The Springboks vs British & Irish Lions 2nd Test Thread

[Sards]

How to come back from this.

[ScarfaceClaw]

Anything other than red is a bottle job.

Would sir prefer red, white or rose?

Christ almighty. That’s a big red that’s he’s shat the bed on.

[Blake]

Pathetic. Kolbe's so, so fortunate.

Biggar's dive is pretty ugly...

Based on his comments right at the start to the captains Le Roux is incredibly lucky not to go. Credibility gone.

Curry lucky also. He escalated the situation.

[Big D]

That sound is a ref in a second test in SA v BIL series for a second time in a row bottling a SA red.

Gouger in ‘09?

Yeah.

Ach probably keeps the game a contest so there is that.

Have you any peach juice?

[And 1 guest]

I'd love to see some rugby

[ScarfaceClaw]

Biggar is a diving wanker. His bullshit antics are a blight on the game.

[Marylandolorian]

Kolbe is a VERY lucky boy.

No he isn't, to be fair the 9 jumps in his face

[sockwithaticket]

Pathetic. Kolbe's so, so fortunate.

Curry lucky also. He escalated the situation.

I wouldn't complain, but he was right there from the start, Le Roux came steaming in from miles away.

[Torquemada 1420]

As an aside, when SA had 15 against 14, the first thing Pollard did was to hoof the ball away.

[Hal Jordan]

Schalk Burger looks a lot better now he's admitted his baldness and shaved his head.

[GogLais]

So a fall that’s could break your arm isn’t so bad then?

[ScarfaceClaw]

Cowan Dickie isn’t even close to standing behind the line at that throw to the line out.

[Blake]

It feels weird typing this, but Kolisi has been pretty good out there today. He is everywhere.

No idea as a captain.

[Sandstorm]

Kolbe and VDM both have let the situation get on top of them. Hopefully the rest will calm them both the fuck down!

[Big D]

Another thing there is little excuse get get wrong. Unlike ruck offences there is a fucking line that shows the ref.

[ScarfaceClaw]

Get the subs off the pitch.

[tcc_dc]

great steal from Itoje....

[sockwithaticket]

Something a lot of hookers do now. Much like being offside at the kick off, it's something the officials seem to have given up policing.

Schnapps is the best we can do. I can do naught but apologise.

[Sandstorm]

Ref said he landed on his back, so he didn’t see the replay too clearly.

[JM2K6]

Biggar is a diving wanker. His bullshit antics are a blight on the game.

Someone steams in, barges him in the back, catching him unawares and causing his face to smash against a teammate, and that's a dive?

Do you go to the same opticians as Ben "he landed on his back" O'Keefe?

[Torquemada 1420]

great steal from Itoje....

Not really. He illegally jumped across the lineout. But he got away with it.

I believe they've changed the law on this

[Blake]

Lions playing really well. Making tackles, contesting lineouts, forcing Bok penalties. Impressive display so far.

Boks need to get their act in order quick.

Yep, the hooker runs in and elbows him in the back. Biggar may have milked it a bit, but he was clearly fouled.

He was pretty quick to get up when the ref ignored him. Got the arms stretched outwide in indignation.

[Big D]

I think Hogg should have been better there but the Lions are rotten at getting back to support the person returning.

[Hal Jordan]

Someone is going to take a swing at the opposition in a minute, both teams are wound tighter than a g string.

[ScarfaceClaw]

Hmmm. Bin the Ruff. He was off his feet for a lot of that.

[Torquemada 1420]

Again. Just aimlessly hoof the ball away. Got lucky with the pen. So boring.

[Sards]

Surprised to see him going for posts

[ScarfaceClaw]

There’s only 30 minutes on the clock….

You are playing a set piece to set piece game centred on hoofing the ball away so
- missing pens
- not catching high balls
- losing lineouts
might have a bit of a drag on the success of that route.

[Sards]

Wiese is a huge step-down from Vermeulen

[Big D]

What a ridiculous line out call.

[ScarfaceClaw]

What a ridiculous line out call.

Wait. Why not take the points.

[Sards]

Itoje is owning Eben

[Big D]

That's a high tackle too.
