Lions tight 5 ok. Everyone else being outplayed

Scrum is OK but tight 5 doing naff all else.

Schoolboy error by Itoje.

Why are the lions doing one man tight carries. Surely you wait for your mate to pat you on the arse before carrying those.

Murray's slow play must be an act. No international scrummy can be that slow.

Peak Christian Wade or Cheslin Kolbe?


Regardless, Eddie Jones wouldn't pick either of them.

Boks against dirttrackers.

If that is a forward then it is a red.

It is shoulder to arm then head to head due to his actions.

Actually, the new approach we were showing in the 6n, showed what Youngs could do. Let him be that fast instinctive player. Then the shit passes aren't so bad because they're at least rushed, and he's dangerous. Youngs gets slower when he's told to think about it a bit, but tell him to go fast, especially with Ford there, and he can go at speed.

Peyper is a nutter,

Faf goes in for a shoulder charge and in the process headbutts Navidi. That's a red according to the frame work.

World Rugby announced their 6 Pillars today one of which was about their commitment to combatting head injuries. What's the point in that sort of press release if the refs don't back it up on the pitch? Too many incidents recently where what had been a red is being talked down to a yellow for no apparent reason leaving the citing commissioners to pick up the slack.

Barnes thinks Jaco is taking shite

Didn't touch his head apparently....

Take the scrum fuck nuckles.

TMO and ref are bent as fuck. That's as clear a head on head as you'll see.

SA down to 13

2 yellows for SA.

Lions might get a score here….

Maybe move it out 1?

Take a tap instead of a scrum and then owens runs side ways into contact.

Yes. But glad he wasn’t sent off. Rugby is fucked at the moment

Hold my champagne...

Why the fuck are they persisting with the pick and go.

LRZ the only Lion worth a f#K so far tonight

Owens and Farrell have captained internationally and neither think to say to Murray "here lad take a scrum".

Bad luck Lions.

How are the Lions so impotent?

No chance the Lions win this unless SA go down to 12 or 13 for the whole game. It's like watching a bunch of dopey sheep against a battalion of well rested hippos.

Poor leadership there

Gatland innit.

If I'd have been the boks there I'd have kicked to touch, taken the lineout and maul, just try and eat up a minute or two before kicking it out.

Murray and Farrell utterly shit beyond shit, waste of a shirt.

That is dreadful from the Lions, down to 13 v 15, you take ascrum, either you score directly from it or you get acres of space out wide.

Shite decision making

Bromide in their Castle lager.

Well that was pish.

Well at least they should hopefully have shelved the repeat quick taps by the test series. Silver linings and all that.

Completely brain dead.

The South African ref and the South African TMO and the South African TV director weren't interested in showing or watching any replays were they.

Funny that.

Was replayed twice including once later in the game and was fine.

That didn't even click for me, I was just getting annoyed by the poor support work in so many of the pick and goes. But yeah, 13 vs 15, one of them being the scrum half, take the scrum and let Faletau carry it, ready for the pop.

I like Dweba. Big test coming up with 13 men.

It’s pretty poor from the Lions. In saying that it is the first test they have had. The disappointing bit is that no one seems to have stepped up to calm it all and control things.

The captain certainly isn’t going to
