:06:36

-Murray looks up. Halfpenny is there.

0:06:360:06:39

-They come back for the kick.

0:06:390:06:41

-Sexton shows that he's back

-to the standard we expect of him.

0:06:460:06:50

-Connor Murray comes in. They needed

-a scrum-half to spread the ball.

0:06:500:06:55

-Here comes the penalty. Messam

-in the way, slowing the ball down.

0:06:550:07:00

-Owen Farrell missed

-a crucial kick in the last game.

0:07:040:07:09

-Halfpenny is 100% so far

-on this tour.

0:07:090:07:14

-He's succeeded with that as well.

0:07:140:07:18

-The Lions have the first points.

0:07:180:07:20

-O'Mahony offers an useful option

-in the line. He's captain today.

0:07:300:07:34

-He wasn't one of the favourites

-to start the test...

0:07:350:07:38

-..at the beginning of the tour.

0:07:380:07:40

-He's a different option.

0:07:410:07:43

-Slow and steady.

-The maul has gained ten metres.

0:07:440:07:48

-A penalty will do

-if they can keep the pressure on.

0:07:480:07:51

-Te'o's given Davies

-some instructions.

0:07:520:07:54

-Something could be on

-but Murray opts for the kick again.

0:07:540:07:57

-Watson chases. Perfectly measured.

0:07:580:08:00

-Ioane fails to gather

-and it's a penalty.

0:08:010:08:04

-The two brothers combine

-but for the wrong reasons.

0:08:040:08:08

-Ioane knocked it on and it

-was gathered by brother Akira.

0:08:080:08:12

-This is the Lions' plan

-during this tour.

0:08:120:08:15

-Set-piece control,

-the power of the pack...

0:08:150:08:18

-..precision kicking

-and competing in the air.

0:08:180:08:21

-That's the plan

-and it worked perfectly.

0:08:210:08:24

-None of the full-backs have

-impressed with ball in hand so far.

0:08:280:08:32

-What Halfpenny offers is accuracy

-and consistency with the boot.

0:08:320:08:38

-They're ahead 6-0. A superb

-opening 10 minutes for the Lions.

0:08:400:08:45

-Lowe with the kick. North.

0:08:530:08:56

-He's awake.

0:08:570:08:59

-Another quick line-out

-to try and open the game up.

0:09:000:09:04

-Dixon, the captain.

-Fortunate to retain possession.

0:09:080:09:11

-Have the Lions competed here?

0:09:110:09:13

-Itoje was in the middle of it.

-O'Brien too.

0:09:150:09:18

-Te'o did well

-not to gather the ball then...

0:09:190:09:22

-..despite the temptation.

0:09:230:09:24

-Milner-Skudder with the kick.

-North turns.

0:09:260:09:28

-North slips and loses the ball.

-Messam, he wins the race.

0:09:290:09:33

-The game's first try.

-It's been scored by the Maoris.

0:09:330:09:37

-Rather fortunate there.

-A defensive mistake.

0:09:380:09:41

-Once again, the kick behind

-the on-rushing defence.

0:09:410:09:44

-They've had the ball for less than

-a minute and they've scored a try.

0:09:450:09:49

-The Lions had it for 10 minutes

-and didn't look like scoring.

0:09:490:09:52

-That's the challenge

-facing the Lions.

0:09:530:09:55

-How do they score tries

-with all the possession they have?

0:09:550:09:59

-Milner-Skudder with the kick,

-a mistake by George North.

0:09:590:10:03

-He didn't commit enough

-and the kick ahead came.

0:10:030:10:07

-Messam pounced on it.

0:10:070:10:09

-The Maoris' history and tradition

-stretches back to 1888.

0:10:230:10:27

-They've lost the ball.

0:10:270:10:29

-Murray. He feeds the forwards.

0:10:310:10:34

-He sets up the platform

-and looks up.

0:10:340:10:37

-He tells Faletau and Watson

-to chase this.

0:10:370:10:41

-That's what they do.

0:10:410:10:43

-Once again,

-a perfectly-weighted kick.

0:10:430:10:46

-Ioane is under pressure.

-Faletau is there to.

0:10:460:10:49

-Dixon, the captain, the hooker.

0:10:540:10:56

-McKenzie on the back foot.

0:10:570:11:00

-He's found the space.

0:11:000:11:02

-What does North have to offer?

0:11:020:11:05

-He's in his own 22.

0:11:050:11:07

-This is the Lions' tactic -

-they kick long.

0:11:080:11:11

-You'd expect this in the First Test.

0:11:110:11:14

-The All Black test side will be

-so dangerous on the counter-attack.

0:11:140:11:18

-Watson.

0:11:200:11:22

-Trying to keep the ball alive.

-That's a trait of a Gatland side.

0:11:250:11:30

-James Lowe, on the way to Leinster.

-A late hit with the shoulder.

0:11:300:11:34

-Will the referee come back to that?

-They play on for now.

0:11:340:11:38

-Lowe's injured. It looked dangerous.

0:11:380:11:41

-He was in the air as he kicked.

0:11:410:11:44

-They might look at it again

-but I think he was committed.

0:11:440:11:47

-It did look like a thumping hit.

0:11:480:11:49

-What do the Lions have?

-What can they create here.

0:11:500:11:53

-Sexton, Furlong was flat

-and he had to take a step back.

0:11:550:11:59

-The timing wasn't perfect.

0:11:590:12:01

-George Kruis.

-He didn't want the ball.

