2 Lions lineouts in a row lost now.

Harsh on Watson who has been the only back on either side to have shown anything at all

Aye. Lawes has had some good contributions as well.


Book front row has been quite good so far.

Struggling badly to retain our own ball. Uncomfortably like watching Scotland from a few years ago.
It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

The Lions back row has been no where IMO. Itoje is doing their job for them. Bar one carry from Conan.

Fat Trevor and Ox not keeping up with the pace, getting squeezed in the scrum after 30 mins.

It's kinda weird looking at Nienaber pacing in the box and Rassie doing all the talking on the pitch side

Yep. But the penalties are reminiscent of the England 6Ns campaign.
And are there two g’s in Bugger Off?

Lawes past it. Conan out of his depth (not helped by Faletau being dogsh*t during the tour leaving a selection headache) and Curry on a mission to give away dim pens.

Saffer front row should be getting their pilots licences, they have been been airborne nearly every scrum

If this is the game plan then theybarw as well taking Daly and VdM off and getting Farrell and Williams on.

They definitely tried to buy that last one. The hooker and LHP both stood up.

Kolisi left floundering there! Henshaw saves his blushes.

It’s to make the fix less obvious later.

Misdirection. He's giving the Lions something inconsequential now as a smokescreen for giving a real homer of a call later on.
