Los All Blacks si ponen toda
su calidad en el primer test match en éste amanecer del sábado ante los Leones
Británicos e Irlandeses, son favoritos
para ganar por 10 puntos en el templo del Eden Park de Auckland, según los
boomakers.
Nueva Zelanda y los Leones
británicos e irlandeses chocan en una primera confrontación conducidos por dos
entrenadores neozelandeses como Steve Hansen y Warren Gatland y que le dan suma
seriedad y emoción poniendo de relieve los europeos que pueden ser un contendiente
serio en los tres partidos.
Cuando Nueva Zelanda dejó de
lado la goleada a Samoa de 78-0 el viernes pasado, se creía que había barrida de
la serie por 3-0, pero ante la sólida demostración sólida de los Leones el sábado,
contra los Maoríes y frente a los Chiefs
hay otro indicador de mejor performance para juzgar a los Leones.
Hoy Warren Gatland pone en los Lions a 7 ingleses, 4 galeses y 4
irlandeses en su quince inicial, mientras que Steve Hansen replica en los All
Blacks, con 7 Crusaders, 3 Blues, 2
Chiefs, 2 Highlanders, y 1 Hurricanes.
Defensivamente, los Lions aparecen
muy confiados y Gatland muestra que quieren jugar también, con Liam Williams
preferido sobre Leigh Halfpenny, mientras que Elliot Daly es recompensado por
su forma con un comienzo por delante de George North como wing.
Y Hansen sabe del desafío que
les espera, por eso apuesta a Beauden Barrett, Ben Smith, Israel Dagg y Kieran
Read. El pronóstico para Auckland y alrededores dice que hay predicción de
lluvia durante los próximos dos días, por lo que se espera patadas tácticas del
medio scrum irlandés Conor Murray.

All Blacks against Lions are
favorites in first clash
The All Blacks put all their quality
in first test match this dawn of
Saturday against British and Irish
Lions, are favorites to win by 10 points at temple of Eden Park in Auckland, according to
the boomakers.
New
Zealand and British and Irish Lions clash in a first confrontation led by two
New Zealand coaches like Steve Hansen and Warren Gatland and who give it
seriousness and excitement by highlighting Europeans who can be a serious
contender in all three matches.
When New Zealand set aside a 78-0 rout against Samoa last Friday, it was believed to have swept the series 3-0, but given the strong solid showing of Lions on Saturday, against Maori s and against Chiefs, is another benchmark for judging Lions.
Today Warren Gatland puts 7 Englishmen, 4 Welshmen and 4 Irishmen in their opening fifteen, while Steve Hansen replicates in All Blacks with 7 Crusaders, 3 Blues, 2 Chiefs, 2 Highlanders, and 1 Hurricanes.
Defensively, the Lions appear very confident and Gatland shows they want to play too, with Liam Williams preferred over Leigh Halfpenny, while Elliot Daly is rewarded for his form with a start ahead of George North as a wing.
And Hansen knows the challenge that awaits them, that is why he bets on Beauden Barrett, Ben Smith, Israel Dagg and Kieran Read. The forecast for Auckland and surrounding areas is predicted to rain over the next two days, which is expected to be expected from the Irish scrum half Conor Murray.
