The All Blacks, a phrase that might be construed as racist in any other arena, beat the British and Irish Lions. Is that so surprising ?
The All Blacks are the best national side in the world and have been for most of the time since the game of rugby was invented; for some reason it's become their national sport. As a small country, they've adopted it as their way of making an impression on the rest of the world and, by heavens, have they achieved their goal. It has become the equivalent of a religion and the traditional 'Haka' that is performed before every one of their matches is one of the great spectacles of sport.
The All Blacks did dominate the match but their dominance found resolution on only a couple of occasions; the Lions defended brilliantly and even scored one of the 'great tries' in reply, begun by Liam Williams and ended by Sean O'Brien. Nonetheless, the Lions lost, but they will have
learned much in defeat.
This ain't over yet !!!
