They seemed to invite wave after wave of attack, without having the confidence to really get into them and run them ragged.
Double world champions, unbeaten at Eden park for how long?, i didn't think it was a particularly good lions performance, they certainly seemed to lack the want to take it to the AB's, and it was a missed opportunity, but to get it to the level they did after a grueling 5 week schedule I thought a very good achievement, however, they will not go down in folklaw as the 1971 Lions. I only know one fan who travelled, i'll be interested to get his take on the tour when I see him next.