0:12:040:12:06

-Back in the other direction.

-Sean O'Brien.

0:12:070:12:11

-Johnny Sexton. Jonathan Davies.

-O'Mahony is outside him.

0:12:110:12:15

-This is what Jonathan Davies

-can offer. Where's North?

0:12:150:12:19

-He dances past one defender.

-A metre from the try line.

0:12:190:12:22

-Great work from Davies.

-Quick ball to Connor Murray.

0:12:220:12:25

-Sean O'Brien.

0:12:250:12:27

-Only three defenders

-on the far side.

0:12:280:12:31

-Sexton. He changes direction.

0:12:320:12:34

-Kruis. We're still playing on

-after that tackle.

0:12:350:12:41

-I wonder if that

-will make a difference?

0:12:410:12:43

-For now, we play on.

0:12:430:12:45

-Murray. Advantage is being played.

0:12:450:12:48

-Everything's slowed down.

-They need to build the momentum.

0:12:540:12:58

-Here comes the pack,

-with O'Mahony leading the way.

0:12:580:13:01

-Slowly, one after the other,

-they come around the corner.

0:13:030:13:06

-Tries aren't coming easily

-for the Lions.

0:13:060:13:09

-They need to vary their game.

-They didn't look like scoring.

0:13:090:13:13

-A great run from Jonathan Davies.

-Will we return to that tackle?

0:13:130:13:18

-Off-side, No.7.

0:13:190:13:21

-All clear on that...?

0:13:220:13:24

-All clear on that...?

-

-All clear, mate.

0:13:240:13:25

-There's nothing to see

-from that tackle.

0:13:270:13:32

-Fair play to Jonathan Davies.

0:13:320:13:34

-He showed then why he's the first

-choice at centre for the Lions.

0:13:340:13:40

-100% for Halfpenny.

0:13:540:13:57

-Lions 9 - Maoris 7.

0:13:570:13:59

-Itoje.

0:14:120:14:14

-They've held him up.

0:14:160:14:17

-He's trying to get down.

0:14:170:14:19

-Has he reached the ground? No.

0:14:190:14:21

-The applause for the Maoris.

0:14:220:14:24

-It's a scrum for the hosts.

0:14:250:14:27

-Alun Wyn Jones will be

-an interested observer of Itoje.

0:14:280:14:31

-It's between Alun Wyn and Itoje

-for the shirt.

0:14:330:14:36

-Itoje has had the chance today.

0:14:360:14:38

-Backchat for the referee.

0:14:430:14:44

-Itoje has shown plenty of emotion

-during the tour so far.

0:14:450:14:48

-Jaco Peyper not happy

-with his response to the penalty.

0:14:480:14:52

-Another mark against him.

0:14:520:14:54

-An opportunity

-to put the Maoris back ahead.

0:15:000:15:03

-On average, the Lions have yielded

-12 penalties per game on this tour.

0:15:030:15:08

-When you concede a penalty...

0:15:090:15:11

-..you are penalised, and that's

-precisely what's happened here.

0:15:120:15:16

-The Lions went for the corner.

-Vunipola wins the penalty.

0:15:190:15:23

-Kruis controls the Lions' line-out.

0:15:230:15:26

-Catch and drive in the 22.

-This is the tactic.

0:15:260:15:30

-They're pulling the big forwards in.

0:15:300:15:33

-They've settled down.

0:15:410:15:44

-Connor Murray.

0:15:440:15:46

-Crawling across the field.

-Messam swallows him up.

0:15:460:15:50

-The Maori back-row

-was waiting for him.

0:15:500:15:52

-Kruis throws his body

-into the tackle area.

0:15:540:15:56

-It's slow ball.

-The Lions just drive the ball on.

0:15:560:16:00

-Here's Kruis.

0:16:010:16:03

-Sexton is complaining

-he's being held in.

0:16:040:16:07

-Ioane competes.

-He's going to get penalised.

0:16:070:16:10

-They can't unlock defences

-in the 22.

0:16:120:16:15

-Here's a chance. They have a penalty

-advantage. There's no pressure.

0:16:150:16:19

-Try something.

0:16:200:16:21

-That's the message.

-Try something different.

0:16:210:16:24

-That's what they try to do.

0:16:240:16:26

-The Maoris were waiting

-so back we go.

0:16:270:16:29

-They'll aim for the posts again.

0:16:300:16:32

-Yes. This is how the Lions

-will build a score.

0:16:320:16:35

-They're trying to gain

-an advantage...

0:16:360:16:38

-..and control the territory

-and possession.

0:16:390:16:42

-They don't look like a side

-that will score many tries.

0:16:420:16:46

-O'Brien shows his value

-with a strong run.

0:16:460:16:49

-That's what he offers

-that Warburton maybe can't.

0:16:490:16:52

-He carries well,

-but he's weaker in the tackle area.

0:16:520:16:55

-The Lions have had most

-of the territory and possession...

0:16:560:16:59

-..but they're relying on

-Halfpenny's boot to keep them ahead.

0:16:590:17:02

-The Maoris won't get much success

-against the Lions' pack.

0:17:070:17:11

-They need to open the game up.

0:17:110:17:13

-With players like Ioane

-and Milner-Skudder out there...

0:17:130:17:16

-..they can certainly attack

-from the wings.

0:17:170:17:19

-Messam,

-scorer of the game's only try.

0:17:200:17:23

-It was a lucky try.

0:17:230:17:25

-Hames.

0:17:250:17:27

-The Lions are slowing down

-the ball, they're competing well.

