The Most Controversial Lions Tour Ever? All Blacks v Lions 2017

The 2017 British & Irish Lions tour to New Zealand produced one of rugby’s most dramatic series, highlighted by Sonny Bill Williams receiving only the third red card in All Blacks history during the second Test in Wellington. The Lions showed remarkable resilience throughout the series, culminating in a historic final Test at Eden Park that featured a controversial ending involving an accidental offside decision. The series marked several milestones, including being the first drawn series between the teams and showcasing breakthrough performances from young All Blacks stars Rieko Ioane, Beauden Barrett, and Ngani Laumape.
