Anticipation is building!!!!
Suspect an elevated response from the "wounded" Kiwis, so a win for the Lions would be truly historic.

Much as I'm an admirer of SB Williams's sleight of hand a glance through some youtube clips of his on-field manoeuvres shows him using the shoulder-charge technique quite liberally - maybe something which is not frowned upon so much in the Antipodes...

They take no prisoners in that part of the world!
SB is awesome, BUT, I think the contest with Teo last week, had led to some frustration.
Watson was in a bit of a jam at the time and the instinct would have been hit him hard to put the Lions on the back foot, but in that split second, SB just went over the top as Watson was wrapped up by another Kiwi.
Looking forward to Saturday morning, I suspect the Lions will start well, but the Kiwis will hold them at bay and then put the squeeze on them.
If we are within 7 points again, with 20 to go, we might just do it, as we then throw everything at it?????

The series drawn. 
Another great Test, but a slightly disappointing outcome all round for both sides.
The way Steve Hanson has conducted himself in the press conferences has been top class.
Long may the Lions continue, despite misguided threats from some quarters.
