0:05:37 > 0:05:41- They've only been in New Zealand - for three days since landing.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46- An early opportunity - for this provincial team.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55- Some confusion from both sides. - It's very messy.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02- Here's Gatland. Not the best kick.
0:06:03 > 0:06:04- Hogg.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- They'll be looking - to settle their nerves early.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17- A mistake from Henderson. - The Lions will be nervous too.

0:06:26 > 0:06:30- Laidlaw. He'll be joining - Clermont Auvergne next season.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- A late addition.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37- A chance to see - the Lions' kicking strategy.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44- Warren Gatland - likes to keep the ball alive.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50- He doesn't favour kicking to touch.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52- Gatland. The miss-pass.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- Here's Reece, the dangerous Fijian.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- Sweeney, the most experienced - in the hosts' side.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11- Mewett, the second row.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- Gatland again. - The door is slammed in his face.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- Once again, they're using - the width of the pitch.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23- Great play from the winger.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26- Vaka over the 22.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- Sexton up quickly.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44- A great start from the team thrown - together in the past few days.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47- They've shown good ball retention.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- The tempo in their play - has really caught the eye.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54- Untidy. It's been knocked on.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57- Both teams will appreciate - the break.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08- Stuart Hogg standing right - behind Sexton.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12- They've paired up behind the scrum.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16- An interesting set-up - from the Lions.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19- The foundation work is perfect.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20- Laidlaw. Sexton.
0:08:21 > 0:08:22- Back to Seymour. Over the 22.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25- They're going in the same direction.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31- The Lions in possession.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33- Their first visit to the 22.
0:08:34 > 0:08:35- Sexton.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44- Sexton on the blindside.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- Hogg does well - to keep the ball alive.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- Best. He will want - a happier tour this time around.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- Laidlaw tucks in as flanker - to secure the ball.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05- Alun Wyn Jones tries to off-load.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09- This is better from the Lions.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12- Laidlaw stumbles. Henderson.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- Sexton. Joseph. - Te'o once again in the move.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23- He's been driven back in the tackle.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- Gatland's patterns - are evident already.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32- The forwards - are taking the ball up a lot.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- Te'o's been an effective carrier
0:09:38 > 0:09:42- These are the same patterns we've - seen with Wales for nine years.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46- during the week.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49- It doesn't look that smooth so far.
0:09:57 > 0:09:58- Stratton is the scrum half.
0:10:00 > 0:10:01- Mewett the second row.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05- Gatland. He likes to kick.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10- That was a poor kick - after a well judged kick earlier.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13- Watson boots it downfield.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16- Gatland's kick started the move.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20- A little kick - to turn the defensive line.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23- Here comes Laulala. - You recognise the name.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26- You'll know his brother, Casey.
0:10:27 > 0:10:28- He's lost the ball.
0:10:29 > 0:10:30- Watson.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39- Only six of the Lions' starting XV - have worn the shirt before.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42- Nine are making their debuts.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46- One of those is Greig Laidlaw.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49- Sexton has plenty of experience.
0:10:52 > 0:10:53- Sinckler is the Harlequins prop.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57- Sexton again. Here's another - Harlequins prop, Marler.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02- They're playing a lot off the No.10.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09- Runners are either side of Sexton. - It's easy to defend.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- That's why the ball - is slow coming back to them.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16- The speed and inventiveness - of the first quarter...
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- ..all belongs to the Barbarians.
0:11:19 > 0:11:24- They're moving the ball around, - they look the more exciting side.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27- Johnny Sexton.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31- This is his eighth appearance - for the Lions.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- He missed the first, - he slots over the second.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40- The first points of the tour - for Johnny Sexton.
0:11:41 > 0:11:46- The Lions lead 3-0.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- For the second time, - Henderson fails to gather.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- The Lions look rusty, - communication isn't the best.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56- Is that to be expected?
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- Yes, but the same is true - of the opposition today.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- There's so much to play for, - everyone's a little nervous.
0:12:05 > 0:12:06- A well-judged kick.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- Laulala. He has plenty of support.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16- Laulala goes on his own - and off-loads.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18- Finau slides over.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- Faletau with a miraculous tackle.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26- That's the danger if you kick - to a counter-attacking side...
