Blues vs The British & Irish Lions

Another disappointing performance for the Lions seems them lose to the Blues 22-16. The Lions were on the back foot early on as the Blues opened the scoring just seven minutes in through the young winger Rieko Ioane. Lions almost immediately hit back through a try from CJ Stander after they executed a clean rolling mall coming from a line out. A penalty from Halfpenny kept the scoreboard ticking over and the Lions looked to have secured the lead going into the break until a late try from crowd favourite Sonny Bill Williams gave the Blues a 12-10 lead going into the break. The second half saw the game slow slightly with the Lions looking likely to win it going into the last 10 minutes with a one point lead. The Blues refused to lie down and scored a typical Super 15 try which had two outrageously good offloads in the build up. For the Lions this result is worrying and with a match against the Crusaders on Saturday every Lions supporter will be hoping for a big turn around.
