The Springboks vs British & Irish Lions 1st Test Thread

[Big D]

Think Duhan did everything he was asked to really.

[tc27]

Pleasantly surpised by Makos scrummaging

Also willing to eat crow about Lawes in the second half

[handyman]

Sub TH from SA has been angling in every time. Good technical pen from Mako amplifying it for the ref.

Malherbe. A RWC gold medallist. Fok lads, do you watch rugby?

[Chilli]

Junkies on?

Lions by 10.

[Torquemada 1420]

Woohoo. Junkies on

I’m watching him angle in right now.

[Blake]

HIA for ball to the face?

Falcons are always hilarious.

[Sards]

Junkies on?

Lions by 10.

Vok......

[Big D]

Panic stations.

[Hal Jordan]

VILLAGE ALL ROUND!

[Insane_Homer]

if that's not a try, it a pen try and yellow for the pull back

[Enzedder]

If this isn't a try - it will be a PT and a card

[Biffer]

That’s on Farrell, the prick.

[tc27]

Ahh please noo...such weak shit

[Sandstorm]

Every time these soccer fools actually have to pass and catch the ball, it’s a circus!!

Hang your heads in shame both coaches

[handyman]

Marx weirdly anonomous?

[Torquemada 1420]

OMG. Farrell. WTF have you done?

[ScarfaceClaw]

Knock on against green.

[Big D]

Thats a knock on. But fuck knows with the TMO.

[Chilli]

Forward by Kolbe

[Enzedder]

Lucky!!

[tc27]

Forward from Kolbe

[Chilli]

Thanks a knock on. But fuck knows with the TMO.

What did he decide ?

[Biffer]

Thought Williams called himself the bomb defuser?

[ScarfaceClaw]

Lions have ridden their luck in this game.

[Big D]

Thanks a knock on. But fuck knows with the TMO.

What did he decide ?

Knock on.

[handyman]

Have to feel for the officials, every call a big one.

Have they been fair, that's up for debate.

[Biffer]

Thanks a knock on. But fuck knows with the TMO.

What did he decide ?

Ref told him he’d seen enough before the TMO said anything.

[Torquemada 1420]

Has a Lion caught a single aerial ball today?

[tc27]

Faz and Daly saved major blushes by Kolbe.

[Hal Jordan]

Daly owes Kolbe several pints.

[Blake]

Dammit. We really needed that try.

Right call though. Jonker has been good today.

[tc27]

Lions have ridden their luck in this game.

A clear knock on created the situation

[TheNatalShark]

Kitshoff and Malherbe a bit anonymous compared to Nche and Nyakane

In the loose, yes, but in the scrum they've been an improvement.

They haven't had a ton of chances in the loose though. We've been playing on the back foot for 20 minutes because of our inability to field high balls.

I thought starting props made their presence in defense. Yes the scrums much more steady, although neither winning or losing more so little in that. I can imagine we were banking on Marx and Kitshoff having a big loose impact.

[sorCrer]

Kolisis not talking

[Big D]

Hogg was lucky for that non try shovelling shite on.

What is Farrell doing.

[JM2K6]

We had Watson in acres of space there. FFS.

Warburton singing Lawes' praises. Fair play, he grew into this one.

[Uncle fester]

Blake
You're far too even handed for online discourse.

[Big D]

Shut up Warburton. Murray and Farrell have been worse than those they replaced.

[Sandstorm]

Kolis is not playing