0:12:26 > 0:12:28- ..as all sides are in New Zealand.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- A wonderful counter-attack - from Laulala.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35- A heroic tackle to save the day.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41- They go to the back.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44- Gatland with the kick again.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- He has plenty of tricks. - Where will this one land?
0:12:50 > 0:12:51- A game of ping pong.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55- It's back on the Barbarians' side.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59- in the tackle...
0:12:59 > 0:13:01- ..but the Barbarians play on.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06- Goodhue, the blond-haired lock.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10- The forwards collect once again.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19- A try here would be exactly - what the Barbarians deserve.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22- Boshier. Sexton was up quickly.
0:13:23 > 0:13:24- Best is in close support.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27- The ball has been slowed down.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32- Henderson comes through - the middle illegally.
0:13:33 > 0:13:34- Mewett.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44- Plenty of pressure.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48- The captain, Anderson-Heather.
0:13:48 > 0:13:53- He's scored. The first try of the - game for the Provincial Barbarians.
0:13:53 > 0:13:54- They deserve the try.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01- The captain popped out with the ball - and headed for the space.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- He eluded the first tackler - and over he went.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08- With 28 minutes on the clock...
0:14:09 > 0:14:12- ..what messages - would be coming down to the players?
0:14:12 > 0:14:15- They need to control - the tempo of the game.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19- At the moment, the tempo of - the game is too much for the Lions.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25- Reece. An off-load to Boshier, - the open side flanker.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30- You saw the replacement, - Jonah Lowe on the field.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33- Once again, - the Lions have possession.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36- A sensible call from Faletau.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- He could see the opportunity - for an interception.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- Moriarty has been quiet.
0:14:44 > 0:14:45- Hogg off-loads.
0:14:46 > 0:14:47- Te'o looks for Sinckler.
0:14:48 > 0:14:49- Sinckler up to the 22.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56- A slick move from the Lions. - Te'o again.
0:15:01 > 0:15:02- Seymour looks for work.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08- Moriarty was standing still, - then he drives on.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11- Have they created an overlap?
0:15:12 > 0:15:15- Joseph to Hogg. - Hogg, Watson is outside him.
0:15:17 > 0:15:18- Not the best pass.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23- You expect better - from players like Hogg.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26- The New Zealanders take it quickly.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30- You would have expected that ball - to be in front of Watson...
0:15:30 > 0:15:32- ..and the Lions to score
0:15:33 > 0:15:35- Not the best skills, - you expect better.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39- Hogg's having a nightmare - in this first game.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46- Here he is. - What does he have to offer here?
0:15:48 > 0:15:50- His foot was in touch.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56- Here's the chance. - The pass behind Joseph.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59- Draw the man in - and the try would have come.
0:16:00 > 0:16:01- You expect better.
0:16:06 > 0:16:07- The ball swerved on the wind.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14- This is beyond - the Barbarians' wildest dreams.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18- So effective, so encouraging.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26- They're playing good, - organised, attractive rugby.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33- This man, Bryn Gatland, - is the chief orchestrator.
0:16:38 > 0:16:43- Something different again. Sometimes - it works, sometimes it doesn't.
0:16:45 > 0:16:46- Laidlaw. Te'o.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- Hogg. He hasn't had - the finest first half hour.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55- Faletau on his shoulder tidying up.
0:16:57 > 0:16:58- Henderson.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02- They like going back - to the forwards.
0:17:03 > 0:17:04- Best at 10.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08- They're slowing the game down when - they need to pick up the tempo.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13- Jonathan Joseph. - Moriarty is strong and powerful.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16- Off goes Moriarty. Into the 22.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21- Sinckler does well - to release the ball.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- Te'o is strong again. - He looks for the pass.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29- Stuart Hogg, has he slipped?
0:17:31 > 0:17:34- This is better from the Lions. - They're over the line.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38- No try, - but they are starting to click.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43- That's better. - That's what Hogg can do.
0:17:44 > 0:17:45- He hit a great angle.
0:17:48 > 0:17:49- Sinckler did well.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55- Te'o held the ball up, the support - players chose an angle off him.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59- I thought Hogg - could have slid in there.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07- Faletau has shown his class - time after time.
0:18:08 > 0:18:09- He's isolated there.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14- Alun Wyn Jones. - Over the advantage line.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19- The Lions are playing a power game.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24- That's the third time the forwards - have carried the ball.
