HOW THE MAD LAST 17 MINUTES UNFOLDED

-

63 MIN: HURRICANES 17 LIONS 31

With the Lions up by 14 points, George North juggles Jonathan Joseph’s grubber kick and touches down for another try. But it is rightly chalked off as his foot was in touch. Poor finish — no try.

65 MIN: HURRICANES 17 LIONS 31

The Lions are given a penalty, but as the referee blows, Iain Henderson lifts Jordie Barrett and dumps him on his shoulders. After a look on the big screen, the Ulsterman is sinbinned.

67 MIN: HURRICANES 24 LIONS 31

From the resulting penalty, the ball is flung wide to Wes Goosen, who scores. Barrett converts.

71 MIN: HURRICANES 31 LIONS 31

The Hurricanes are over again as Vaea Fifita dives through a pile of bodies to go between the sticks. Barrett converts and we’re level.

80 MIN: HURRICANES 31 LIONS 31

The hooter signals time up, but Dan Biggar wins the ball for the Lions and they have a Hail Mary shot at glory. The tourists are 40 metres out and Greig Laidlaw feeds Biggar in the pocket, but his drop-goal attempt is woeful and the ball bounces dead, meaning it’s a draw.
