Excited to see what Watson can do now. Not the most auspicious start though.

Our bad fielding of the high kicks is what is costing us dearly now.

We were so solid in the first half :-(

He's doing his job really well if he's even getting under the fans foreskins.
Yeah, he's a super player but I have an irrational and unfounded dislike of him that goes beyond the usual scrum half standard.
Yeah, I expect scrum half’s to be dicks. Faf is a dick and a cunt at the same time, which shouldn’t be possible.
Lucky bastard can go fuck himself

Particularly after Curry put in a decent set of carries

And don’t forget there will be some armbands. Probably.
Armbands are always a nice touch

If that wasn't not a knock on it was a penalty try.

Well done the pair of you, managed to conspire to strip the high ball off yourselves after you won it!

If Owens had been on from the start the lions scrum would have been a lot more solid.
And are there two g’s in Bugger Off?

Not for the 1st time. Communication between Lions players under high ball has been garbage.

Squeaky bum time now.

I was hoping we'd have a bigger lead and that the Lions' surge would only start at 60mins.

We are in trouble boys.

Yeah, but I think it’s Owens and Furlong that combine in a way that LCD and Furlong don’t somehow.

Boks need to start smashing again, they're very passive.

Their kicking has gone to pot as well.

We just need to field the high kicks. That's where it's all going to shit.

I couldn't understand what he was doing. Running full steam and then chucking it at a static Watson.

Yellow for Watson?

Didn't land on his head or shoulder, so I'd be amazed if it was red. Tipping makes it illegal, not a straight red.

Yellow based on the call from last week's Wales - Argetina game.
