GordonS Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 4 minutes ago, Bob Mahelp said: I'm hoping that the Sky 'experts' will call this out at half time, but they won't. They'll bang on and on and on about 'excitement', or 'physical game on the edge', but they won't say it as it is...two teams that have convinced themselves that this is nothing more than a war of attrition, and are absolutely terrified to play rugby. It's brutal. Folk that are really into rugby, especially those who played the game, will see lots in this to enjoy. But this is a tour involving a select side, it's not for anything, not even world ranking points, and I think there's an obligation on both sides to showcase the sport a little. I'm not expecting Barbarians-style but we should be seeing better than this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bob Mahelp Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 This is worse than football. The officials analysing every single decision, every tackle, every move. We have to stop and look 12 times at everything. Players play acting, fans calling for cards at every tackle, players clapping decisions and acting like dicks (that'll be you Itoje). It's truly, brutal, awful, insulting shite. All of this. I know I don't have to watch it, but I love rugby....hopefully in this game at some point I might see some. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonS Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 It's 6.03pm. The second half should be kicking off in a couple of minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Mako actually manages a dominant scrum, SA drop it, and it's a reset 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That legendary France-Wales second half was longer, but that actually had 60 minutes of play! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bob Mahelp Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 It's essential for South Africa to start playing some rugby. They're not going to win this arm wrestle and I think they have to recognise this. All the Lions have to do is keep on matching up at moment, and it's far too easy for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did we not play a game against Ireland a few seasons back where a man was binned in injury time and actually got back on the pitch it went on that long? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 South Africa had both wingers on the same side and the Lions didn't cover it. Hogg is going to take pelters. Tbh for this type of shite game you would be best with Hugo Keenan playing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
