South Africa vs British & Irish Lions - Test 1

Boks by 15ish - I think it will start close, but SA to get away near the end with 3 or 4 penalties.
 
Maybe... Idk I've a feeling this is Lions game to lose. Think we're putting the books on a pedestal, especially as its tough to be metronomic and error free when you haven't played a lot of rugby together. I think first half is crucial, if lions can get any sort of a lead it changes everything
 
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
 
I think Boks by 9, Expecting the game to be close for 60min then the boks bench to create a few penalties or tries in the last 20min to get the win
 
Now, would be a good time for "Men of Harlech"
 
Using an SA based stream, interested to see if their commentary is any better.
 
Boks by 20… kolbe to further cement himself as the best player in the world

nbc got the right to the games and then put it on streaming cause all their channels have the olympics right now. ESPN at least put all the games on cable for the New Zealand tour
