It's strange that Reinach leapfrogged Jantjies, but maybe that's because Jantjies is better of the bench.

Probably injured in an off the ball incident with one of the filthy poms.

As an England fan I am in shock to see him dropped after a poor performance.

He normally gets made the starting 10.

JM2K6 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 03, 2021 2:25 pm Sinckler cleared.

Lions coach Warren Gatland was sufficiently confident Sinckler would be cleared that he included the Bristol forward among his replacements for the third Test when he named the matchday 23 on Tuesday.

The England tighthead prop had been cited on Sunday after an ill-tempered second Test amid allegations that he bit Springboks lock Franco Mostert midway through the second half.

A panel consisting of three Australians, Adam Casselden and former internationals David Croft and John Langford, dismissed the citing for an act of foul play.

They reached the decision after hearing evidence from Sinckler, Mostert and the second Test match officials, led by New Zealand referee Ben O'Keeffe.

I was more surprised that nothing else was looked at - there’s plenty in there that would have been picked up after a GP game

Why would he feel like a prat. He was clearly bitten. There just obviously isn't video footage.

It might be raining. Lions already favorates, that will fit them even more.

Reinach will box kick the shit out of the ball, as instructed. Trust he can do that. Other than that, he has been in top form lately. Looking forward to seeing him start.
In place of who should van Staden have started?
Why are the Lions favorites?
And my weather report says sunny weather the whole week until sunday?!

IIRC, Reinach's box kicks are rubbish. All he can do is run very fast on two quite short legs.