0:17:270:17:32

-They're pushing the Maoris back.

0:17:320:17:35

-Dixon.

0:17:370:17:39

-A warning for the Lions here.

-McKenzie.

0:17:390:17:42

-Ngatai.

0:17:440:17:45

-Itoje.

0:17:450:17:47

-Itoje wins the ball.

0:17:470:17:49

-The Lions' defence and organisation

-holds firm again.

0:17:490:17:55

-That's the value of Itoje.

0:17:550:17:57

-In open play,

-he did play at No.6 last season.

0:17:580:18:00

-He's comfortable in the tackle area

-competing for the ball.

0:18:010:18:05

-He hasn't had a great half...

0:18:050:18:07

-..but he's pushed his claims

-in the final minute.

0:18:100:18:14

-It's the new law.

0:18:170:18:19

-The new laws state

-that if you kick to touch...

0:18:190:18:24

-..the play goes on.

0:18:240:18:26

-He kicked it directly instead of

-tapping it and kicking it to touch.

0:18:260:18:31

-The ball hasn't been 'alive'

-since the award of the penalty.

0:18:310:18:35

-The game has to be restarted.

0:18:350:18:37

-This will be the end

-of the first half.

0:18:430:18:46

-Two points separate the sides.

0:18:460:18:49

-Statistically, the Lions

-have controlled the game.

0:18:490:18:52

-The kicking game, the defence,

-both have been excellent.

0:18:530:18:56

-At half-time, they lead 12-10.

0:18:570:19:01

-The Lions lead thanks to

-Leigh Halfpenny's right boot.

0:19:020:19:06

-It's close. Join us after the break.

-70% of the possession,

-70% of the territory.

0:19:200:19:24

-That's the Lions' dominance

-in the first half.

0:19:240:19:27

-Only two points

-separate the sides though.

0:19:270:19:30

-If you hadn't seen

-the tries and the kicks...

0:19:320:19:35

-..you'd expect the Lions to be ahead

-by 50 points looking at those stats.

0:19:350:19:41

-An early kick from Sexton.

0:19:410:19:43

-Dangerous.

0:19:430:19:45

-Yes indeed.

0:19:510:19:52

-The Lions will be eager

-to maintain their dominance.

0:19:520:19:58

-It's pouring with rain in Rotorua.

0:20:000:20:02

-Perfect weather for forward play.

0:20:020:20:05

-Te'o.

-He was quiet during the first half.

0:20:050:20:09

-Jonathan Davies

-shone brighter than him.

0:20:090:20:13

-This is the type of rugby that needs

-to be played in this weather.

0:20:140:20:18

-The Lions will be happy

-to gain territory...

0:20:180:20:21

-..drive on strongly...

0:20:210:20:23

-..force the penalties

-and build the pressure.

0:20:230:20:27

-Kerr-Barlow straight through.

-It's a kick to nothing from Sexton.

0:20:290:20:33

-Up it goes. Halfpenny's up.

0:20:330:20:35

-Itoje is stopped.

0:20:360:20:39

-Back we go.

0:20:390:20:40

-There needs to be a final warning

-for the constant infringing.

0:20:400:20:45

-Every time they seem

-to come down here...

0:20:450:20:48

-..they've already got 12 points,

-four penalties.

0:20:480:20:51

-I'm leaving the option open

-that there's no negative penalty...

0:20:510:20:55

-..that I can give a yellow card.

0:20:550:20:57

-Halfpenny's fifth attempt.

0:21:000:21:04

-Every penalty has been simple,

-on the 22.

0:21:040:21:08

-The Maoris are on a final warning.

0:21:080:21:10

-A yellow card could appear

-with the next penalty.

0:21:100:21:13

-Leigh Halfpenny makes them pay.

-The Lions are up to 15.

0:21:140:21:17

-Sexton, Te'o, Davies, North

-to the left.

0:21:240:21:27

-Watson and Halfpenny on the right.

0:21:270:21:30

-In which direction

-will the Lions go?

0:21:300:21:33

-Right. Faletau.

0:21:330:21:34

-To Halfpenny.

-Watson is outside him.

0:21:350:21:37

-Leigh Halfpenny. That was high.

0:21:370:21:40

-There we no arms in that tackle.

0:21:400:21:42

-Back we go.

0:21:440:21:46

-They'll check this tackle.

0:21:460:21:48

-Kerr-Barlow is in the sin-bin,

-I'd say, after that.

0:21:490:21:53

-Let's see it again.

0:21:550:21:57

-If it's the head,

-it could be more serious.

0:21:580:22:01

-It looks worse there

-than I thought it would be.

0:22:010:22:05

-It could be red.

0:22:060:22:08

-You don't wrap your arms and

-there's high contact on the cheek.

0:22:130:22:17

-Listen, listen now.

0:22:170:22:19

-The only mitigation is that the

-player is tackled and he's dropping.

0:22:200:22:24

-It's a yellow card for not wrapping.

0:22:250:22:27

-I think he feels hard done by there.

0:22:290:22:32

-I think most of the rugby world will

-think he's lucky not to see red.

0:22:320:22:37

-I'm surprised

-he hasn't been sent off.

0:22:380:22:40

-This time,

-the Lions turn down three points.

0:22:440:22:48

-They opt for the line.

0:22:490:22:51

-The target is George Kruis.

0:22:510:22:53

-He's a master in this area.

0:22:530:22:56

-He's pulling his players on.

-Jamie George.