0:18:24 > 0:18:25- It's slow.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29- Jonathan Joseph. - He wants the ball on the front foot.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34- Here we go again. - The forwards around the corner.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37- This is Gatland's system. - Nothing's changed.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- It's been the Welsh way for years.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42- Hogg. This time to Watson.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45- This time a little earlier.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47- Watson does well off his wing.
0:18:48 > 0:18:49- No try for the Lions so far.
0:18:50 > 0:18:51- Faletau once again.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53- Adventurous. Skilful.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57- Within a metre.
0:18:59 > 0:19:00- Once again he's been held up.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05- That's Gatland's strategy - in one passage of play.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08- The same direction, time after time.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12- Good work from Sinckler - and Henderson to put Faletau clear.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17- Plenty of power to reach the line - but he couldn't ground the ball.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22- They might have scored but - the referee wasn't well positioned.
0:19:22 > 0:19:23- The backs in pods.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27- It's out to the backs once again.
0:19:28 > 0:19:29- Joseph. Joseph slips.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34- Joseph. He's been held up again.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36- That's the end of the half.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40- The final play speaks volumes.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47- At half time, in Whangarei, - they trail 7-3.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57- Not the start the Lions wanted - to say the least.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01- They'll need to improve - in the second half...
0:20:01 > 0:20:04- ..if they want to start - with a victory.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06- The second half coming up on S4C.

0:20:18 > 0:20:19- Welcome back.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23- Plenty to discuss at half-time - for the Lions.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28- No changes, Gwyn, but they need - to change their attitude.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30- Should they have replaced players?
0:20:31 > 0:20:34- We will see players - coming off the bench soon.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37- Farrell will be coming on.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40- Where will he play? - At centre or fly-half.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44- More than that, we need to see - more energy in the Lions' play.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51- This man had a great first half - - Bryn Gatland, Warren's son.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54- Not the best kick to restart.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00- Stuart Hogg. A few mistakes - from him in the first half.
0:21:04 > 0:21:05- Best.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- Sexton. He looks for Seymour - and finds Seymour.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- Seymour almost broke out - of the tackle.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- Te'o. He looked dangerous - in the first half.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28- An early penalty for the Lions.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35- Keeping possession - and controlling the territory.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40- They haven't looked dangerous - with the ball in hand.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45- There was a chance - with Seymour coming inside Sexton.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49- Some talented players - don't look very comfortable.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53- They've been adopting - Warren Gatland's patterns so far.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57- Sexton hasn't looked his best
0:21:58 > 0:22:00- Johnny Sexton receiving treatment.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03- Greig Laidlaw - with the responsibility.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10- The first points - of the second half for the Lions.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19- They're within a point - 7-6.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22- Jonathan Sexton has been replaced.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24- Owen Farrell is on in his place.
0:22:25 > 0:22:26- Sexton's had a knock.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36- Owen Farrell is on - instead of Sexton.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41- Gatland hasn't gone - for the 10-12 axis in midfield...
0:22:42 > 0:22:44- ..with two footballers side by side.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- No, he's gone for - an outside-half and a centre.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53- Does that mean that either Farrell - or Sexton will be the test No.10?
0:22:56 > 0:22:59- Or will they work side by side - as many had forecast?
0:23:00 > 0:23:01- Alun Wyn Jones is up quickly.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04- He's making up for the knock he had.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10- Alun Wyn's weight - was important then.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15- He was up quickly and the Lions - will look to him as a leader.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19- Sinckler takes it quickly.
0:23:19 > 0:23:20- The Lions need a burst of energy.
0:23:21 > 0:23:22- He was isolated.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26- He won't be doing that again.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30- The plan is right, - the idea is right.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33- The Lions need to be fired up.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37- They're still trailing - after 50 minutes...
0:23:38 > 0:23:42- ..against the weakest opposition - they'll face in this tour.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47- Joseph was lurking, - looking for the interception.
0:23:48 > 0:23:49- Mako Vunipola.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54- They'll be looking for him - to have the ball in his hands.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03- Faletau. Farrell. - The ball and the kick.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08- It's well measured. Laulala.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13- Like his brother, he has quick feet.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17- Casey's his brother. The Barbarians - are playing with fire.
0:24:18 > 0:24:19- Matich. Under pressure.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24- Another effective tackle - from Alun Wyn.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28- He's starting to make an impression - around the contact area.
