Getting ready - we are in week four of our two week lockdown, so no beer and only the single malt left.

Already got "the talk" from Ms Barret about how this can be an opportunity to learn how to manage emotions under pressure.

Good luck with that

Nic Berry already made a couple of obvious mistakes.

Itoje playing very well.

I mean, how the ref thought he was on his feet for that last penalty is completely baffling.

Berry special

@bones or first or second player in. Even he was just glad it was not yellow

To be fair Curry got a hand on it but couldn't budge it as it was being held.

[SidBarret]

@bones are we talking about the one on the 5 meter?

[Bones]

@sidbarret yep

[Bones]

Poor decision by Wyn Jones. That was crying out for kick to the corner and assert some dominance.

What time does the rugby start?

It's a bit like two boxers circling each other so far.

[ACT Crusader]

Hold the ball properly!

[Bones]

Yuuuck Henshaw. Carrying in one hand, loosely. Try gone begging.

There are opportunities for BIL with this Bok rush defence. Made a few good runs on the outside.

However once the ball hits the deck the Boks attack the breakdown hard so you better have support.

[Bovidae]

I haven't been impressed with Sutherland on tour so I wouldn't be surprised to see him pulled early.

A lack of discipline by the BIL is gifting SA territory and easy points.

Is Greenwood 40 yet?

Mid-life crisis or what?

Show us! I missed it.

His mohawk

Bokke have a very good 2st half. My worries, Kwagga & Trevor has been awesome. For the Lions Itoje their best. It's going to be tough in the 2nd half

Good setup on that maul.

[ACT Crusader]

Better kick from Biggar.

Surely offside by Le Roux
