    So basically four nations with a combined population of what 70m got together to try to beat a nation of about 4.5m where there are way more sheep than people... and got their arses kicked?

    Maybe they should lower their sights and aim to try to beat a previously undiscovered pygmy tribe in the deepest, darkest Amazon. They'd have to watch out for the spear tackles mind.

    Compare the Lions number 3 passing where there wasn't anything on to the All Black forward who picked the ball off his toes to score the first try - the level of all round skill is just a little bit greater in New Zealand.

    Other things to notice were that it could have been 13-10 going into the break, Lions gave away too many penalties again and, that for all the negativety of Warren-ball, holding onto the egg at crucial points above searching for a pass is key.

    Lions weren't too far away and yet a million miles.

    In the home nation countries we play many more sports than they do in NZ who play mainly egg in the winter and cricket in the summer so they have an advantage there, plus they get players from the south sea islands

    So basically... it's kinda embarassing rather than totally embarassing then.
