Frustrating half. Clearly on top but only 4pts up. Should have kicked at least one of the penalties. Finn Russell looks good though. #LionsRugby
It's a try for gods sake. Get on with it. These games have been so slow. #LionsRugby
This is why you take the points in such a close game ffs. It's not "brave" it's daft. #LionsRugby
Such poor decision making in such a tight game from the Lions. Really disappointing. It was a poor series if we're honest. Attritional, slow, endless stoppages and niggles. Shame after such a great six nations. #LionsRugby

FINAL OLYMPICS THREAD

It's all over (bar the water polo final which doesn't affect the top ten of the medal table). I feared the lack of spectators would seriously diminsh these games but I've barely felt it. They've been as enjoyable as ever. A stats thread to finish up...
With Jason Kenny and Lauren Price's golds, GB finish 4th in the medal table, tied on medals with London and just 2 behind Rio. The US just got past China to take top spot.
It really is an incredible achievement. No country has ever managed to maintain it's medal total after a home games for one further Olympics, let alone two.

It's the 4th games in a row GB has finished in the top 4. Between 1972 and 1996 we only made the top ten once.

OLYMPICS LIVE THREAD - DAY 15

Great start to the last live thread with Galal Yafai winning men's Fly GOLD - that's gold number 19 and medal 59.
Tom Daley has had a brilliant first two dives in the 10m final. Can he keep it going? Also keeping an eye on the cycling with Katy Marchant going in the women's sprint.
Third dive over 90 for Daley out of 3.... halfway through and he's just leading the Chinese in 1st place.

OLYMPIC PREVIEW - THE FINAL WEEKEND

So we come to the end of the road. This is the last preview as Sunday is a short day so I'll do the whole weekend together. Race for 4th place still very close and can GB match their London medal total?
First up tomorrow at 6am we have Galal Yafai going for gold in the men's fly boxing final. Then at 7am Tom Daley goes for another medal - assuming he's got through the semi-final at 2am.
Then back to the veledrome where Katy Marchant will be going in the next round of the sprint (7.30am); Jason Kenny and Jack Carlin start in the Keirin (7.48am) and we get the men's version of the madison with omnium gold winner Matt Walls and Ethan Hayter (8.55am).

OLYMPICS LIVE THREAD - DAY 14

Overnight GB picked up their 52nd medal as the hockey team won a thrilling bronze medal match against India 4-3. And Lauren Price won her boxing SF so will go into the gold medal match on Sunday.
Currently keeping an eye on the 10m diving qualifier with Tom Daley and Noah Williams and the cycling sprint qualifying with Katy Marchant.
Katy Marchant qualifies 8th for the next sprint round. The top 17 riders all beat the previous Olympic Record!

OLYMPICS PREVIEW THREAD - DAY 14

Only three days left but some of my favourite events over the next few days and an extremely tight medal race to settle...
A quiet night - just the bronze medal women's hockey match between GB and India at 2.30am for anyone on the night shift. But a busy morning.
At 6am Lauren Price goes in her boxing semi-final looking to get to the Sunday final that is one of the last events of the game. She is favourite for gold.

OLYMPIC LIVE THREAD - DAY 13

Only one medal overnight for GB with Liam Heath getting a bronze (medal 49) in the 200m sprint canoe. Galal Yafai also just won his SF so will have a shot a fly boxing gold in a few days.
In the athletics Dina was back in the relay and the British women broke the national record in the 4x100 to qualify comfortably for the final. Andrew Pozzi was 7th in the 110h and shockingly Grant Holloway didn't win - US still haven't won a men's track gold medal.
Currently diving going on with two Brits but neither look likely to challenge for the medals. I'm about to start watching the new design omnium which is 4 endurance races in 1 day. Annoyingly Aus won two surprise golds overnight so we need one of our own....
