Halfpenny had them on BBQ. Head n shoulders Man of the Series.
Leigh Halfpenny now a Lions lege.
Corbersiero was a bludgeon in the scrum, Alexander got absolutely owned. Deans hooked him once he got a yellow.
Got to say when O'Connor scored just before half time and then they scored a pen just after I got very nervous, but Halfpenny cut them down with his assists for both 2nd half tries.


Corbersiero was a funny one, turned round to a mate yesterday and said how big a difference he made. It was huge. Grinning he said, 'The best thing about it is that come the Six Nations he'll be up against Adam Jones... who'll smash him!' Which is very true and a bit disheartening for the Englishman!

All in all it was an complete team performance and nobody saw it coming.
Going in one more round when you don’t think you can – that’s what makes all the difference in your life.

No other outcome would've sufficed.
Lose series and that'd be 20 years since winning a series going down to New Zealand. Franchise would've been in serious jeopardy as the chances are they'd lose against the All Blacks. Yeah there's no such thing as a sure bet but, even looking ahead 4 years their chances are slim.
At least they've avoided that problem with this success.
