    The longer this goes on, the more dangerous they look. Sooner or later they're going to get the man over outside.

    LOL. Don't like the look of this - Warburton has been immense.

    WHAT a game. Halfpenny shouldn't be down about that, he's been superb. Gotta love having a clincher next week!

    What a great tense game. Thought they deserved it. Lined up for a cracking decider

    Must just be me. I thought it was dull as ditchwater apart from ten minutes in the second half and the end. Other than that it was just attritional stuff. Tense yes. Exciting no.

    Was a good effort - just unlucky.

    Going to be so tight again next week you feel.

    The lions were 'outdogged' .. not a hint of a try scoring chance for them .. 1/2Penny and a kamikaze defence kept them in the game until the puff ran out .. Next Saturday in Sydney? .. I am having a fiver on Ozzie by 10-15 points

    Sam Warburton definitely out of the third Test.

    Brian O'Driscoll skippers the side.

    Yesterday he was being reported as taking over the captaincy - but he doesn't even make the bench today?

    Good to see Tuilagi belatedly getting into the matchday squad and the Lions pack looks to be the strongest that they have selected all tour. There are plenty of ball carrying options there, but if they play as they did at Melbourne then it's pointless picking them if they aren't going to make any line breaks.

    I like the look of that side. We need to play a bit more Rugby and he has picked a side capable of doing it.

    Gatland's gone "all-in" with his selection. Seriously thought BOD would start with Roberts on the bench but the coaches must've seen in training that Manu and Roberts are back on it!

    With an awesome and mobile pack, it should be a barmstorming decider. COYL!!!!

    Cannot belief Croft isn't even in the 23. Absolutely ridiculous decision. Huge call on BOD too, hasn't had his best tour but he's a leader and a big game player.