0:22:560:23:00

-He drives the rolling maul on.

0:23:010:23:04

-It's slowed down again.

0:23:040:23:06

-Te'o at pace. Te'o.

0:23:060:23:07

-Crash through the tackle

-went Ben Te'o.

0:23:080:23:10

-The Lions must score.

0:23:130:23:15

-They're celebrating the try.

0:23:150:23:17

-They're going upstairs.

0:23:200:23:22

-The direct route. Let's find out

-if the ball was grounded.

0:23:270:23:31

-The rolling maul was stopped

-in the first place.

0:23:320:23:35

-Ben Te'o drove at McKenzie.

-He went through the little fly-half.

0:23:360:23:40

-Inches short and the pack arrives.

0:23:400:23:43

-I do think George

-had his hands on it.

0:23:430:23:46

-They were so close

-in the first place.

0:23:460:23:48

-Is he short?

0:23:490:23:52

-McKenzie at scrum-half,

-filling in for Kerr-Barlow.

0:24:070:24:11

-What's the plan this time?

-Spread it or use the scrum?

0:24:110:24:16

-Penalty advantage. Murray dummies.

0:24:160:24:19

-Faletau on his shoulder.

-They just can't reach the try line.

0:24:190:24:23

-Vunipola is strong and powerful.

-Another chance for him.

0:24:250:24:29

-The penalty is on its way.

0:24:290:24:31

-The advantage is being played.

0:24:310:24:34

-Another advantage.

-Will they be down to 13 men soon?

0:24:350:24:39

-He's in front. Scrum penalty.

0:24:390:24:41

-Peter O'Mahony is asking

-if there's another yellow card.

0:24:420:24:47

-No, no, he's in front.

-He picked it up and he's in front.

0:24:500:24:54

-The Lions keep the ball

-in the scrum...

0:24:540:24:57

-..even when one of the Maori backs

-is missing.

0:24:570:25:00

-Connor Murray took on McKenzie.

0:25:000:25:02

-I'm surprised he didn't get over.

0:25:030:25:05

-Five penalties in 10 minutes

-against the Maoris.

0:25:170:25:21

-McKenzie at scrum-half.

-They're a back short.

0:25:210:25:24

-Loose-head Hames

-has already been penalised.

0:25:240:25:27

-There's another penalty advantage.

-Will it be more?

0:25:280:25:31

-Yes. A penalty try for the Lions.

0:25:310:25:34

-The strength of the pack

-was crucial.

0:25:350:25:38

-They've been patient,

-increasing the pressure.

0:25:380:25:42

-The scrum turned

-under all that pressure.

0:25:430:25:46

-Jaco Peyper's had enough

-of all the penalties.

0:25:460:25:50

-It's a penalty try for the Lions.

0:25:500:25:53

-Seven points added to the score.

0:25:530:25:55

-The Maoris are chasing the game.

0:26:030:26:06

-They have enough time

-but they need to change things.

0:26:060:26:10

-The Lions have a stranglehold

-on this game.

0:26:100:26:13

-McKenzie. Not the best kick.

0:26:170:26:20

-Jonathan Davies.

-He's had a good game so far.

0:26:200:26:23

-The kick. The defence is slow.

0:26:240:26:26

-Watson almost made it.

0:26:260:26:28

-Ioane under the shadow

-of his own posts.

0:26:280:26:32

-Over the try-line. All the pressure

-coming from the Lions.

0:26:320:26:36

-Since Kerr-Barlow

-went to the sin-bin...

0:26:370:26:40

-..the Maoris have suffered.

0:26:400:26:43

-They've lost their way in attack.

-It was a poor kick from McKenzie.

0:26:440:26:48

-It strayed to no-man's land and

-the Lions pushed them back again.

0:26:490:26:52

-Their power game

-is becoming more evident.

0:26:520:26:55

-Do the backs have any hope

-of getting the ball here?

0:27:000:27:03

-Psychologically,

-this is important for the Lions.

0:27:030:27:07

-This scrum isn't moving.

0:27:070:27:09

-Well done the Maoris.

0:27:110:27:12

-To the blind-side. Faletau.

0:27:130:27:15

-Time after time,

-the Lions can see the white line.

0:27:180:27:21

-They don't cross it often,

-but this time they do.

0:27:210:27:25

-A try for Maro Itoje.

0:27:250:27:27

-The Lions stretch their advantage.

0:27:270:27:30

-Faletau went close.

-The ball was recycled.

0:27:380:27:41

-They almost got there

-in the first place.

0:27:410:27:43

-No-one at home

-on the left-hand side.

0:27:440:27:46

-Only one man in defence

-and he couldn't keep Itoje out.

0:27:460:27:50

-The Lions have truly

-dominated this game.

0:27:500:27:55

-Will Alun Wyn Jones and

-Sam Warburton start the tests, Gwyn?

0:28:030:28:08

-It doesn't seem likely now.

0:28:080:28:11

-This pack has controlled

-and improved as the game's gone on.

0:28:110:28:17

-That's caught

-Warren Gatland's eye today.

0:28:180:28:22

-For me,

-this pack will start next week.

0:28:230:28:25

-O'Mahony too?

0:28:260:28:27

-O'Mahony too?

-

-O'Mahony too.

0:28:270:28:29

-Here's O'Brien. He can carry

-the ball and steal possession.

0:28:340:28:41

-Ben Te'o. The Lions are waking up.

0:28:420:28:45

-They stay on the blind-side.

