Well, they basically said that he can’t think quick enough to keep up with Russell, if that’s an excuse.
Yeah, but they made it sound like it was Russell's fault for not accommodating Farrell's lack of ability. The media cult around him is so bizarre. Like he's a good player, albeit with some significant weaknesses, yet they make him out to be Superman.

Showing a bit of a shit attitude after failing to take the pop from Price ( which was a hospital pass)

Mate, this defence is French 1939 vintage.
He does it in every game, but this time it’s the defence that’s shit
Alright Fanbooi. He’s great.
Woohoo! I win

Ali Price could have stopped for a coffee on the way through there.

That player stopping and putting a pop to a man coming round seems to feature a few times. Designed for the SA out to in blitz defence?

Poor Vincent. Best player in the local Lions team. Shit way to get injured scoring one of the most memorable tries of your career.

I take it a neck roll is foul play so cancels the previous penalty advantage?

Burger Geldenhuys playing well. Also our scrum look solid. Once they bring Sadie on we might push them back.

Defense are kak as usual

Odendaal should have worked on his tackling instead of his ‘tache this week.

Farrell has two turnovers conceded, two handling errors, some general idiocy, and that crucial missed tackle (if you can call it a tackle).

Just rusty I guess.

Have to say without fans and with this commentary team, this feels like a bad fan made version of the Lions.

Nice finish by Adams.

I'm not sure the Lions can get the back 3 wrong. All are very good.

The sky commentary team has a definite "Sunday morning fixture between Treviso and a Romanian team" feel to it

The ball presentation is terrible at times.

Nice play by Harris and Adams, just didn't bounce right.

Brilliant by Hogg.

I know we had advantage there but just kick it.
