1st TEST: South Africa v Lions

[Hall]

Except he seems to be hurt...

 

[Hall]

Tom Croft with an illegal tackle on Du Preez, Steyn knocks the penalty over.

13-0.

 

[An Tarbh]

this has the look of a massacre about it.

 

[Hall]

Wallace dumped into touch, O'Connell wins the Boks lineout... Croft scores!!!!

YEAAAH!!!

Great play from Roberts and O'Driscoll in the build up!

 

[An Tarbh]

didn't see that coming, stealing the lineout, nice break from Roberts, well supported by O'Driscoll and good finish from Croft.

 

[An Tarbh]

even for Steyn that was a tad ambitious.

 

[Hall]

Steyn with another penalty... misses.

 

[An Tarbh]

thought that was a harsh one on Paulie, Steyn misses though, shame about the obstruction from Byrne earlier.

 

[Hall]

Better scrum from the Lions as well.

 

[An Tarbh]

f*** Tommy that was the wrong option. Too many mistakes across the board from the Lions.

 

[An Tarbh]

we should have been given the advantage there, scrum is **** all use to us today.

Kearney on for Byrne, ****.

 

[An Tarbh]

and that proves it, yet again Vickery with problems, thanks ref.

 

[An Tarbh]

19-7 HT.

Quality performance from the Boks, dominating the set piece, clinical when it comes to taking their chances, if the Lions can stabilise the set-piece they might have a chance of getting back into this but it's hard to see the Boks taking their foot off the pedal now.

 

[SaintsFan_Schweinsteiger_Webby]

Didn't realise looseheads were allowed to drive up and in every scrum. Must be a new ELV that hasn't reached this hemisphere yet.

 

[An Tarbh]

they're ramping it up now, going for the try with the lineout and taking the chance, quality play from the rolling maul.

 

[Jer1cho]

Lions just aren't strong enough it seems. Physically i mean.

 

[Hall]

Game over.

No try for Mike Phillips.

 

[Incredible Schalk]

A massacre as a predicted B)

 

[An Tarbh]

that Bowe break sums it up, been a major problem for the Lions and they're still to address it, no decent support play and now Rees has apparently punched someone on the ground, twat.

 

[An Tarbh]

that was quality defence from the Boks, didn't help that nobody was coming onto the ball at pace either but there you go.
