DeeTillEhDeh Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 South Africa have gone to pure truck and trailer maul rugby this half and the Lions have had no answer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 3 minutes ago, Bob Mahelp said: The referee made the onfield decision to give a try. I saw absolutely no definitive evidence that it wasn't a try. This VAR/football type analysing in rugby is tiring. I'm noticing that there's a difference in how Sky cover games in opposed to the BBC. Every decision has got to be questioned, and confronted. It's all fine for TV, poor for the game. He never had the ball under control. That was completely conclusive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Gatland has got this badly wrong - trying to take the South Africans on at a physical game is only going to result in one winner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left Back Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Games well and truly burst. What does Gatland have seeing as Gatland-ball is playing right into South Africa’s hands. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Jesus Christ - they are going in at an angle very time on the scrum - referee is completely oblivious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lions set up to be utter shite....Murray and Biggar...and tried to win the game by being slightly less shite than the Boks. Thankfully it didn't work. Maybe, just maybe, Gatland might try to play just an iota of rugby next week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Lions can rightly complain about a couple of decisions, but they have played appallingly badly today. Very few things they have done well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Angelo Barksdale Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 The officiating has been incredible tbh, some utter nonsense. Not least the refusal to even consider pulling up De Klerk for what was a no arms, shoulder to Murray's jaw. This doesn't take away from the fact the Lions have deserved f**k all from this game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonS Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Would it be fair to say SA got more - or at least as much - out of the referee today than the Lions got last week? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the French ref in the Wales Vs England game all over again. It’s a really poor performance from a generally excellent referee. Nothing can be done about the try, but certainly the tackle in the air can be revisited, as it’s an atrocious decision. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) Referee, smeferee. Gatland has made an absolute John Lacey of this. ETA: I’ll go back and greenie the Munster 2008 comment from earlier in due course.

The referee isn't why the Lions won last week, and it's not why South Africa won this week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
