SA have sorta lost the run of themselves. Embrassing stuff coming out. Doubt your man lost the plot. We all love to send refs a collection of decisions we don't agreed with. Most sensible people don't. Brings the South African Management into focus. Surprised world Rugby hasn't took action to address.

brutal no continuity game stopping every 2 minutes

South Africa got a big break there with the Am try. I don't think he grounded it with his hand, he grounded it with his forearm.

Didn't think it would be given. Maybe a bit of pressure applied to the officials during the week has its merits.

The  lions miss not having Rees Zammit in the team at this moment in time imho.

I see the GAA are running the Limerick all Ireland hurling semi final in direct competition with the Lions decider 5 o clock on saturday. That is Limerick rugby city. I will of course watch both at the same time on my various devices.

And I was castigated for saying the lions was nothing but a jolly.

Bio-secure bubbles away from their friends & family, very limited social interactions, it's winter, daily professional training, they're getting physically pummelled by the World Champions - I've no idea what part of that would constitute a 'Jolly' tbh???

Would agree, not a "jolly" , but I genuinely don't get it. Hype over substance

I presume this is a wind up.
The all-ireland semifinal of our national sport , should bow to a contrived, overhyped gather-up.
I can just see it , lads on tables in pubs around the country (outside and socially distanced of course) , singing the fields of Athenry , beating their chests and roaring with tears in their eyes , "I'm British & Irish to the core" 😂🤦🏻‍♂️

I used to enjoy Irish rugby internationals , but my interest has wained in recent years as the game has got more boring and high risk of head/neck injuries. But I can still relate to the sense of place eg  club, province , country. However how somebody from Munster can get worked up about playing alongside someone from Northampton, genuinely baffles me