-Henderson's replaced Kruis.

0:28:470:28:51

-Itoje waits. Furlong is with him.

0:28:540:28:57

-Sexton calls for it.

0:29:000:29:01

-Jamie George is flat.

-Back it went. Ben Te'o.

0:29:010:29:04

-O'Mahony. Jonathan Davies.

0:29:040:29:07

-Davies in two minds.

0:29:070:29:09

-Davies is isolated.

0:29:090:29:11

-The forwards fly in

-to the tackle area.

0:29:110:29:14

-McGrath.

0:29:170:29:19

-Plenty of energy in the Lions' play.

0:29:200:29:22

-Henderson. A half-break.

0:29:230:29:26

-Within a metre. They drive on.

0:29:260:29:29

-Murray tried to compete for the ball

-but the Maoris steal the ball.

0:29:310:29:35

-Great defence.

0:29:350:29:38

-The Lions keep possession.

0:29:380:29:40

-The Lions are starting to relax

-and move the ball more freely.

0:29:400:29:46

-Henderson has made his mark

-since he came on.

0:29:460:29:50

-Here's Henderson.

0:29:500:29:52

-He looks like a perfect

-impact player from the bench.

0:29:520:29:56

-He carries well and he can fill

-a hole in the back row.

0:29:560:30:01

-The Lions are growing in confidence.

0:30:010:30:05

-Sam Warburton is on.

0:30:060:30:07

-17 minutes to try and make his mark.

0:30:080:30:12

-O'Mahony hobbled off.

0:30:120:30:15

-Connor Murray takes a step back.

0:30:230:30:25

-He wants to see the forwards

-use their power.

0:30:260:30:28

-Faletau. Murray flies in.

0:30:290:30:31

-The Maoris' defence looks shaky.

0:30:340:30:38

-The Lions are full of confidence.

0:30:380:30:40

-Jack McGrath.

0:30:400:30:41

-The Maoris have stolen the ball.

0:30:440:30:46

-The Lions were complacent

-in the tackle area.

0:30:470:30:50

-McKenzie. There was nothing on.

-He clears.

0:30:520:30:55

-The Lions will regroup

-and attack again.

0:30:550:30:58

-Ken Owens, like Jamie George,

-has found his man time after time.

0:31:050:31:12

-Back to the pack,

-back to territorial dominance.

0:31:120:31:15

-This is the tactic that's worked,

-the pattern that's being developed.

0:31:150:31:20

-They've stuck to this tactic

-from the start.

0:31:200:31:24

-There's control and purpose

-in everything they do.

0:31:240:31:28

-They will want to keep the ball

-out of the All Blacks' hands...

0:31:280:31:33

-..for as long as possible.

0:31:330:31:35

-Te'o.

0:31:370:31:38

-I wonder who'll play

-10 and 12 for the Lions?

0:31:390:31:42

-High on Faletau.

-Messam with the tackle.

0:31:420:31:46

-Ken Owens.

-He rolls out of the tackle.

0:31:480:31:51

-Laidlaw is on. Biggar's joined him.

0:31:530:31:55

-The Irish half-backs are off.

0:31:550:31:57

-Davies has looked dangerous.

-Ioane throws him to the ground.

0:31:580:32:02

-Biggar. Watson. No room for him.

0:32:030:32:06

-He takes it back in.

0:32:060:32:07

-Anthony Watson

-has been quiet but effective.

0:32:080:32:11

-The Lions are controlling this game.

0:32:110:32:14

-Controlling territory,

-controlling possession.

0:32:140:32:17

-That's what they have to do.

0:32:170:32:19

-They're not going to score a try

-from their own half.

0:32:190:32:22

-They must be patient

-and put pressure on the opposition.

0:32:220:32:26

-Faletau, back inside to O'Brien.

0:32:260:32:28

-Faletau, back inside to O'Brien.

-

-No, off-side.

0:32:280:32:29

-Plenty of pressure.

-They've opened the game up a little.

0:32:320:32:36

-Te'o is an important part.

0:32:360:32:38

-When the ball comes back,

-he carries the ball the first time.

0:32:380:32:42

-Halfpenny has forgotten

-how to miss kicks.

0:32:510:32:54

-100% today, 100% on tour.

0:32:540:32:56

-This is the final play.

-The Lions have won comfortably.

0:33:180:33:24

-That might be a sign

-of things to come.

0:33:240:33:28

-There we go.

0:33:390:33:41

-The final whistle.

0:33:430:33:45

-The Lions have made

-a significant statement.

0:33:460:33:51

-All Black coach Steve Hansen

-had asked...

0:33:510:33:54

-..what Warren Gatland

-had up his sleeve.

0:33:540:33:57

-The answer is simple.

0:33:570:33:59

-Power, strength, organisation.

0:33:590:34:02

-The platform has been set

-for the First Test.

0:34:030:34:06

-The flair of the All Blacks

-against the power of the Lions.

0:34:070:34:12

-We can't wait.

0:34:120:34:14

-In Rotorua,

-the Lions have claimed victory.

0:34:140:34:18

-The final score against

-the Maori All Blacks is 32-10.

0:34:180:34:22

-A thumping win for the Lions.

0:34:230:34:26

-The reaction from New Zealand...

0:34:260:34:29

-..and the Jones' boys thoughts

-after the break.

0:34:470:34:49

-Steve Hansen has been critical

-of the Lions' tactics recently.

0:34:490:34:53

-What's Warren Gatland's

-response to that and to the game?

