Think it would be the ideal time bring Teo on, but I'm not sure who should go off....

Edit: One things for sure, both teams will be bitching about the ref later.

That's a bad precedent to set.

e: If the Lions win this, the NH press will be fellating Gatland for years to come regardless of how bad the Lions have played.

I'm genuinely slightly sad that Gatland is going to get away with his bizarre selection

I'm hoping it's a secret attempt to torpedo NZ rugby if they lump for him as head coach if he wins the series.

Hopefully the fact that he selected a side that only beat 14 All Blacks off the back of a dodgy penalty isn't lost in the celebrations.

This team isn't winning a 3rd test.

Didn't The Lions pin-point this game (and the game against The Chiefs) as their best chance of winning, specifically because of Garces' refereeing ethos?

Kieran Read: so if I jump when I get tackled, we get a penalty, right?

I hope every broadcast had this spectacular moment.

E: will the brit papers be talking about how great the officiating was tomorrow? That was the worst I've seen in years.

Just tackling a man in the air is against the rules no matter what, that's it. He said due to the fact the lions player jumped and faumuina was committed he was gracious enough to only rule a penalty