0:24:30 > 0:24:31- It misses touch.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37- He forgot the ball. Te'o.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45- Tadhg Furlong throws his weight - into the tackle area.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48- Faletau waits. Farrell waits.
0:24:49 > 0:24:50- Jamie George.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55- Vunipola. The replacements - combine in the front row.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59- They are very effective - with the ball in hand.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03- Moriarty. He's snagged by his shirt.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06- Down the blindside on the far side.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08- Watson's come close once.
0:25:09 > 0:25:10- Finally, he's scored.
0:25:12 > 0:25:13- their first try.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- It's been a long time coming - but they are ahead.
0:25:19 > 0:25:20- Owen Farrell has made a difference.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24- He's taken the ball flat, - he's thrown the right pass.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27- He brought Moriarty - in on a good line.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31- He did the same with Watson. - Moriarty broke through.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33- Finally, the gaps appeared.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37- Farrell drags the defenders in.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41- to deceive the defence.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02- Farrell has made a difference - since he came on as a replacement.
0:26:05 > 0:26:06- He hits it.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09- It squeezes through the post.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26- Here's a measure - of the Lions' organisation.
0:26:28 > 0:26:29- They haven't been together for long.
0:26:33 > 0:26:34- They continue with the drive, - that's the tactic.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36- A play to nothing here.
0:26:37 > 0:26:38- The penalty has come.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44- What will they do? Will they look - to secure the victory?
0:26:44 > 0:26:46- Do they head for the touchline?
0:26:48 > 0:26:52- No, well. Here's a measure - of the pressure on the Lions.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55- 15 minutes to go - and they're going for the posts...
0:26:56 > 0:26:57- ..against a semi-pro side.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01- These players - will be under pressure.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05- This isn't - what the majority expected.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08- They expected an easy tour opener.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18- Owen Farrell. Seven games - on the tour four years ago.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24- He's missed it - but this could cause chaos.
0:27:25 > 0:27:26- Where will the ball land?
0:27:28 > 0:27:30- It was knocked on in the end.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39- Inconsistency from Owen Farrell - and that's rather unusual.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56- A little unfair on the Lions.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03- They looked the stronger - of the two teams in the scrum.
0:28:12 > 0:28:13- He misses touch.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17- The Provincial Barbarians - look tired.
0:28:18 > 0:28:19- They've battled hard.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25- They're still in the game. - They trail by a converted score.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27- Farrell.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29- That speaks volumes...
0:28:29 > 0:28:33- ..they're going for the high kick - this late in the game.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36- It lands for Tipuric. - Tipuric to Webb.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38- Five metres from the try-line.
0:28:38 > 0:28:39- It's been knocked on.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45- We thought this would be the - perfect game for Webb and Tipuric...
0:28:46 > 0:28:47- ..in the final 20 minutes.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52- When things opened up, their natural - skills would come to the fore.
0:28:52 > 0:28:56- When an outside half uses the - Garryowen with 12 minutes to go...
0:28:57 > 0:29:00- ..you do wonder - about the attacking patterns.
0:29:00 > 0:29:04- More questions than answers - for the coaching team.
0:29:07 > 0:29:11- Alun Wyn Jones is leading the Lions - in Warburton's absence.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16- Nice to see Warburton back and fit - on the international stage.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20- This game isn't over - - it's worth noting that.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24- A converted try would make life - difficult for the Lions.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30- They can't start the tour - with a loss.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33- They won't expect to do that.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38- I think they've realised - the challenge they face...
0:29:39 > 0:29:41- ..over the next five weeks...
0:29:42 > 0:29:46- ..and the standard that's needed - to compete with the better teams.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51- Auckland Blues - await them on Wednesday.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55- It's a definite step up. - A provincial level.
0:29:59 > 0:30:00- Here's Laulala.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05- There are players at every level - in New Zealand...
0:30:05 > 0:30:07- ..who can play attractive rugby.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10- Tipuric is competitive - on the ground.
0:30:13 > 0:30:17- This game will have caused - Warren Gatland a few headaches.
0:30:19 > 0:30:23- The Provincial Barbarians playing - adventurous, attractive rugby.
0:30:29 > 0:30:30- Eight minutes to go.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33- Matich lays it back.
0:30:36 > 0:30:37- Renata is No.18.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43- Who would have thought that the - hosts would be going for victory...
