South Africa vs British and Irish Lions - Test 2

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

50/50 for me seen them given and not.

Personally don't think it was though

 

[g6mcg]

Think he just about keeps it but tbh not that sure on how the role works

 

[UlsterRugby2012]

Wasn't the best angle the one from the other side?

They were determined not to show that angle

 

[Rinkadink]

Probably second time they've lied or been misled by TV director about angles.

 

[anderton46]

Hard to argue as you see those ones given either way. Personally think it wasn't but not a controversial decision. just poor from Lions leading up to that.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

I think these tests have proven the lions and gatland did not have any extra attack hidden.

Saving it for next week innit

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Lions should go with Williams and Adams next week

By the law book it's a clear try. It's never knocked on (ball never leaves hand and then touches ground) and there is downward pressure. Remember there is two ways to score a try: having control of ball and it touching the ground or pressing down on a loose ball.

 

[UlsterRugby2012]

We're in full Gatland mode now boys

One has been disparagng about the Scots the whole your

I realise that having a pop at Hogg is a sport here, But these are taking the ****. If you want to blame the try on someone it isn't Hogg

Now Price is on there are more Scots to blame

You're the only one who thinks there is a problem here and are clearly not watching the game. I'd recommend you stick to the waters now

It's not over yet. Lions have been poor in the second half. It does feel like every small thing is going in SA's favour (I'm talking about the bounce of the ball etc. not refereeing).

 

[Wasps92]

Jamie George next week please.

I think it was more his choice of bench that showed that. The lack of x factor from the bench is telling. Think he had the likes of Daly/Farrell there to sure up a game already won, not expecting to have to come from behind.

You're forgetting ball was in hand then came out, the key is the grounding coming from arm after the ball was hand. Its not like someone kicking then grounding with forearm.

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

If we kick all possession away how are we supposed to score?

 

[Dean Cooperfield-West]

Why can't the Lions catch the high ball?

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

It's not Owens fault that Lawes randomly dropped the ball from that lineout

 

[anderton46]

Why can't the Lions catch the high ball?

It was well documented they spent the majority of the week practicing booting the ball away, however they forgot to train the catching aspect. Classic error.