0:34:530:34:57

-Surprised a little bit

-with Steve Hansen.

0:34:570:35:00

-Normally he's pretty calm.

0:35:000:35:03

-It's not anything

-that's been worrying for us.

0:35:030:35:07

-All I've taken from it, he's gone...

0:35:080:35:10

-..phooph, maybe he's a little bit

-more worried than he normally is.

0:35:100:35:14

-He's normally calm and collected.

0:35:140:35:17

-He's saying and delivering

-a lot of comments about us...

0:35:170:35:21

-..and things that he knows

-or doesn't know.

0:35:210:35:23

-That's normally a sign of a man

-that's just a little bit worried.

0:35:240:35:28

-Tonight was another step forward

-towards what our goal is.

0:35:290:35:33

-To beat the All Blacks, you have

-to be the best in the world.

0:35:330:35:37

-We don't have a huge time frame but

-I think we're using our time well.

0:35:370:35:41

-I thought we used tonight well.

-..and have a look at those things

-and kick on into Tuesday.

0:35:510:35:55

-I thought defensively, when you

-look at the attacking quality...

0:35:550:35:59

-..of their back-line and speaking

-to the players afterwards...

0:35:590:36:03

-..they didn't feel

-under any pressure at all.

0:36:030:36:05

-They didn't feel like the Maori

-were able to stress them at all.

0:36:050:36:09

-Their try was from a speculative

-kick and a lucky bounce.

0:36:100:36:13

-We can be proud

-of that performance...

0:36:140:36:17

-..but to beat the All Blacks

-is another step up.

0:36:170:36:20

-Hopefully we'll see that

-in the next week.

0:36:200:36:23

-That's the response. Better,

-said Gatland. Do you agree, Deiniol?

0:36:240:36:28

-We have to look at the game

-as an improvement.

0:36:280:36:32

-The Maoris picked 15 players who've

-shone in Super Rugby this season.

0:36:320:36:38

-The boys are unlucky not to

-be playing for the All Blacks.

0:36:380:36:42

-Beating them by that score-line

-will boost the Lions.

0:36:430:36:47

-It was a better performance

-to build momentum and confidence.

0:36:470:36:51

-Those were two things Warren Gatland

-wanted and he's had them.

0:36:510:36:55

-An excellent performance, fair play.

0:36:550:36:57

-The Lions have one strong weapon, a

-tactic they use time and time again.

0:36:570:37:03

-This kicking game -

-we've seen it before.

0:37:030:37:05

-Kicking to gain territory

-in particular.

0:37:060:37:08

-Johnny Sexton, Owen Farrell,

-the same happened last week.

0:37:090:37:13

-They look for spaces,

-a great kick from the fly-half.

0:37:130:37:18

-The way Warren Gatland

-wants to play...

0:37:180:37:21

-..keep the pressure

-on the All Blacks.

0:37:210:37:24

-Play down in their half.

0:37:240:37:26

-With Sexton and Farell,

-you can do that.

0:37:270:37:31

-That's how Warren Gatland

-wants the team to play.

0:37:310:37:34

-That kick by Sexton was inch

-perfect, there's no doubting that.

0:37:350:37:39

-They also changed tactics

-by kicking to secure possession.

0:37:390:37:45

-If you look back at the Irish

-victory over the All Blacks...

0:37:450:37:49

-..they looked to compete

-and regain possession.

0:37:490:37:52

-From the re-start, Sexton puts it

-high and Watson re-gathers the ball.

0:37:520:37:57

-You must put pressure

-on the All Blacks.

0:37:570:38:01

-Kick to the corners

-and regain possession.

0:38:010:38:05

-Sexton was spot-on

-with all his kicks.

0:38:050:38:08

-Where does that leave

-the maestro Owen Farrell?

0:38:080:38:12

-This situation

-is giving Warren Gatland a headache.

0:38:120:38:15

-It's a headache

-he's probably enjoying.

0:38:160:38:19

-After the first few games, we

-were discussing Farrell's position.

0:38:190:38:24

-They needed to pick him somewhere.

0:38:240:38:27

-Sexton is back on form.

0:38:270:38:30

-Farrell is injured right now.

0:38:300:38:32

-I think Gatland will stick

-with Sexton for the First Test.

0:38:320:38:37

-If he's fit,

-Owen Farrell will be on the bench.

0:38:370:38:40

-Who would have predicted that

-after Sexton's poor start?

0:38:410:38:45

-The kicks were so effective...

0:38:450:38:47

-..and forced the errors from

-the Maoris throughout the game.

0:38:480:38:53

-Kicking to the corner

-and regaining the possession...

0:38:530:38:56

-..it's all to do with building

-pressure on the opposition.

0:38:560:38:59

-The tactic forced the Maoris

-into making mistakes.

0:38:590:39:03

-Will the same tactic be

-just as effective next week...

0:39:040:39:07

-..against the All Blacks?

0:39:080:39:10

-If the kick is accurate and the

-chase is good, yes, it will be.

0:39:100:39:14

-That was an individual error.

0:39:140:39:16

-I don't think we can expect

-to see things like that.

0:39:160:39:19

-Connor Murray's box kicks

-are so accurate.

0:39:190:39:21

-These boys have a chance to regain

-the ball and build pressure.

0:39:220:39:25

-Last week the Crusaders struggled

-under the high ball.

0:39:250:39:31

-Connor Murray

-does it so brilliantly.

0:39:310:39:35

-He's the best No.9 in the world

-at the moment.