0:30:44 > 0:30:46- ..in the final minutes of this game?
0:30:49 > 0:30:52- When they've attacked - with speed and agility...
0:30:53 > 0:30:56- ..it's highlighted the difference - between the sides.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02- The Lions will face teams - with even better skills and speed.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07- Judd is the replacement scrum half.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11- have used their bench as well.
0:31:12 > 0:31:13- Goodhue.
0:31:15 > 0:31:16- On they go.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24- The first knock-on by the Lions. - It's a scrum to the Barbarians.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28- Great defensive work from Tipuric.
0:31:29 > 0:31:30- Great counter-attacking.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34- in New Zealand.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41- Laulala has shown the power, - strength and vision...
0:31:41 > 0:31:43- ..to play this game.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48- Tipuric had his hands on the ball - and ripped it out.
0:31:54 > 0:31:58- If you think of the All Blacks - as the international side...
0:31:58 > 0:32:01- ..the Auckland Blues - are a provincial side...
0:32:01 > 0:32:03- ..much like the Scarlets...
0:32:04 > 0:32:08- ..this team is a combination - of players playing in a league...
0:32:10 > 0:32:12- ..similar to the Welsh Premiership.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15- They are challenging the Lions.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20- They have an opportunity to aim for
0:32:20 > 0:32:24- This could be a memorable, - historic victory against the Lions.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29- It would be a disastrous start - for the Lions.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38- This wasn't meant to happen.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47- It was meant to be - an easy opening game on paper.
0:32:50 > 0:32:54- Suddenly, they're on the back foot. - Vunipola steals it.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56- He's rescued the Lions.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00- Great from Vunipola. - Where did he come from?
0:33:00 > 0:33:02- Relief for the Lions.
0:33:03 > 0:33:04- Relief indeed.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08- Fair play, it was a surging maul.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16- This hasn't been the - Barbarians' strength tonight.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20- They have been far better - with the ball in hand.
0:33:20 > 0:33:24- I don't think it was the right idea - to keep the ball tight...
0:33:24 > 0:33:27- ..and attack the Lions' strength, - their pack.
0:33:27 > 0:33:28- The final minute.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32- Your impressions of the game - if the Lions scrape a win.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34- A disappointing performance.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38- The Lions have had to grind out - a win in their first game.
0:33:39 > 0:33:43- They're running down the clock - as they defend in their own half.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49- Has anyone impressed you?
0:33:50 > 0:33:53- Ben Te'o will be happy - with his performance.
0:33:56 > 0:33:57- Faletau has impressed too.
0:33:58 > 0:33:59- Alun Wyn has been strong.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02- That's your hooter now, time over.
0:34:02 > 0:34:03- That will be time.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12- That's the end of the game.
0:34:13 > 0:34:17- The Lions have won but as you - can see, from their faces...
0:34:17 > 0:34:20- ..it was hard work, - it wasn't pretty...
0:34:21 > 0:34:24- ..somehow they've escaped - with a victory.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27- A performance and a game to forget.
0:34:28 > 0:34:32- Plenty of hard work lies ahead - but they begin with a victory...
0:34:33 > 0:34:36- ..by 13 points to 7.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40- Well, the great escape - was completed but it was close.
0:34:41 > 0:34:45- The tour has started with a win - but what about the performance?
0:34:45 > 0:34:49- Daf and Deiniol put the game under - the microscope after the break.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55- Subtitles
0:34:57 > 0:34:58- Subtitles
0:34:59 > 0:35:00- Welcome back.
0:35:01 > 0:35:05- The Lions were victorious 13-7 - against the Provincial Barbarians.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09- They scraped a victory in the end - against a semi-pro side.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14- Here's the reaction - from New Zealand.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18- It was, you know, it was tough.
0:35:22 > 0:35:26- We created opportunities, - we need to be more clinical...
0:35:26 > 0:35:28- ..in terms of finishing that.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30- We got held up over the line - about four times.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34- If we're a bit more clinical - in finishing those off...
0:35:34 > 0:35:36- ..the game's reasonably comfortable.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38- It was tough for us.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42- Some positives - and still lots of things to work on.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46- They tested us. - It was a good first game to have.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49- You'd much - rather than a 50-point win.
0:35:50 > 0:35:55- As long as we edge forward in - each game, I'll be happy with that.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00- In a game situation, - getting used to it...
