REPLAY: All Blacks v British & Irish Lions Second Test (2005)

I worked in a bar in Wellington 2005, the Lions - think it went --- they played our Wgtn Lions, then went down and played Canterbury maybe?, then back to Wgtn for the test, anyway that week or so inbetween, half of the 50 thousand Lions supporters just stayed in Wgtn for that week and waited for the test, they were just awesome people, all of them, they certainly left an impression on us. Our dollar was worth peanuts to them, we had the biggest week in history and it wasn't the same for a while after they all left town. Shout out to the Lions Supporters 2005 - not forgotten 🖤🖤🖤

[@SDCLFC1]

What bar? That tour really made Wellington hospo for the next 5-10 years - a lot of high quality bars and restaurants came off the back off that.

[@mikedaley4558]

Kiwi living in Australia. Went over for holiday to visit family and friends at the time of that Lions tour. Second Test unreal. Lions played well for first 10 minutes, but the game goes for 80 minutes! Forwards dominated rest of match giving D Carter the opportunity to play the best game I've seen a 10 play. There has been some great 10s, but I think he's the best. This game showed his complete skill sets. Over shadowed his opposite. Great game.

[@LearnToFly182]

That NZ team was maybe the best I had seen, special group. It was tough tour as a Lions fan but I get goosebumps every time I rewatch the opening 5 minutes of this Test Match. The Haka, the sheer noise of the Lions fans, the kick off and tempo from Lions in the opening 5 was extraordinary. We then see one of the magical performances of a number 10 in Dan Carter as he takes the series away from the Lions- fabulous stuff.

That's right, stomps on the head and punches flying and the ref awards a scrum. It's legendary haha!

I agree, everyone is jumping wild in every ruck... I was thinking 'man it's so much faster than today, no much time spended in scrum and penalties and stuff but it's quite violent rugby and the ref blow 1 foul every 10 fouls.

[@Nineteenseventy2]

Went to the game, Had to go into a draw for the tickets, got two as I was a Referee and a player. Sat on the halfway line the side Carter scored that amazing try, Had a Welsh guy next to us, sang the whole time, was just happy to be there. I did get offered 1 thousand "quid" as I was walking up to the gates with my old man, But it was my turn to take my dad to the lions, he took me in 93' Wellington was a great game. Pity about that clean out. ( wasn't a tackle ) The atmosphere in town after was incredible. Everyone happy. Great memories, great game, great venue.

[@richardmatatahi4563]

Watched again, everybody in that All Black Team had their moments and did their job and Black jersey proud. After that match there was only one world best number 10 on the planet. All Blacks would go on and win the 3rd Test at Eden Park, Auckland 38-19 for a clean sweep 3-0. Series The British Irish Lions would return 12 yrs later and draw the 2017 New Zealand tour 1-all.

So, it’s clearly just the dashed damned luck of the draw with Carter avoiding those incidents and so governing the way it all turned out. Poor old unlucky Wilko.

Maugers kicking in the first half was a masterclass. McCaw got bossed for about 50 mins, but his stamina in the last 49 was incredible. He got is pie when those big Lions forwards were just broken physically. You have to love how many players got tickled up on the wrong side of the ruck too. I’m sure if this was played under today’s rules there were at least 5 red cards.

I reckon there would be less red cards than you'd expect, because every breakdown would get blown up for some other infringement before most of the nasty stuff could happen. Personally I find being so used to modern rugby makes watching the breakdown kinda jarring in these games. The players got away with so much shit back then.

16:01 Pivotal moment where Paul O Connell absolutely loses the plot when we (as a lions fan) have the ball 8 meters out at 7-0 up. New Zealand recovered and the rest is history. Not saying we would have won if not for that btw. Just we had made such a bright start considering how badly the first test had gone. If we could have got a second try at that stage we would have stood in much better stead. The better team won by an absolute mile in this series
