The Lions don’t have any real attack. Howley cannot coach a back line. Murray’s kicks worked well at the start of the game but it’s tough to keep that accuracy up. If the forward pack had got on top it would have worked.

Furlong was disappointing, we should have taken their scrum.

I don’t know how to fix the structure of the backs off set plays. Only T’eo seems to work as a bosher right now.
We have lots of attacking potential but it came from individual brilliance rather than from any planning.
If Gregor Townsend was involved we might be able to harness it in a more coherent manner.
As it is, Howley doesn’t appear to have much knowledge of how to do so.
Indeed, it’s quite remarkable that the Lions craved a loose game today after we couldn’t get on top in the pack.
Wales attacking game isn’t particularly ambitious as it is. Was no chance the Lions were going to stray from that by much

Which is an indictment of him when you have players of the quality of Williams, Davies, North, Webb and Bale.

His misuse of Bale has been criminal

Ridiculous that Bale was playing a friendly association football match back home in Cardiff while the Loins were playing the New Zealand Provincial Barbarians.

Ger Gilroy on Newstalk here talking about Aaron Smith’s “beautiful soft hands.”
he also said that we saw the evolution of the sort during that game
its a terrible indictment of sexton and the loins that Te’o who only took the game up in his 20s was their best player
The mask has slipped with @gilgamboa big time today
Home unions ?
O Driscoll got injured vs NZ and last time nearly cost the loins the series vs oz
How is he a loins great

Jonathan Davies was the Lions best player by some distance, mate.
Ben Te’o also played rugby union as a junior.
@Little_Lord_Fauntleroy never allows a small inconvenience like hard facts to get in the way.
On the day the British Lions played at Eden Park, some sad news as J.S Faull (Swansea & Wales) who played on the last British Lions side to win at Eden Park in 1959 has died.
