Debate will rage about the circumstances surrounding the outcome but the result will be the same: the scene is set for an epic Eden Park showdown. Farrell made amends for his missed Faletau conversion, and "Lions, Lions" rang out like never before on this tour. Cast your mind back one week and we can now safely say their forward pack that turned up at Eden Park were imposters. Slow ball allows the defence to reset and saw many All Blacks ball carriers take the ball from a standing start. Unlike Eden Park the All Blacks were not allowed to get a roll on or dictate that lethal pace.