0:36:00 > 0:36:04- ..getting used to how - different players like to play.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06- We have to get on top of that.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09- It might not have been as good - as it could have been...
0:36:09 > 0:36:12- ..but we'll get better - with the games to come.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16- The concerns are being - more accurate and finishing.
0:36:17 > 0:36:21- The players will be disappointed - that they created chances.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24- The pressure in the game - we put on ourselves...
0:36:26 > 0:36:29- ..emanated from our own errors.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33- We weren't as accurate - as we could be.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36- We will get better from it.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39- That's the reaction - from New Zealand.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42- Let's turn to our experts - in the studio.
0:36:42 > 0:36:46- Not the best start, Dafydd. Who - was to blame for the performance?
0:36:47 > 0:36:48- Nerves, fatigue, pressure.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55- I think it's a combination - of factors.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59- This squad - have only just got together.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02- It was a victory, yes...
0:37:03 > 0:37:07- ..but Warren Gatland's game plan - needs to be learned...
0:37:07 > 0:37:10- struggled with it.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15- That played - into the Barbarians' hands...
0:37:16 > 0:37:18- ..and made it difficult - for the Lions.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20- We should praise the opposition.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24- They raised their game - knowing who they were up against.
0:37:26 > 0:37:31- They were youngsters but they have - played for the national U20 side.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36- They haven't quite made it - to provincial level.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41- This was a huge stage for them - and they did their best.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45- For the Lions, some of the players - grew into the shirt...
0:37:46 > 0:37:51- ..but some were evidently nervous - and mistakes crept into their game.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59- Some of those players - will be disappointed.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04- Dafydd talked about - Gatland's system.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07- That system was evident - in the play...
0:38:09 > 0:38:13- ..even though the players have - only been together for three weeks.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16- It's difficult - when you're learning a new system.
0:38:17 > 0:38:21- It's an easy system to play - but you have to do it effectively.
0:38:21 > 0:38:25- Very early on, we saw the system - we're used to with Wales.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28- Forward coming around the corner.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30- Alun Wyn Jones knows the system.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34- He's controlling the play here. - He's doing it effectively.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37- It's playing - into the Barbarians' hands.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40- It will also play - into the All Blacks' hands.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42- The backs are wider, - plenty of options...
0:38:43 > 0:38:46- ..but no, back into the strength - of the defence...
0:38:47 > 0:38:49- ..which is hard to break down.
0:38:51 > 0:38:55- Are we expecting more of this system - over the next five weeks?
0:38:56 > 0:38:59- I don't see the system - changing that much.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02- It works because it's effective.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05- The forwards didn't cross - the advantage line.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07- They should be clearing the rucks...
0:39:08 > 0:39:10- ..and giving the scrum-half - quick ball.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13- The tempo picked up - when Rhys Webb came on.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16- When the forwards carry the ball...
0:39:16 > 0:39:19- ..they need to cross - the advantage line.
0:39:19 > 0:39:23- Individuals will come into the - team, everyone will have a chance...
0:39:24 > 0:39:26- ..but who can - implement the system best?
0:39:27 > 0:39:30- The next fortnight - will see a lot of experiments.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33- If they want to succeed - against the All Blacks...
0:39:34 > 0:39:36- ..the defence needs to be - at its best.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42- How will Andy Farrell feel - after that performance?
0:39:43 > 0:39:45- The defence was very narrow.
0:39:51 > 0:39:55- Fair play to Bryn Gatland, that - was a perfect kick to the winger.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59- There are a lot of gaps - out wide here too.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06- It's one thing to do it here - against the Barbarians.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11- If they do this against the - All Blacks, they'll be in trouble.
0:40:12 > 0:40:16- You can defend narrowly but you - must make the correct decisions.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19- Laidlaw flies up - but doesn't complete the tackle.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22- If you fly up, - you must be accurate.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24- Dafydd?
0:40:25 > 0:40:28- One thing they must do - is stop the opposition.
0:40:29 > 0:40:33- Steve Hansen and his team - will have watched this.
0:40:33 > 0:40:37- The Lions must make sure they don't - give away cheap tries...
0:40:38 > 0:40:40- ..and provide more of a challenge.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44- That's what Warren Gatland - has done over the years.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47- It's a positive start, - it's a victory.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49- They must build on this.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52- Deiniol referred - to Bryn Gatland's kick.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55- He had a good game at outside half.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59- Johnny Sexton needed a good game - at outside-half...
