First red NZ have received in the professional game, if I'm not mistaken.

Last all black red card was 19647.

Nineteen sixty fourseven.

If the Lions don't win this they shouldn't bother turning up for the last test.

I love Leinster and I couldn't be happier that Jordie Barrett has signed with them on a short term deal.

It's going to happen isn't it? They don't look like they're a man up at the minute, not convincing me they'll take advantage.

I think that describes Laidlaw and Seymour's tour so far.

The next tour will revamped as "New Zealand vs The British and Irish and French and Sergio Parisse Lions"

Also, interesting call by Hansen to take off a flanker for a replacement midfielder. I would've thought on a proper Wellington day like this (i.e. pissing rain sideways), winning the forward battle would be more important. Especially since Gatland hasn't gone with his usual wrecking-ball midfield combination ...

Ahhh yes, the old "Sexton does a loop" move, looks like Gatland was biding his time before setting the Lions loose :butt:

Ball distribution is looking a lot better with Sexton and Farrell playing together. Lions will still Scotland the poo poo out of this somehow but at least they'll not look truly terrible doing it.

1967, not 64 when Meads was sent off for breaking Frank Laidlaw's jaw when the All Blacks played Scotland in Edinburgh. The story I've heard is that Laidlaw kept punching him when Meads was going up for a lineout, so Meads decided to slap him across the face.

Prior to that was Cyril Brownlie in 1925 against England, although I'm not sure what got him sent off. It's also the first ever sending off in test rugby history.

This is the first time an actual red card was brandished against All Black in a test match.

Dagg has taken his share for the Highlanders (and 2 penalties and 1 conversion for the ABs), and Aaron Smith has a conversion against Australia to his name at the test level. Other than that, Cruden.

Seems like Barrett is a little off his game, would be worth letting Dagg take them or is the drop off in success rate even worse?

ABs should be up by 18 if Barrett could nail his penalties. He's still great ball in hand but his kicking has been pretty bad.
