Well the All Blacks played well I thought considering the conditions, the tight 5 were outstanding not conceding any ball at the breakdown and winning what must be a record amount of lineouts against the throw, scrum time looked a bit more even but I'd say the AB's had the better of it in the second half.

O'Driscoll dislocated his shoulder in the first minute and had to be carried off which wouldn't of helped the Lions campaign although you would think a team of this calibre would overcome something like this. Poor effort all round including Wilkinson who's position must now be in some doubt or is Sir Clive wanting to drive the last nail in his coffin, we shall see.

Stand out try to the AB's with Tana Umaga breaking the line and delivering a legendary pass which looked like about 25m to Sivivatu on the wing who finished in style.

Final score 21-3 To NZ.