0:40:59 > 0:41:02- ..after a difficult time - with Leinster.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04- He didn't have the best game.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07- He left the field - after 50 minutes...
0:41:07 > 0:41:12- ..and the course of the game changed - when Owen Farrell replaced him.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15- The timing was perfect - to bring Farrell on.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18- Sexton's had a difficult season.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20- He's had a few injuries.
0:41:20 > 0:41:24- We can see here - he playing flat - and he has little options.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29- He has to take the ball - into the tackle area.
0:41:31 > 0:41:35- He poses no threat which makes it - difficult for the crew outside him.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40- Again, the boys - who've played for Gatland...
0:41:42 > 0:41:44- ..try and power their way - over the line.
0:41:46 > 0:41:51- Sexton has been out of form - with Leinster over the past month.
0:41:51 > 0:41:55- Throwing him in and expecting him - to be a superstar is difficult.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57- He didn't look confident.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01- Farrell came on and played - a better game.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05- It'll be interesting to see - if he plays at 10 or 12...
0:42:05 > 0:42:07- ..for the rest of the tour.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10- Let's look at some of the positives.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17- ..and put their hands up - for test selection.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20- One of them was a Welshman, - Taulupe Faletau.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23- He was second choice - according to some...
0:42:24 > 0:42:28- ..but with Billy Vunipola injured, - he had a great game.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35- He was special. - Losing Vunipola was a big blow.
0:42:35 > 0:42:39- Faletau was excellent. - This should have been a try.
0:42:39 > 0:42:44- Had he not been back in defence, - turning the attacker over...
0:42:44 > 0:42:46- ..he would have scored the try.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48- Great defensive work.
0:42:50 > 0:42:54- He was one of the players who grew - into the shirt and performed well.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56- He did everything well.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59- He put them on the front foot.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03- His contribution in defence - and attack was excellent.
0:43:05 > 0:43:09- On the basis of this game, - he is the No.8 to take the team on.
0:43:10 > 0:43:12- He's a great athlete, - he can off-load.
0:43:14 > 0:43:17- He's a natural rugby player, - he can do everything.
0:43:18 > 0:43:21- He has fast feet and he's aware - of everything around him.
0:43:22 > 0:43:26- For me, he will definitely start - the Test matches...
0:43:26 > 0:43:29- ..and he'll be up - against Kieran Reed.
0:43:30 > 0:43:33- That will be some match up - and a challenge for both players.
0:43:34 > 0:43:37- Ben Te'o had a great game - in the centre.
0:43:39 > 0:43:41- The way he played this afternoon...
0:43:43 > 0:43:46- ..is that the type of play - to challenge New Zealand?
0:43:47 > 0:43:50- In terms of Gatland's plan, - he likes big centres.
0:43:53 > 0:43:55- He's played Jamie Roberts at 12.
0:43:56 > 0:43:59- He's been a big part - of his game plan.
0:43:59 > 0:44:01- We saw the same with Ben Te'o today.
0:44:02 > 0:44:05- He ran strongly - on the outside half's shoulder.
0:44:06 > 0:44:08- Will he challenge - the All Black midfield?
0:44:09 > 0:44:12- He's a big boy, he is strong, - he has good feet...
0:44:13 > 0:44:14- ..he can break a tackle.
0:44:17 > 0:44:20- This boy has talent - and he can break tackles.
0:44:22 > 0:44:25- Let's talk about another Welshman - who made his mark...
0:44:27 > 0:44:29- ..when the team was looking - for leadership.
0:44:30 > 0:44:32- Alun Wyn Jones was heroic - in the second half.
0:44:34 > 0:44:39- He's been there before and he's such - an important player for the Lions...
0:44:40 > 0:44:43- ..as he has been for Wales - over the years.
0:44:44 > 0:44:47- He'll be happy if he starts - the Test matches.
0:44:48 > 0:44:50- He throws himself into the tackle.
0:44:53 > 0:44:57- Without a doubt, if he stays fit, - he hasn't played a lot recently...
0:44:59 > 0:45:02- ..but he's an important player - for the Lions.
0:45:12 > 0:45:15- It's good to see him back - on the pitch having a good game.
0:45:15 > 0:45:17- There's little time - to lick the wounds.
