Just watched the first half.
How is bok 8 not sitting down for 10 minutes? Charging into a breakdown, no bind, shoulder first, to a player on the ground.
If it's the same incident, the Ref & TMO looked at it and decided he was going under the Lions player to help clear the ruck.
Considerig the off-the-field bollocks, I thought the Refs did a pretty good job overall and Jonker was fine as TMO.

Yeah they did. No idea how they reached that conclusion though. I'm not an expert on the rules, but he clearly smashed into Jones' back at speed, undoubtedly dangerous and surely not legal.
Jonker did fine considering. Not impressed with the refs on the whole, but they did have a tough job to do.

Can't make out if that is a parody site or if it simply has a problem with Sth African rugby. Headline after headline about how evil the Boks are and why the result of the Lions tour should be overturned in the LIons favour.

There are a few sites that pop up on my fb feed and this is one of them. Without exception they are a pile of shite. Jingoistic, one eyed, myopic, biased with click bait headlines that usually bear little resemblance to the pathetic article.
Not a parody unfortunately, but you are excused for asking same!

@victor-meldrew can’t vouch for site, but videos indicate that in Lions series and in RWC Final, in attack situations close to goal line Boks had someone from support staff stationed around area calling oppo plays and steering defence into place.

It's a fair point ruined by ridiculous jingoism.

Agreed. I think they rely on external content, which they ‘recycle’.
That said, check out 30 minutes in on this from Wibble:

how is Gatland's coaching rep looking like now? Doesn't seem to have been a great year/season for him.

The Fern is the opposite of "Jingoistic, one eyed, myopic".
Even Chiefs supporters think Foster should go.

I would say a large number of Chiefs fans think he should go. They had more chance of winning Lotto than a title when he was there.

Even Chiefs supporters? I'd say we are the front runners in
a) not wanting him appointed to the AB coaching panel in the first place
b) not wanting him as head coach
c) wanting him to go !Saturdays game had so many parallels to the chiefs era under him. Here's a few
- Stupid penalties given away for no reason as not under pressure
- Lack of any sort of game plan that made any sense
- 20 minutes of being on the front foot, scoring good points and dominating
- 20 minutes of being asleep on the pitch.

That is hilarious.
Honestly, the gall of South Africa to score more points than the Lions and win the series.

I'm going to come off really sexist and misogynistic... But I get Nienaber calling instructions given he's been a professional coach since 2008 with WeePee, Stormers, Bokke and Munster, whereas Rene Naylor is a physio
... what does she know about defensive alignments? -

This is the only SA-BIL test I didn't get up for, and the game ended up being the best of the lot. Not that hard really.
I was hoping to watch the recording last night but a power cut ended that idea. I'll read through the match comments later but a draw would have been the perfect ending.

Watch some old Lions vids from 2017, you never know what might happen.