0:39:350:39:38

-He'll start the First Test.

0:39:380:39:40

-Tactically for Warren Gatland,

-the long ball downfield...

0:39:410:39:46

-..up in the air to compete,

-great defence...

0:39:460:39:50

-..and then they have everything

-to stop other teams playing.

0:39:500:39:56

-They don't give them any room.

0:39:560:39:58

-I think we'll see that tactic

-next Saturday.

0:39:580:40:02

-The weather will play its part,

-no doubt.

0:40:020:40:06

-In Auckland on Friday...

0:40:060:40:08

-..we saw excellent weather

-for the All Blacks' test match.

0:40:080:40:13

-Will Gatland be praying for rain

-in the First Test?

0:40:130:40:18

-Yes, I think it will help a little.

0:40:180:40:21

-The All Blacks are so dangerous

-if you give them time to play.

0:40:210:40:27

-As Rob said, the Lions will be

-hoping to close down the space...

0:40:270:40:31

-..increase the pressure, the rain

-will help them in that respect...

0:40:310:40:36

-..and build pressure

-in the scrum and line-out.

0:40:360:40:40

-That's where

-the Lions' strength lies.

0:40:400:40:43

-We spoke about

-the strong kicking game.

0:40:430:40:46

-Something else they did effectively

-today was slow the ball down.

0:40:460:40:50

-They kept possession

-and forced the penalties.

0:40:510:40:54

-You have to remember that

-Jaco Peyper was the referee.

0:40:540:40:59

-They'll be looking to do

-the same things next week.

0:41:000:41:03

-In terms of the tight game

-they play...

0:41:030:41:06

-..they won't spread the ball.

0:41:060:41:08

-We can see here,

-they drive in midfield...

0:41:080:41:11

-..the centres and wings are looking

-to come in close to the action.

0:41:110:41:16

-They keep the ball tight

-and squeeze out the penalties.

0:41:160:41:21

-They have the best kicker

-in the world at full-back...

0:41:210:41:24

-..and they want to play

-in midfield...

0:41:240:41:26

-..in areas

-where penalties can be kicked.

0:41:260:41:29

-Is it a dangerous tactic,

-especially against the All Blacks?

0:41:290:41:32

-They won't give them the chance

-to slow down the game.

0:41:330:41:36

-That's what Warren Gatland wants.

0:41:360:41:38

-We know how every team

-under Warren Gatland plays.

0:41:380:41:42

-Defence is very important.

0:41:420:41:45

-Up quickly, don't give the All

-Blacks any room to create chances.

0:41:450:41:51

-That will then benefit the Lions.

0:41:520:41:56

-The same with the back three.

0:41:560:41:58

-If you kick

-and compete for everything...

0:41:590:42:01

-..don't give the opposition

-any room to play their open game.

0:42:020:42:06

-I think it's the right tactic

-with the personnel he has.

0:42:060:42:09

-In terms of the team, he will be

-very pleased with today's pack.

0:42:090:42:14

-Fair play, they put in a shift.

0:42:140:42:18

-The forwards build the platform

-for Warren Gatland's game.

0:42:180:42:22

-They were excellent today.

0:42:230:42:24

-When you do kick to the corners,

-this is what we can expect to see.

0:42:240:42:28

-It's something that's developed

-throughout the tour.

0:42:280:42:32

-We can see Ben Te'o's

-physical presence from the ruck.

0:42:320:42:35

-The line, the scrum,

-the units have started to gel.

0:42:360:42:40

-The pack that played today,

-I can't see many changes next week.

0:42:400:42:46

-They were very effective.

0:42:460:42:48

-The penalties came

-from the pressure that built.

0:42:480:42:51

-The line-outs and scrums allowed

-them to benefit from the pressure.

0:42:510:42:55

-Murray and Sexton or Murray

-and Farrell, they control the game.

0:42:550:42:59

-They can only control it

-when the pack's moving forward...

0:42:590:43:03

-..and giving them

-the quick, clean ball they need.

0:43:030:43:06

-Murray's playing well,

-Sexton and Farrell are in form.

0:43:070:43:12

-That's because the pack are doing

-so well in front of them.

0:43:120:43:17

-Deiniol talked about units

-being created.

0:43:170:43:20

-One that stood out

-was in the second row.

0:43:200:43:23

-Maro Itoje

-was a shining light today.

0:43:230:43:26

-How much will his performance

-influence the second row selection?

0:43:260:43:32

-Will Alun Wyn Jones

-still play in the First Test?

0:43:320:43:36

-The half-back partnership

-and second row partnership...

0:43:360:43:39

-..are causing headaches.

0:43:390:43:41

-Kruis will start,

-he calls the line-outs.

0:43:410:43:43

-He's worked hard

-with Steve Borthwick.

0:43:440:43:47

-Who will partner him -

-Itoje was superb today.

0:43:470:43:51

-He's good in open play,

-he's strong in the scrum...

0:43:510:43:54

-..here he is diving over for a try.

0:43:540:43:57

-It's a matter of balance, who can

-make an impact off the bench?

0:43:570:44:02

-Who will captain the team?

0:44:020:44:04

-Will Warburton start the test?

0:44:040:44:07

-They might bring Alun Wyn Jones in

-as a leader.

0:44:070:44:10

-The competition

-between those three is excellent.

0:44:100:44:14

-That's a big question,

-will Sam Warburton start?

0:44:140:44:17

-Sean O'Brien had a great game.

-Will Sam start on the bench?