0:45:17 > 0:45:19- The next game is approaching.
0:45:20 > 0:45:23- All roads lead to Auckland - for the second tour match...
0:45:23 > 0:45:26- ..as the Lions take on - the Blues in Eden Park.
0:45:26 > 0:45:30- One player who knows a lot - about the important of this visit...
0:45:31 > 0:45:34- ..is Welsh international - Gareth Anscombe.
0:45:34 > 0:45:38- He played for the side two years ago
0:45:39 > 0:45:42- The team visits - once every twelve years...
0:45:43 > 0:45:47- ..so certainly the Lions are - hugely respected in New Zealand.
0:45:48 > 0:45:52- The public will look forward - to the challenge they bring.
0:45:54 > 0:45:58- The Blues are a really big side, - particularly the backs.
0:45:59 > 0:46:03- If you give them any open ball, - they're a tough team to contain.
0:46:04 > 0:46:07- They won't want to be - kicking poorly to them.
0:46:09 > 0:46:13- For the Blues in the last 10 years, - that's when they light up.
0:46:14 > 0:46:17- That's when the crowd - will get behind them.
0:46:18 > 0:46:20- What about the tight schedule - on tour?
0:46:21 > 0:46:23- Do the Lions have any chance?
0:46:25 > 0:46:27- There's two ways of looking at it.
0:46:28 > 0:46:31- It will definitely give them - a bit of an edge...
0:46:31 > 0:46:33- ..before they play the All Blacks.
0:46:34 > 0:46:36- In those midweek fixtures...
0:46:37 > 0:46:41- ..those Super rugby sides will be - desperate to get one over them.
0:46:45 > 0:46:49- It will be a tough few weeks - but one that's exciting to watch.
0:46:53 > 0:46:57- Gareth Anscombe's looking forward - to the game on Wednesday.
0:46:58 > 0:47:00- Dafydd, - what can we expect from the team?
0:47:01 > 0:47:05- Warren Gatland has said he wants - to give everyone an opportunity.
0:47:06 > 0:47:09- Will we have the same game plan, - the same nervousness?
0:47:10 > 0:47:13- I don't know, - it's all down to the individual.
0:47:14 > 0:47:18- I'd expect new combinations - and see who works best together.
0:47:22 > 0:47:25- We might see Farrell - and Jonathan Davies in the centre.
0:47:26 > 0:47:29- I'd love to see that option - in midfield.
0:47:31 > 0:47:33- This is a very different challenge.
0:47:35 > 0:47:39- They have to maintain the momentum - and grow into the shirt.
0:47:39 > 0:47:41- That's the challenge - moving forward.
0:47:46 > 0:47:50- It's an opportunity to experiment - with different combinations.
0:47:50 > 0:47:53- Auckland Blues - will provide a challenge.
0:47:53 > 0:47:56- They've swept away everyone - in front of them in Super Rugby.
0:47:57 > 0:47:59- They have a dangerous set of backs.
0:48:00 > 0:48:04- I expect to see Sonny Bill Williams - taking on the Lions.
0:48:05 > 0:48:07- from the Lions...
0:48:08 > 0:48:11- ..but they have to start - putting their hands up...
0:48:12 > 0:48:15- ..and show they can perform - on this level.
0:48:15 > 0:48:18- Who knows, - we might see Bryn Gatland...
0:48:18 > 0:48:21- ..going head-to-head - with his father once again.
0:48:22 > 0:48:24- Thanks for now, Dafydd and Deiniol.
0:48:26 > 0:48:30- There's plenty of rugby to come - on S4C over the next week.
0:48:31 > 0:48:35- We're back with highlights - of the Lions' second game...
0:48:36 > 0:48:40- ..against the Auckland Blues - at 10.00pm on Wednesday night.
0:48:40 > 0:48:43- Before that, - tomorrow night at 5.15pm...
0:48:43 > 0:48:47- ..Wales take on England - in the U20 World Championships.
0:48:49 > 0:48:51- There's plenty to come.
0:48:53 > 0:48:57- We've learnt a lot during the - Lions' first game in New Zealand.
0:48:58 > 0:49:02- It's going to be some challenge - and it could be a long summer.
0:49:04 > 0:49:05- For now, cheerio.
0:49:51 > 0:49:52- S4C Subtitles by Adnod Cyf.
