As British and Irish Lions registered their second victory in the ongoing New Zealand tour with a 3-12 triumph over Crusaders, we take a look at few of the key points on the encounter at AMI Stadium.

TWEET OF THE MATCH

"How do you not review that kick?? They even ask tmo's who farted in the scrum these days #LionsNZ2017" - Former Saracens loose-forward Jacques Burger questions why the referee did not consult the TMO to determine whether Farrell's early second-half penalty went through the posts.

MOMENT OF THE MATCH

Farrell thought he had booted the Lions into a 12-3 lead early in the second half with a simple kick. But he was left bemused by the touch judges keeping their flags down despite the ball appearing to go over the post. Thankfully for the tourists it did not prove costly.

STAR MAN

Farrell. The England international looks to have sealed a jersey for the first Test following a commanding performance. A reassuring presence for Gatland's team.

GATLAND GETS RESPONSE

Head coach Gatland demanded a performance following the midweek defeat to the Blues and the Lions duly delivered. The impressive display at a high intensity bodes well for the rest of the tour. The only thing lacking was cutting edge in attack.
