New Zealand v British and Irish Lions - Analysis and Player Ratings

As British and Irish Lions bounced back from their Auckland defeat with a 21-24 win in Wellington on Saturday, we take a look at few of the key points and the player rankings.

TWEET OF THE MATCH

"Wow - amazing scenes here once again - brilliant for Lions and Gatland and everyone here, incredible result" - Sir Clive Woodward (@CliveWoodward) is delighted with the win.

MOMENT OF THE MATCH

Owen Farrell blasted the winning penalty home with ease, after Charlie Faumuina was perhaps harshly penalised for tackling Kyle Sinckler in the air after the Lions prop had jumped.

STAR MAN

Taulupe Faletau, British and Irish Lions: the Wales number eight again showed his class in an accurate showing, capping a fine night with an expertly-taken try. Just the calm head the Lions needed at the helm of their pack.

TOP MARKS JEROME GARCES

Referee Garces awarded just New Zealand's third-ever Test match red card in dismissing Sonny Bill Williams for what he termed a "deliberate" shoulder charge to Anthony Watson's head. The Frenchman played no favourites when reaching for red, in applying the rules to the letter of the law.
