He’s killing us with lineout gaps and skew throws

6-1

The answer to that is, rather obviously, don’t close the gap and throw it in straight.

Alright Rassie. Make a motion picture about it and save us the analysis.

I’ve lost my yellow pen, sorry.

BOMB SQUAAAAAAAD

Bongi is having a poor game and so are our loose trio.

FFS - rugby has broken out! Price and Russell making all the difference, playing flat and at pace and enabling Lions to get in behind the SA defence. Williams should be shot for not passing to Adams, it was a walk in - Hogg would have passed that. So far Lions have taken 3 balls in the air - Price, VdM and Williams one apiece. Difference is we are not letting them into areas where they can kick into our 22. Our back row too slow to the breakdown and this is going to get worse, breakdown is going to be crucial. Finn will make things happen but there will be the one cock up when he tries something outrageous. At least this is better to watch.

No locks on the bench. Don't think the subs are going to have the same impact.

That being said, Marx for Bongi and Van Staden for Wiese will be a MASSIVE improvement.

Jaysus Rassie. Get the fk off.

Make sure you get the bandy legs right

Impressive how the mist is hovering above but not coming down. Let's keep it there

Scrum dominance finally

Jones should've been off at half time. I know Mako's not a great scrummager, but Jones clearly wasn't right towards the end of the first half.

Sefrican ball from the rucks it way too slow.

Reinach too slow.

This is a joke. Bloody saffa down every 30 seconds.

Yeah sometimes you have to save the player from himself.

No. Kwagga. Jesus wept.

Faster ball would start stretching the lions and bring the gaps. They’re so slow that the lions can reset each time.

It's our locks going down...and we don't have subs.

This is going to be a problem...

That was not straight.

You'll be grand. The Lions discipline will go later.

WIll have to yes, but he is also knackered.

The Price box kick, Duhan tackle the receiver has been the most potent attacking weapon from the Lions on tour.

I’ve just seen VDM on screen. I’d completely forgotten he was playing.

Owens clearly being held by the boks that had left the maul, which is why there was the crappy pass.

Good pressure

Finn is in trouble here.

Child sized Kolbi milking this.

Edit: he wore one in the chops so I’ll let him away with it.

Nah. Kolbi was slipping/ducking.

He has dropped a lot of height. As has Finn to make the tackle.

Yellow, not red

Red down to yellow

Just a pen then

Finn was ducking down, but Colby was on his knees; Pen is the right call

Yep. Nothing more than that.

Pen is right. Not much force, but he still gets him round the chops.

Fair call

AWJ just needed to shut his face there.

I think that is fair. The freeze frame showed Kolbe effectively on his knee and Finn was bent making the tackle.

Ryanal handled that really well. I kind of like how he never sounds particularly animated by anything.

Pollard kicking like an Aussie novice here…
