The Springboks vs British & Irish Lions 3rd Test Thread

[ScarfaceClaw]

Jaysus fucking Christ Janties. A tap kick with 2 minutes to go and the series tied. Brainless fuckwit.

[Margin__Walker]

Saved by the Ref

[Raggs]

Boks so lucky the ref called that back.

What was he fucking thinking.

Ran into Lions defence. Trying to win another 10m

[ScarfaceClaw]

This is where you want Sexton

Why

10 minutes of injury time.

300+ phases of play after the 80 minutes, & an immaculate drop goal

[ScarfaceClaw]

Wow. Sefrican penalty. Pulling scrum down.

[sockwithaticket]

Oh Mako...

[Big D]

Just a shame we waited 170min on rugby to have a bit of a go in this series.

[Biffer]

Ah fuck.

That was a better game than the previous two combined. The difference when you actually try to attack, by playing a fly half who can unpick a defence.

[Big D]

Well done to SA.

[tc27]

Well thats a bit shit

[Sandstorm]

Mako penalised at the last scrum. Most people thought he’d get found out much earlier in the series.

[Tichtheid]

Congratulations Springboks

[sockwithaticket]

Ah fuck.

Agreed. It's a shame to go down, but it's better to go down swinging than playing anti-rugby.

It wasn't the play style that let the Lions down, just too many bad pens and not converting opportunities when they presented themselves.

[Biffer]

Should also say well done Saffers.

[Dinsdale Piranha]

I'm in favour of charging Gatland and Erasmus with bringing the game in to disrepute for serving up this shite. It reminds me why I gave up attending international rugby.

[FalseBayFC]

Oh what a shitty win. I'll take it but that was ugly. Hard luck Lions fans. Its been a forgettable series.

[Openside]

Well done SA - what might have been had Russell been fit from the get go.

[Sandstorm]

Ah fuck.

Russell was lovely to watch.

Yeah, if anything it’s the playing style in the first two tests that needs criticised, particularly last week.

[Sards]

Much better game . Much Much better.


Thanks for coming BILs

[Tichtheid]

Ah fuck.

When you see what Smith did in his one game and what Finn did today, you have to wonder what these long term professional head coaches are paid to do.

[Ymx]

Boks so lucky the ref called that back.

What was he fucking thinking.

That was absolutely mental !

Lucky he didn’t play from the mark.

[Slick]

Lost that.

Well done and congratulations Sards, Sandy, Oom and a couple of others, you guys have kept my faith in rugby through this shitshow.

Kids bath and bed then a few more thoughts I’m sure….

Yeah, there’s a few columnists etc who need to eat some crow quite frankly.

[handyman]

Of all the posters saying they are going to give this test a miss, all of them are on here now.

Your point being?

19-16

[Ymx]

125 mins - 10 for half

115

Nearly 60 mins each half.

[Margin__Walker]

Congrats Saffers.

Lions needed to build that lead in the first half when they were on top. 4 points never felt like enough

[Big D]

Two critical errors in scoring positions in the 1st half cost the Lions.

[Yr Alban]

Missed the game as I am still at work. Looks like I missed the best of the 3. Well done SA, but at least the Lions went down fighting.

[Uncle fester]

Well done saffers
Better team over the three tests.
See ye in a fortnight.

Cheers Slick. Despite some diabolically embarrassing crap from both coaches, some horrible reffing and minging anti-rugby box-kicking for 3 weeks…..it’s been a tough and enjoyable series with great respect and good banter from all the Bordies.

[Blackmac]

Congratulations to the SA lads.

Finn Russell's cameo the only bright spot in the whole tour. Appalling stuff and shameful advert for rugby.

[handyman]

Not always the best rugby and a lot of kak of the pitch, but ending in a riveting final. Russell could have killed us if he played more than 1 test.

Thanks BIL, South Africa very lucky.

[Blake]

Glad we managed to win the series, but really wasn't pretty.
Series won't be remembered for anything positive which is sad.

Atmosphere was shit.
Animosity was shit.
Pitch was shit.
Execution by both teams in all 3 tests was shit.

Glad it's over. As amazing as Lions Tours are, I'm glad it's over.
There is just so much riding on these matches that nobody wants to risk much.
It's pure percentage rugby.

Hopefully now the Boks can build again. We have many gaps in our game and didn't really focus on any of them for the last 18 months.

Also, Jasper Wiese can fuck right off.
