"Further humiliation" would have been more accurate as a 6pts win against part-timers IS humiliating. Sort of expected the kiwis to match the Lions on skills but certainly not at the set piece which they did both at scrumtime & lineout.

Haha it sure wasn't RM! Didn't think the crème de la crème of British and Irish rugby would struggle (even jet-lagged, tired or whatever they want to call it) against semi-pros who'd been together for a week or so.
Massive fan of Duffie and the Ioane bros here, can't wait for Wednesday's game vs Blues. Lions better turn up though or this could get really ugly.
