[QUOTE="Ludders93, post: 810274, member: 74066"] The Lions pack were pretty committed, and actually dominant in the game for spells. Some handling mistakes, and didn't get the maul drive going, 1 bad scrum at a crucial time but definitely got parity with the Canes. Jantjies was so poor he didn't give the Lions a chance to win that game. From the first kickoff, to his goal-kicking, to his pass to Mapoe that led to the Jane try, to his general unwillingness to attack the line, to his knock-ons, he was absolutely terrible. Being outdived by Barrett summed up the lack of heart and effort he put in. Skosan and Mapoe were dreadful as well, Van Rensburg and Combrink played well, De Klerk was a mixed bag, but at least he tried. This is why I raise the race issue, it's not an attempt to be controversial and I know it's a touchy subject, but the 3 mixed race Lions backs were absolutely terrible, is it just a coincidence. Add in how poor Garth April was for the Sharks, with JP Pietersen not far behind as the second worst player on the pitch, and there's a trend emerging. [/QUOTE]
