Jesus, Greenwood, Etzebeth might be a big lad but if he's got no base to brace from of course Itoje will give him a shove.

Posted: **Sat Jul 31, 2021 4:56 pm**

Waiting for the replays, but that looked ugly from Faf on Murray.

Posted: **Sat Jul 31, 2021 4:56 pm**

Do not think that was intentional by Faf...but he might get a card

Posted: **Sat Jul 31, 2021 4:56 pm**

That’s high from De Klerk?

Posted: **Sat Jul 31, 2021 4:56 pm**

Murray should be off for a HIA too.

Been very disappointing so far. Maybe the expectations were unrealistic, but he's had zero impact when carrying the ball.

Posted: **Sat Jul 31, 2021 4:57 pm**

Lost it?

Posted: **Sat Jul 31, 2021 4:57 pm**

Hell of a catch and possible try by Henshaw...

Posted: **Sat Jul 31, 2021 4:57 pm**

No try for me.

Posted: **Sat Jul 31, 2021 4:57 pm**

Hands up everyone who's surprised that after Rassie's meltdown and attacks on the referees rather than looking at south Africa's ill discipline, SA's discipline is somehow even worse this week

Posted: **Sat Jul 31, 2021 4:58 pm**

At some point the message about NOT TACKLING HIGH might sink in to some of these thickies.

Posted: **Sat Jul 31, 2021 4:58 pm**

Not a try but Faf YC

Posted: **Sat Jul 31, 2021 4:59 pm**

No try. Yellow to Faf.

Posted: **Sat Jul 31, 2021 4:59 pm**

FAO Sandstorm for that bit of defence!

Faf pretty lucky rather than by skill there.

Posted: **Sat Jul 31, 2021 4:59 pm**

agree on the no try...but how can you skip reviewing FAF

Posted: **Sat Jul 31, 2021 4:59 pm**

I'm getting fed up with this being about ref decisions. Please can we see some rugby

Posted: **Sat Jul 31, 2021 4:59 pm**

Have to say the only replay we have seen of the Faf one suggests it requires a closer look.

Posted: **Sat Jul 31, 2021 5:00 pm**

Seems like absolute horseshit over the Faf 'tackle'.

Posted: **Sat Jul 31, 2021 5:00 pm**

That’s a yellow there for Fluff De Klerk?

Posted: **Sat Jul 31, 2021 5:00 pm**

Special type of thick by Etzebet to drop that maul.

Worst half of Lions rugby ever.

Faf gets away again

Yeah. They went through that quickly.

Posted: **Sat Jul 31, 2021 5:00 pm**

That was monumentally stupid by Etzebeth.

Posted: **Sat Jul 31, 2021 5:01 pm**

Just completely ignore Faf smashing into Murray then.

Posted: **Sat Jul 31, 2021 5:01 pm**

SA producers not keen on showing anything more on that Faf tackle

He's spent the week practicing holding people and smiling at them, I think

His tackle technique is a menace to anyone around his height. I get that he's often the shortest bloke in a contest, but needs to learn to adjust. Or not if officials continue to not to sanction him properly...

Possibly a French production team?

Anyway for something billed as the pinnacle of the sport, this has been fucking cancerous so far

Posted: **Sat Jul 31, 2021 5:03 pm**

Both sides determined to play no rugby.

I don’t think it’s been that bad. It’s building pressure and one of these teams is going to buckle badly just after half time.

The only thing keeping it together tonight is the pitch.
