I can't remember. Lions tours of the past. Did the boks play against the Lions for their unions?

Not in 2009

Some did in 1997. James Small played for WP 2 weeks before the first Test, but no Bokke were available the following week for N Transvaal. Maybe that’s why they won.

Yourself. There is a difference between a Bull and a Shark. Bulls have balls.

It's not beyond the realms of possibility.

Perhaps they should give this match test status.

That sound more positive. Hope the Sharks make a good game.

It’s 6pm in the UK, presumably to roll into the footy…

Positive lateral flow test in the Lions management team. Two other members of management and two players identified as close contacts, whole group PCR tested, awaiting results. Suggestion the kickoff v Sharks has been pushed back an hour so the tests can come back.

I guess that is the advantage of having no fans. They could move the game to tomorrow if they really wanted to.

Silver lining if I've ever seen one.

If this game is cancelled, I assume Sharks will be awarded a 28-0 victory?

Asking for a friend.

I think the whole tour is heading rapidly down the the toilet, which would be a shame. One for the record books but not in a good way

Posted: **Wed Jul 07, 2021 1:12 pm**

Yes it is bloody awful news that I don't see improving. Feel for the Lions players who have put so much hard work to get to this point. Even if the "tour" continues, they'll only remember it for Covid tests and hotel rooms.

So they'll only award the points scored in the first half then?
