Yep, the weather played a big part because the lions were dominant at the set piece and the Maoris were struggling to take clean catches under the high ball. There's still plenty of things to sort out (the lack of support runners for T'eo was criminal) but they'll be feeling much better about themselves. It's interesting to note that we've only played well when Murray has been at 9, even today when he came off we fell apart. I'd say that right now he's the most critical player on the tour, not because he's great but because Laidlaw and Webb are so poor.
