But there were eleven Lions debutants and few, if any, will be selected for the first test with the All Blacks. That's the only consolation I can think of at the moment...
its not going to get any easier this weekend, with the Crusaders having being the best of the Super rugby teams this year, and with all there all blacks still, could get nasty,
I was really disappointed with the way Wales played during the Six Nations, but the lions look to be a pretty solid squad so fingers crossed they can make something happen next Saturday.

1st test should be awesome, the all blacks looked good against Samoa,
the 1st test should be awesome on saturday,
The lions fans would have been 40 percent of the crowd and were great, awesome to be at the game
There was a stat shown during the game to suggest the ABs' had something like 73% posession in the second half!
I couldn't watch any more after Ioane scored his second try and turned it off. That's something I very rarely do, if ever!
your right about Jones, he was tired very early on, and he was not alone, i thought the All Blacks would go on in the last 20 when the reserves come on, but it happened even earlier, not sure what the Lions can do to solve that issue for next week,

the lions fans have been awesome, had a beer with a heap of them over the time, i think the fans that come out make these Lions tours so special
Pit Row
i hate french refs at the best of times, but he was consistent and thats all you can ask, but the TMO needs to stay out of so much stuff i reckon, both yellow cards would not have been a few years ago, and the penalty for the neck role late against the hurricanes was very soft,
i think that Vunipola was lucky not to get the same tho, can't believe he did not get sited but O'Brian did, who rightfully got off, it was a penalty max i think,
the last ref's call was unusual but that did not cost the game, the All Blacks made too many mistakes and did not finish well enough to deserve to win,
well done to the Lions, they started poorly but Gatland had a plan, stuck to it, and nearly did the impossible, i am pretty sure he will be the next all blacks coach,
The Lions supporters were awesome again, i remember them in 2005 as well, we need to learn how to chant, its embarrassing that they can make eden park sound like a lions home ground,
