A lot of people are cringing at the Lions and the All Blacks lifting the cup together

They’re going home with half a trophy each.

IN A THRILLING third and final test, the British & Irish Lions have drawn against New Zealand ‘s All Blacks.

The 15-15 draw meant that both (or neither, if you’re a glass half-empty kind of person) teams won the series trophy.

In true fashion of good sportsmanship, they shared the cup. In true fashion of the internet, people cringed.

Some people believe that sports should be a fight to the death.

What’s the point otherwise?

But some fans really enjoyed watching the two teams share the trophy.
