Big calls went to SA last week and the loss of flaf will make a difference, Bl need to come out fighting.
As hosts SA have been `fucking shit, no wonder the country is on the brink of collapse, the pitch looks like a farmers field, god knows how there haven't been any covid cases for the Lions, but that is down to the Lions staff, left to the dirty SA cunts the place would be overrun, time to reconsider another tour to SA play it in a decent country.

I really hate that, I was once walking along the road in Edinburgh and someone in an open top car threw their detritus out on to the road, they were stopped at the traffic lights a few meters further on so me and my mate picked up their food packaging and whatever else was there and flung it back on the driver's and passenger's lap.

It's different in places like central London, you chuck stuff on the ground at the major train stations because there are no bins and someone is there permanently going around picking up after people, there haven't been bins in these places for a long time now.

edit, though I did see a clear plastic bin in Kings Cross a couple of weeks ago

So, take your rubbish home with you - there's simply no excuse for littering.

Then don't.

You really don't need to advertise it. Are you expecting 4 pages of South African's asking you to please wake up early to watch us play.

No, just some decent rugby. Clearly you have lower expectations. Enjoy.

The only Lions team to play with any flair was the one from the 1970's. You're making up stories. Enjoy your sleep boet.

None of which excuses the fact the rugby's been deathly dull. Which is a shame, as you'd hope both sides would be keen on providing a spectacle given all the fucking circumstances. But no...

I was majorly underwhelmed by the Lions' 2nd test performance, surely they can't be that bad again :yawn:

Unlike others I don't celebrate the clusterfuck that Rassie has created and the heap of shit this tournament has turned into. It just feels like we are very sore losers and ungracious winners....
With Rassie about to be reviewed after the weekend how will you feel about his actions if we lose the series...is he still God and " behind you we stand Rassie ".....or will he take the brunt of it...or Nienaber.....asking because I am dreading the backlash from South African supporters if we lose and the Refgate thats going to ensue......

I am praying like vok that we win and escape another week of drama....

Sorry boet. Not sure if you've heard yet in Hobbiton, but there is a pandemic going on. Huge disruptions and kinda hard to prepare a team for sparkling champagne rugby. Those are the fucking circumstances in our country right now. Over 70 000 dead and a whole lot of misery. So take your misery elsewhere. We're just happy to have some test rugby to watch.

Mate, neither the Boks nor Gatland need a pandemic as an excuse to play one dimensional, kick chase rugby. Let's not pretend either side would be chucking it around with gay abandon if covid wasn't around.

That's fair. All that can be said had been by the time last weekend was over, to still be going on about how dull the fare has been is dull in and of itself.
