A red card, a yellow card, a citing and an unpleasant scuffle in the tunnel after the game - the second test could easily be interpreted as wild, reckless and spiteful with bad blood simmering ahead of the decider.
That wouldn't be All Blacks coach Steve Hansen's take on where things are at. Not even close. The test was physical, overly so at times but then, that's what happens when two teams give everything they have got.
The All Blacks coach has no sense of injustice that the Lions escaped censure at the time for Sean O'Brien's reckless challenge. Nor does he fear that the game got out of hand.
It was a physical test, the pressure was intense and both teams made errors of a disciplinary nature.
Sonny Bill Williams made a mistake with his timing and technique. Mako Vunipola made a poor decision in taking out Beauden Barrett late and O'Brien, cited for a challenge on Waisake Naholo that met the red card threshold, would be in the same camp as Williams - guilty of being clumsy, reckless and ill-advised.
As for the push and shove after the game, Kyle Sinckler said something Hansen suspects the big prop will wish he hadn't. There was a reaction from a few All Blacks and that was that. It blew up and it blew over.