0:44:170:44:21

-I think he will. I don't think

-he's played enough rugby.

0:44:210:44:26

-His performances up to now

-hasn't been good enough...

0:44:260:44:29

-..to merit a place in the team.

0:44:300:44:32

-O'Brian and O'Mahony today,

-as captain, was excellent.

0:44:320:44:38

-I think Warburton will

-start on the bench.

0:44:390:44:42

-For me, the pack that started today

-is the starting test pack.

0:44:420:44:46

-I's a good headache

-for Warren Gatland to have.

0:44:470:44:50

-Thank you both for now.

0:44:500:44:52

-The Lions faced

-a fierce haka today...

0:44:520:44:55

-..but others have been

-facing up this week.

0:44:550:44:58

-The haka. The Maori war dance.

0:45:000:45:03

-It's a familiar sight on this tour.

0:45:030:45:05

-The provinces

-have also performed the haka.

0:45:060:45:09

-In Rotorua, there was a special

-event linked to the dance...

0:45:090:45:13

-..this time with thousands

-of people present.

0:45:130:45:16

-We're hoping to do

-the world's largest haka.

0:45:160:45:19

-It's already a cool spectacle.

0:45:190:45:22

-The town's got behind it so we just

-want people to have a good time...

0:45:220:45:26

-..and a cool experience.

0:45:260:45:28

-We're happy

-regardless of the outcome.

0:45:280:45:31

-I'm here to fulfil the role

-as leader of the haka today.

0:45:320:45:37

-Hopefully we'll reach our capacity

-and we'll smash this world record.

0:45:370:45:43

-There's that little niggle that

-the current holders are the French.

0:45:470:45:51

-It's a motivating factor

-for the Lions' fans.

0:45:510:45:55

-Help us take the record

-off the French.

0:45:550:45:58

-Unexpected but we found out

-about it last night.

0:45:590:46:01

-Even though we're not natives,

-we can take part.

0:46:020:46:05

-Looking forward to it.

0:46:060:46:07

-Never done anything like it before

-so it's something different.

0:46:070:46:11

-No matter who you are

-or where you're from...

0:46:120:46:15

-..we treat people with open arms.

0:46:150:46:17

-I guess this is a message

-to the world.

0:46:170:46:21

-Unite and come together

-on occasions like this.

0:46:210:46:24

-Even in the midst of the fun, the

-test series in on everyone's minds.

0:46:250:46:29

-How confident

-are the home supporters?

0:46:300:46:32

-The Lions have a tough tour,

-a lot of moving around.

0:46:330:46:37

-It's in the All Blacks' favour.

0:46:370:46:39

-I have a British passport, I'm on

-the fence, but it'll be a flogging!

0:46:390:46:43

-I'll let you choose what team.

0:46:440:46:46

-We're absolutely stoked.

-That was amazing.

0:46:490:46:52

-The support, unbelievable.

0:46:530:46:55

-I think we've got a new record.

0:46:550:46:57

-Yeah, absolutely proud,

-and yeah, just love it.

0:46:570:47:01

-Warren Gatland has called up

-six players to the squad...

0:47:030:47:07

-..including four Welsh players.

0:47:070:47:09

-Who he's picked

-has created a bit of a stir.

0:47:090:47:13

-Here's the man himself

-to explain his decision.

0:47:130:47:17

-In terms of devaluing the shirt, I

-can see some people's point of view.

0:47:190:47:23

-We're here to win a test series.

0:47:240:47:26

-It's about guys covering, not

-travelling halfway around the world.

0:47:260:47:31

-We found it difficult

-in the first 10 days we were here...

0:47:310:47:35

-..in terms of jet-lag,

-time differences and stuff.

0:47:370:47:40

-The players coming in from Auckland

-last night and from Australia...

0:47:410:47:45

-..will fit quickly

-into that time-zone.

0:47:450:47:48

-Devaluing the shirt, that's the

-allegation. Fair point, Deiniol?

0:47:480:47:54

-I think it is,

-it does devalue the shirt.

0:47:540:47:57

-Gareth Davies is worthy

-of his place...

0:47:570:48:00

-..he'll add something to the squad.

0:48:000:48:03

-The other three have been chosen

-ahead of better, in-form players.

0:48:030:48:08

-Kristian Dacey,

-Cory Hill and Tomas Francis.

0:48:080:48:12

-I wonder how Dylan Hartley

-and Joe Launchbury feel?

0:48:120:48:15

-Very disappointed.

0:48:160:48:18

-Gatland knew before they set off

-that he had enough time...

0:48:180:48:22

-..to have the best players

-out in New Zealand.

0:48:220:48:25

-The Lions are the best in Britain.

0:48:260:48:28

-That's important when you choose

-players to wear that red shirt.

0:48:280:48:33

-This debate will rage on and on.

0:48:340:48:36

-Thank you both for joining me.

0:48:360:48:39

-The rugby continues on S4C

-over the next few days.

0:48:390:48:42

-Tomorrow, Wales U20

-take on Italy U20 at 1.45pm.

0:48:420:48:48

-The First Test kicks off

-next Saturday.

0:48:480:48:50

-We're back at 10.00pm on Tuesday

-as the Lions face the Chiefs.

0:48:510:48:55

-Warren Gatland is back

-on his home patch in Hamilton.

0:48:560:49:00

-No-one wants to lose at home.

0:49:000:49:03

-Preparations

-for the First Test continue.

0:49:030:49:06

-Until Tuesday night, goodbye.
