South Africa vs British & Irish Lions - Test 1

[pagliaccio_euforico]

There are rules for a reason around which members in either camp can be in what area of the pitch and there are traditional means to get your message onto the pitch. Dressing up as a waterboy so you can get on the pitch may not be the most egregious act ever committed on a rugby pitch I admit - but I also think it's lame and unnecessary

Or we could actually enforce the laws about when water boys are allowed on the pitch so they can’t act as coaches who talk to the players every five minutes.

Groundhog is out the club.
No one refer to him by his SA name

C'mon bro let's have a braii and chat this thru man

FFS Farrell, please pass the ball

You could be waiting a long long time.

 

[Jer1cho]

Nothing went our way in the big moments.

 

[Ferrari333SP]

Lions playing smart this 2nd half

Listen Gatlandhog you have had too many chances already

Yep, to be fair this is the bigger problem!

FFS Farrell, please pass the ball

Ahhh the feeling of misery loving company

 

[ncurd]

Nothing went our way in the big moments.

I don't think the Boks have played well this half at all. The Watson call was bullshirt though.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Yess.. At least he delivers off the tee.

 

[Dean Cooperfield-West]

Lions by 5*

*assuming good execution

I really think Gatland and Townsend are about to pull a blinder and surprise us all. The blinder relies on basic ball skills, i.e. no knock ons and bad passes

Told you so!!!

 

[Rinkadink]

Well then!

 

[ncurd]

I'm genuinely shocked the Boks just didn't turn up that half and got completely bossed around.

 

[Jer1cho]

Well done Lions. They were better second half. They should have been 10 minutes a man down but that's how it goes.

 

[HenryChinaski]

Nothing went our way in the big moments.

I think that's fair - but has to happen sometimes

 

[Groundhog]

My top 3 interests:
1. The Irish and British Lions
2. An abstinence only lifestyle.
3. God

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Wahooo!!!

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

again. Boks made a mistake by automatically changing the front row. Mako and beirne are dynamic but I have comfort knowing that awj will start all three tests.

They looked what they were, rusty.

We rode our luck a bit, but the history books will show a win.

Told you Lawes at 6 was a good idea.....

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Odd game both teams didn't look great.
Good win for the Lions though.

SA
- Need to look at the back IMO either Wiese at 8 or Kolisi at 8 with Van Staden at 7.

Lions
- IDK but the backline looks so poor, Harris should be brought in at 13 and Adams on the wing for DVDM who did really nothing today.
