Bulloch confident Lions can bounce back

FOUR days on and the sour taste of defeat at the hands of the New Zealand Maori still lingers in the mouths of the British & Irish Lions.

Their 19-13 loss in Hamilton on Saturday, the first reverse in game three of this 11-match tour to New Zealand, has been dissected and discussed by coaches, analysts, journalists and fans over clipboards, videos, notebooks and pint glasses from Inverness to Invercargill and most are still none the wiser.

So best leave it to a player to cut through the technospeak, the guff and the pub talk and get straight to the point.
